darrenm Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 People who get wound up about creeping early Christmas 'there are Christmas decorations up! In October!' 'she asked me if I was ready for Christmas!' Who **** cares? People can start preparing for Christmas whenever they want. And mid October it starts getting dark early anyway and weather getting colder etc. Some people enjoy the lead up to Christmas. Live your own life and stop being so grumpy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Username and password is never enough security. I've just bought a Yubikey Neo. It's very good. Bit pricey though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 A Facebook friend of mine has posted a link for a petition to pressure the Navy to support early retirement for an ex shipmate of his, since this person is injured/disabled or something. Anyway, it seems like a worthy cause. Not that I would sign it anyway, but the petition is from Tommy Robinson's website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Boring fireworks, already been going off for a week. It's like the one time a year the scummers buy less fags and Carling Black Label so they can explode stuff. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I have said this pretty much every year but never see why people get irate in the slightest about others enthusing in anyway what so ever about Christmas. It is perfect for this thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE Christmas, and starting the season so early dilutes what I want to experience as an intense burst of seasonal nostalgia IN DECEMBER. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is perfect for this thread. Because I hate christmas. It's shit. Seriously, I don't care about other people liking it but it's a bit much when it's in shops earlier and earlier and people go on about it all the bloody time and when people crap on about being nice to people because it's christmas. Here's an idea - be nice to people whether or not it's **** christmas (I think I may have said similar before on here).

lapal_fan Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 It's not in shops earlier and earlier every year. For the last 10 years there's always been Xmas stuff in the shops come September, it pisses me off that no one realises they're moaning about things that have been the same for ages and not realised. My wife has already gotten most of our stuff for friends and family and a few for our kid. I call her crazy, but it means we'll have more in the bank come January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Just now, ender4 said: #PedantAlert Won't you have exactly the same amount in the bank come January, whether you buy presents in September or December? Not in my experience. If there's spare money in the pot, we do days out/decorate etc etc. We'll spend more wisely than if we just waited till Dec, spend probably nearly a grand on Xmas and then had a long month in Jan (my lads bday in Jan too, so we need to hold back a bit too).

I'm not sure that the earlier and earlier every year comment was meant to be taken quite so literally. As your second sentence seems to implicitly acknowledge, more than a decade ago things may have been slightly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted October 16, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted October 16, 2017 People who seem to think that posting something on social media is the same as telling you their news in person.

If the whole thing pisses you off (and hearing about it through advertising also pisses you off which is rather implicit) then hearing about it for longer would, necessarily, piss you off more - thus making a difference to someone's life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
