Early rise as it's my only day off over the xmas. Fry up brekkie. Presents exchanged then doss around till dinner. Food then boardgames (my real big hobby with a back catalogue of almost 100 games to pick from this year!!) and drink. Then muppets xmas carol and bad santa and more drink. Then maybe some online poker as everyone is getting sick of each other

Would be perfectly safe to run them off a shaver socket (especially if outdoor lights - waterproof) - do lesbian bathrooms not have shaver sockets
:pac:
Or get AA battery powered LED lights - fiver in Dunnes.Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

Houses that were bought after the electrician had done all the wiring and whose purchaser did not want to fork out another cent as she was already paying more than enough for the damn house don't have shaver sockets in the bathroom.
Worked for Dunnes when I was in school- it will be cold day in hell before I shop in their stores. We hates 'em...0 -

Slight modification on this, just dug out an xbox 360 that I bought like 2 years ago, played it for 2 months and packed it away, it's been sitting in it's box ever since (I'm really not a gamer, don't know why the fúck I bought it).MagicMarker wrote: »Won't be doing anything, no kids in the family anymore. I won't be visiting any family and hope to christ no one visits me.
It'll be just like any other day for me, except with added mince pies, tins of roses and a bottle of rum.
10 minutes after setting it up I get the red ring of death, but I laid it on it's side which seems to have sorted it, so I'll be doing me a bit of gaming over Xmas. So yeah, anyone recommend any games as I only own 2? 0 -

Ooh I know, had to put my own one in - for my gender neutral rechargeable toothbrush. The MAN_SHAVER was content to get a charge once a month from a normal socket through an adaptor, not so the Braun/Oral-B yoke.Worked for Dunnes when I was in school- it will be cold day in hell before I shop in their stores.

Oranges are not the only fruit Dunnes are not the only store, try one's local euro shop.
Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

I got the Amiga Batman Pack 20 years ago Sarky, the Batman : The Movie game was adequate at best

After a weekend of 4 adults, 2 children and 3 dogs in a two bedroom house I am more inclined to purchase a fecking caravan and move far far away *whinge*.
Oranges + Dunnes = very droll sir, very droll.

Parents aren't devout catholics, but still attend mass weekly. The rest of us are lapsed/atheists but never make an issue of it.
We will be doing everything as usual. Wake up, open presents, and spend approx 12 hours constantly preparing and eating food while the rest enjoy some wine, sherry, and baileys coffee. I'll be boring and sober as I will be driving to my mates house in the evening for our traditional christmas poker game while my family will stay behind and play board games.
My main fear is I volunteered to make a cheesecake for the day and I have a bad feling it will taste like crap 0 -

Kids at their Dad'ses on the day this year, so just me and the lovely man chilling out considerably (well, mostly me as lovely man will be cooking up a storm for Stephen's day prep) - get stuck into some films we bought and Sarah Millican's new stand-up DVD
Kids back next morning and pressieeeees!!! Yay!! Can't wait for that day - We'll have some friends over too and have gone for a help-yerself table of goodies - everything we like but don't usually afford to eat - Mmmmm, fridge is groaning under the weight of 10 different cheeses and many different meats/snacks/salads. Meanwhile, have kids DVDs and nearly 1/2 the southpark series to introduce to young impressionable minds.
Might squeeze a walk in there sometime, before I hit the port/mulled wine. I love xmas Friends and neighbours dropping in for some mix n match company - love it all! Have a good one everybody :):)
Ps. LOVE turning my house into bling-central on the inside - my kitchen looks like a cheesy 80's disco for the season. Sometimes I leave it up till february :-)0 -

There wasn't much duuurty stuff on TV in those days, and I was at an impressionable age Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island.
