leemond2008 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Blasphomy, blasphemy I tells ye Xmas will never be spent anywhere except for at me mom n dads until I have a family of my own and a wench to cook me a fat **** off dinner The blasphemy part came from your lack of Sunday dinners, that's just bad form Old chap, I surely would strangle myself to death if that was me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 No, not in a pub. It's not right. Get your mother-in-law to invite your mum over. Job done. You'll all be together then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 They've closed the rank turd down! It really was an awful pub too I can remember being asked to leave because the noise we were making in there was stopping the bartender from watching dancing on ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I pity you chaps. Here I am, with a few slices of toasted Veda with a bit of cheese on top, and it hit me that you chaps have likely never tasted this wonderful food. I pity the free staters more, though. For they have likely tasted it and have to do without unless they do a daring cross-boarder raid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted September 16, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2012 Christmas dinner in a pub? Never. Unthinkable. I won't even eat a normal Sunday roast in a "carvery". MUST be done at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaajax Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I'm wondering whether to reorganise my DVD collection by genre rather than alphabetically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Imperial War Museum earlier today (London version). A decent display but I'd always been under the impression it was a bigger space than that. Chuffed they had a WWI tank, one of my favourite pieces of kit.

LondonLax Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'm wondering whether to reorganise my DVD collection by genre rather than alphabetically? Arrange them in the order in which you first watched them. That should keep you going for a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 17, 2012 Author VT Supporter Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'm getting a new bookcase/DVD storage thing for my lounge soon and I'm irrationally looking forward to reorganising my collection. Think I'm going for alphabetical, by type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I only own about 15-20 DVD's, I just don't see the point in buying something I'll watch for about 90 minutes and then store for the next 50 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'm getting a new bookcase/DVD storage thing for my lounge soon and I'm irrationally looking forward to reorganising my collection. Think I'm going for alphabetical, by type. Just wondering, and applicable to all not just stevo; do you/would you put films beginning with numbers (ie. 12 Monkeys, 13 Assassins, 300, etc) at the beginning or end of the alphabet? OR would you put them in alphabetically based on the first letter of the number? This is probably the option for crazy people. A very srs issu. Personally I opt for putting them at the end of the alphabet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted September 17, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 17, 2012 The DVD organisation thing is a serious business. My collection (300 or so, and growing) is a mess - unlike my 1500+ CDs which are ruthlessly organised: Pop (covers rock, soul, folk, country, etc.) is alphabetical by artist, then chronological release date. As a Crazy Person, bands beginning with numbers go alphabetical too. Jazz is separate, but using the same system. Classical is alphabetical by composer, then composition date, then release date (in the case of multiple versions). But the DVDs are - roughly - by genre, then by the order I last watched them. I think I should sort them chronologically, really (but documentaries kept separate from feature films and TV series). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
