chrisp65 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I wonder if she’ll do the same as last year and come out with broad platitudes about it being harder for everyone, sat in her palace with a gold piano in the background. Or just stick with the obvious doubling down on paedo sex trafficking being unbecoming behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 All credit to the lead singer, possibly the only person there that didn’t know the words to ‘wish it could be Christmas everyday’. Keytar was awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I've just had a bag of brussel sprout crisps and they were lovely. Just tasted like a really mild wasabi without any of the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, liking or not liking sprouts is a genetic thing, related to a particular trace element which is present in both sprouts and horseradish. I'm in the 'love them' camp - I actually like to put horseradish sauce on sprouts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try one every Xmas, hoping my taste buds will grow to like them (I used to hate olives until I forced myself to like them, now I love them) but it's always rank.

A'Villan Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Less than a month now. Might have to volunteer with the homeless at some point on the day itself. I'm sure it's one of the better times of year for them, considering it's the middle of Summer and people might be more generous. Still though, having the constant reminder that family and loved one's are celebrating all the things that these people don't have must be tough.

Anywho, buying the tree Saturday, decorating saturday. For the past 15 or so years, I've had Gabby Agbonlahor as my angel. Now he is a retard, I'm thinking Jack Grealish? I hope he lasts for 10 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there last year, its really **** weird, you have to sit there all day, maybe go to church in the morning, then have a big family meal, all the while knowing your presents are going to be opened on the evening, I don't get it, the missus wont have it any other way, as a kid how do you build the excitement? how do you enjoy the day? ours just seems like an easier lie to tell them and by and large the present side of it was done in my house by 7am so you can move on to the other bits, like eating and getting pissed the 23rd is a non event, the 25th is then like boxing day, boxing day was another non event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
