Norm Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Don't worry, this isn't going to be too depressing a post. But basically the work's redundancy process has finished, there's no alternative job offers and my last pay is Christmas Eve. So in an effort to cheer me up, what I'm looking for is JKBs best Christmas Movies 24 style suggestions for what will happen next. Over to you JKB...

martoon Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 If the OP is looking for Christmas film recommendations to cheer him up then "The Bishop's Wife" is the answer. B&W, 1947, starring Cary Grant, David Niven and Loretta Young. Lovely old movie that we watch every Christmas. If not, I've no idea what the OP means. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky .Left school at age 15 and had the choice of apprenticeships for Engineering Electrician,Joiner,Plumber,Decorator or Printing and those choices came with very little of qualifications.I chose Printing and I was involved with Printing till I retired at age 60 4 years ago How lucky was that I really feel for younger folk now For those who want to work it must be hard to make the right choices Well one thing those days have in common with these strange times is that Hearts are shite again All the best pal Hope you get something sorted soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those confused, you know the extremely formulaic, shitty x-mas TV movies that are popular on chanel 5 just now? Where there's normally some widowed father or some wifey having a job crisis but it all gets saved in a cheesy as **** way for Christmas? I was basically looking for the JKB equivalent of what that might be for this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Fredrickson Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 It has to be Its A Wonderful Life. Missed opportunities by trying to "do the right thing", feeling low and desperate, world seems to be falling in on you, start the slide into self pity then out of nowhere a trainee angel appears to grant you a wish. Will not spoil the ending for folk that havent seen it. PS hope things pick up for you Norm but at least you arent involved in the bitching and politics of who gets Christmas off and who has to work.

Sooperstar Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Opened this thread expecting to see a 'comedy' version of Driving Home For Christmas. Maybe you could use your time to do that, get it viral and become an influencer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with "It's on the dole for Christmas, it's Christmas on the dole" to the "Rock and Roll Christmas" tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
