Christmas Ads. Anybody else sick of it already?

Filmer Paradise

Okay. It's November the 8th & every second ad on the telly is full-on Christmas.

I think it's too soon for all this.

What do the good folk on AH think?

Christmas is a load of nonsense full stop, whoever invented it should be nailed to a cross.

I'm sick of the 'I'm already sick of Christmas' brigade

Adverts you say ? I'm in Co. Dublin and I have not heard one single christmas add so far. But there again, I only listen to music online from abroad that have no adverts playing between music, and I don't have a TV because I fcuked it in the skip many years ago, I think it was a cathode ray tube tv.

I will know and feel christmas when the people I meet turn into repeaters from all the adverts they have heard while forwarding their misery of such a thing to Me.

Why do folk listen to adverts anyway ? is it some new hip thing ?.

Whenever anyone on the internet says 'Am I the only who' or 'anybody else feels the way I do?' Yes, yes they do. Cos this is the internet and theres millions of people using it and chances are even in a relatively small community like boards at least one other person feels the same as you.

Everything is done now via desktop computer/tab/smart-phone and ham radio. Technologically adapted. A tv is just a bubble of crap forcing its way into a persons brain when the person/persons should be living in the future of real communication and expressing themselves instead of taking in all the bad side/stuff of the idiot-box.

Why does Dublin not have a dedicated smooth jazz radio station ? we could do with one.

Well la de da. I just ask a simple question & now it's all 'I don't watch TV anymore. I'm a citizen of the world & I'm past all that sort of nonsense & take your plebeian cathode-ray technology with you!'

Christ.

Away in a manger,
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head

The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes

I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side,
'Til morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray

Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And take us to heaven
To live with Thee there

And the sins of the daughters too? We have to create equal opportunities for everyone to commit sin nowadays.

I think it's an EU directive or something to do with Health & Safety.:)

JONA LEWIE – STOP THE CAVALRY LYRICS
Hey, Mr. Churchill comes over here
To say we're doing splendidly.
But it's very cold out here in the snow
Marching to and from the enemy.
Oh I say it's tough, I have had enough,
Can you stop the cavalry?

I have had to fight almost every night,
Down throughout these centuries.
That is when I say, oh yes yet again,
Can you stop the cavalry?

Mary Bradley waits at home,
In the nuclear fallout zone.
Wish I could be dancing now,
In the arms of the girl I love.

Dub-i-dub-i-dum-dum

Dub-i-dub-i-dum-dum
Dub-i-dub-i-dum
Dub-i-dum-dum-dub-i-dum
Dub-i-dub-i-dum
Wish I was at home for Christmas.

Bang goes another bomb on another town
While the Czar and Jim have tea.
If I get home, live to tell the tale,
I'll run for all presidencies.
If I get elected I'll stop
I will stop the cavalry.

Mary Bradley waits at home,
She's been waiting two years long.

Yes you can.

Don't drag a thread off topic with meaningless waffle.

Do you just type for a hobby or do you want to make a meaningful contribution that's relevant to the point in hand?

Simply having
a wonderful Christmas time.

Those who like Christmas will enjoy Christmas ads.

Those who don't will be Victor Meldrew clones within days. Me included.

Anyway, each to their own.

It is ONE fekin day. Get over it.

I would like to leave this city
This old town don't smell too pretty and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum
'Cause I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

So here I go, I'm still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
Half the world away, half the world away

I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down

And when I leave this planet
You know I'd stay but I just can't stand it and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And if I could leave this spirit
I'll find me a hole and I will live in it and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

Here I go, I'm still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say ?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
Half the world away, half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down

No I don't feel down
