They have the full christmas shop set up.

Yep...christmas shop.

Now christmas day isn't in one months time, or two, or three or even fcuking four so what the fcuk are they at?

They might as well put the easter eggs and valentine's shíte out for sale while they are at it.

Christmas is lovely. I love Christmas.

I remember I was on the Dart years ago, and there was a guy with a discman (yeah that long ago) listening to christmas songs .... in the summer.

Really, I thought it must be a mix CD the next song will be a regular one , nope another christmas song.

Pfft, someone who HAS TO go to BT for coffee complaining about the imminence of Christmas. World's gone effing mad!

Friend Computer

It's always bemusing to see how ridiculously irate people become about this. Why does it elicit such a response? Why does it bother you at all?
I'm not being facetious, I really don't understand this.

I bet those kids in Africa wouldn't complain having Christmas decorations in their local brown Thomas!

Chareth Cutestory

Where I used to work Christmas decorations would arrive in August and the dregs would be hanging around on sale until about mid March. I certainly wouldn't say it filled me with rage but the whole year revolved around Christmas, 7 months looking at the same bloody decorations began to drive me slightly insane. I understand it's the busiest time of year in retail but for the people who are surrounded by Christmas for so much of the time, it really takes away some of that warm/fuzzy/magical feeling that people get (unless you are a monster with a heart of stone) when it does eventually roll around.

When I was younger I used to love seeing Halloween decorations in shops but no one really gives a hoot about that anymore, it's just not enough of a money spinning holiday I suppose.

Everyone is so distracted by the display, no one mentioned that BT is not the only shop that sells them capsules. Arnotts sells them too.


Now to the distraction, man that is ridiculous, it is getting earlier and earlier each year

Happy x-mas everyone and may your new year be a kind and happy one :-)

Fairly confident, they have a whole section for them nespresso machines at the basement floor beside headphone section.. Can't see why would they sell the machine and not capsules..

I'm venturing in later, let you know what I find tonight

They can't be selling too much of anything if they can devote half a floor, or whatever it is to junk that's not going to sell for 3 months. Seems more desperate than daring to me.

To be fair it's fierce handy and better than any shíte you buy in a jar.

True coffee lovers will have the full gear but for a quick cup the nespresso is grand.

Anyone who starts their Christmas shopping in August really needs to cop on and Get A Life!
