I was just taking a few minutes to catch up on posts I missed (how do you lot find time to chat so much on these forums?) when I stumbled on this discourse in philosophy. Thanks, fellas, for such open thinking in public. Christmas has become a real chore over the years and yet we still go through the same old stuff - and for what? Swmbo and I had decided months ago to do a bunk and leave the kids and their own families to it but had to change plans yet again so still in wet and windy Cornwall. Life's tortuous path goes on. Alan I did consider deleting the thread as I was a bit embarressed at such a public wobble. But if anyone else wants a moan they can find solace here as it appears not many of us blokes really look forward to all this bollocks. I am quite enjoying it now though although I have the "lets get the van spotless and all nice for Christmas" episode to go through yet sometime today. The suns shining up here today which is always a bonus. Might even do a Carol service later. Just dont tell Mrs D. She doesnt know about Carol. Bum te te Bum! |

Absolutely - anyone staying in Cornwall now is totally off their trolley - aren't we Tuggers!
All sound down there on the end? Bit blowy up here on the north coast but worst seems to have passed.

And what is all this stray Xmas stuff floating across my screen? Some bugger's found their way in to annoy me with false seasonal spirit.

Please don't delete it Barry.
It may allow others who also hate it to realise that it's OK to say so.
Wa are off just now to a German Christmas lunch. Christmas eve being the big day for them.
I am sure it will be fine but they will try to prevent me drinking water. They always do. If I start on the beer at lunch time I will be in bed by six and that will be it till the morning. Not so bad when we are in the house at home but in the van I wouldn't be able to sleep as normal life goes on around me. I really do hate drinking during the day, it just wrecks me. I can only start early if it is going to go on till bed time and that won't happen, they are too civilised for that, Alan.

I know what you mean Alan. I cant just go out for A pint. Well I can. Just one. Once I have two its game on until bed time or falling over whichever comes first. We must get together!
German Christmas Lunch sounds fun though but the fact it has the word German in it tells me it wont be a sober affair.
These Christmas decs are doing my head in an all. Ill change them.

Oi Barry, old bean, can you tell me where alhod lives? He's in Cornwall somewhere, it would be a neat trick for me to turn up on his doorstep tomorrow just as they're serving up Christmas dinner. It would be OK, I'm sure, I have a spare bottle of cheap plonk!  |

I'll tell you where I live and you're welcome to turn up with your cheap plonk but you'll be on yer own on the doorstep, cos we're not there.
The enforced stay here is to spend Christmas with our daughter and her children. Without seeking to put any more of a damper on the spirit in here, her husband took his own life a few months ago and this is their first Christmas without him.
So sombre time trying to be happy.
Alan

Hooey, that's a tough one, I'll stay away then. I'll just wait awhile and come along and bugger up your birthday. Cheque's in the post, Barry.
Sincere good wishes to you and your family, alhod.

Yeah. Best wishes to all. Kind of puts it all into perspective when you read things like that.
Cheers everyone.
