Greedy Jambo Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Has anyone ever thought of just sticking a Christmas tree up when it starts snowing? Like, get the full effect, get the dinner on, get the cheese and crackers in. Do you know what i mean? Instead of this yearly built up to what ultimately ends up in people getting in debt, a lot of ungrateful *******s, and an absolute let down of a 24 hours. That's just one example by the way, i could rant all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greedy Jambo Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 Where is the snow by the way? I have glorious memories as kid, being allowed out until 10pm because the whole place was thick with snow, with the street lights on, it was almost like daylight.

Christmas is the biggest falsehood of the year. 👍 So many more - going on your ‘holidays’ in certain months of the year. ’Celebrating’ the birthday of some arsehole at work that you can’t stand. Wearing sunglasses, not because it’s sunny, just because all the ‘cool’ folk do it. Growing a feckin beard. Feck that, looking like a scaff because the ‘guys’ do it. Being PC, whilst, behind closed doors, you act, and speak, as you used to. Wearing trousers (usually mustard in colour) that are two or three inches above the ankle. Must be your wee brothers ones, aye? Telling lewd jokes to ‘the lads’. Being ‘one of the lads’. Getting a tattoo. Wearing a silver ring on your thumb. Really?

Yeah, nothing wrong with taking advantage of soft open offers, remember me and a mate managing to get a table at dishoom on their soft open weekend, 50% off all food and their waiting staff managed to forget to add 50 or 60 quids worth of drinks onto the bill, pished and well fed for about 20 quid each!
