Dad got hammered last night, leaving the car in pub with Christmas veggies and potatoes in the boot.

Car is now locked in the pub car park, dad still in bed and I've to go driving around to neighbours doing the St Vincent de Paul rounds for myself.

Could be worse I know, but how embarrassing!!

Jesus Christ!!

He's still drinking and has told me the following 3 things in the last 10 mins:

Him and my mother never used contraception
He wants a pair of onesies because he's cold in bed
I'll be dead in the next 20 years.

why, why, why, why, why, WHY?

Not a personal disaster but my cousins parrot (Got today) was killed by crows. Was like watching something outta the Discovery Channel lol

What the.... HOW?!

Was the parrot put out in the open or something? Or does your cousin keep pet crows? What was the exotic bird (presumably with wings clipped) doing in the vicinity of vicious predators?!

Does your cousin have a Hitchcock fetish? This merits a thread of its own.

XMas 5 years ago I spent XMas day with a broken spine in hospital still half wondering if i'd ever walk again... that kinda sucked.

Highlight of the day was drinking Baily's & Whiskey mixed, and not having to get out of the bed (cause I couldn't, obviously) for a p1ss :pac: Had a bit of a buzz with the other cripples in the ward though and Micky Joe Hart came in (his cousin was in the next bed) and had a bit of a buzz off him :pac:

Actually the collective noun for a group of crows is a 'murder of crows'

In fairness, if they were vicious towards that poor parrot...

Was the designated driver this year...

Finally decided that we should all have someone do it. Only sobor person all night, after drinking a bunch of red bulls, get into the car all, I'll get you drunk ****s home in a hurry and get home to bed.

I stuck the car into a ditch on a patch of ice five minutes later.

Sober drivers cost lives.

Could you live with the shame?

Christmas 2004 was awful, my parents had been diagnosed with terminal cancer 3 months before and it was so desperately sad seeing them emaciated and needing 24 hour care, never mind eat any Christmas dinner. We still wanted to believe they would recover but they sadly passed away in the following 6 weeks.
We always make the most of every Christmas since, knowing they're in a happier place because they're no longer suffering - even though we miss them terribly.

I really feel for Brian Lenihan and his family. They could write their own reply in this thread.

:(My Xmas disaster, that I was going to post was that one year we forgot to purchase Xmas crackers. Feels all so trivial now, when I hear other peoples stories.

Well slipped on ice the other day quite sore but then i get a call from the landlord saying a pipes after bursting in the house and has possibly been leaking water through the house for the past few days thereby ruining everything.

I haven't been back yet as i'm at home for xmas will get to see the gaff tomorrow, dreading it, everything is probably ****ed and will need to find a new place to live now, do i win a prize??

I was forced to watch 'The Sound Of Music'.

Oh, and the oven kept turning off on it's own, and the dishwasher broke (his arm).
