    This is bad how!!

    I actively dislike xmas

    Say 'tain't so, Thomas. Please do. A half-hunderd of coal roaring in the fireplace, camembert and port and all manner of good things on the coffee-tables, one's Daimler burbling gently through the snow-strewn streets, laden with presents while the footman throws roast chestnuts through the windows to the urchins without. What, I ask of thee, is not to like?? :cool:

    Well I hate this hysterical yowling about Christmas that various retailers start around the end of August too. It's hard work to not be all Christmased out by the time it actually gets here. :pac:

    Any time before December 13th really. Twelve days is enough time for anyone to get enthused about Christmas. I used to enjoy Christmas, maybe that's because I was a child and didn't realise how commercialised it was even back in the 80's (one of my favorite Christmas memories was our mother taking us all to a massive warehouse full of toys, and we all picked out mauser guns and pretended to shoot the shyte out of each other... happy days :D), but now... you just can't bloody avoid it for even five minutes! :(

    Not to mention, "chugger season" will soon be in full overdrive too, armies of the fcukers out on the streets, that if you go one way to avoid them, you're guaranteed to run into another ten of them down a side street catching all the people that have ducked to avoid their buddies on the main street! :pac:

    It is almost comical, the apoplectic conniption the various commercial entities get themselves into to sell you even more ridiculous crap during the run-up to Christmas. Thankfully, I am largely immune to it. Except I intend to buy myself one of them there new Gillette razors with the James Dyson-esque rotating ball, the better to track, GPS-like, the geologically interesting topology of my mush. Damn you, King C. Gillette!! :D

    I got blood taken earlier on and I can't handle that ****, my blood was always intended to stay inside. after the third little vial yoke being full I had no more blood to give and was ready to fall asleep.

    Trivially annoying part was having to walk through the waiting room full of people after, wrecked off my box like I smoked a pint of vodka, then outside someone pulled up in a car and asked me where the primary school is. what school I don't even have enough blood

    Dirty filthy women leaving their Tampax wrappers and sanitary pad papers on the bathroom floor in the gym toilets.
    I've mentioned this before.

    The cleaners are excellent at keeping the changing rooms/toilets immaculately clean; then some filthy cow goes and leaves her lady things on the floor when there's a BIN right beside the toilet.
    It's just laziness and dirtiness and I fcuking hate it.

    Aw man don't do it - back to the future with a double edge razor, your face will thank you.

    Am I reading that right? Nearly €200? :eek:

    I'd love to get one, but my life insurance policy doesn't cover anything sharper than a play-doh knife in my hands... :pac:

    Beating myself up all day over a stupid mistake, can't let it go :(. That and beating myself up over other people's behaviour beyond my control, but feeling responsible for it all the same...

    Know the feeling, did something stupid a few weeks ago and couldnt stop. So I wrote down never to make that mistake again on a small piece of paper and ate it. Its the only way.

    Ok I didnt really but you probably should.

    Well it is a kind of premium model...and I did say cajole...still though I'll have it 5 years this Christmas and it has been used every single day since I got it, not many presents do that!

    Phew so it wasn't only me, I got a full size MP40 one Christmas, and still have it, over 30 years now, although, it doesn't make the sound when you pull the trigger.:D

    The Beastie Boys.

    Jesus Cristo, they are bloody annoying. I know you are probably wondering why in 2015 I am annoyed them but I listen to random playlists on Accuradio a lot (old school, but still great).

    But by God, they are ****e. So ****e. Always reach for the 'next' button when they come on. Out of tune shouting, that's all it is!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,731 ✭✭✭Schwiiing


    Sam Smiths vocal range. At the upper limit of human hearing at all stages. Terrible.

    Take the back!!!!!

    ...just kidding, I love the Beasties though but am highly aware that they are not everyones cup of bovril.

    I'm a bit of a music snob, I used to be a huge snob and it closed off alot of music for me growing up. It's annoying and good that I have so much other music to catch up on.

    Wait till you get a load of Kylie Minogue & Jason Donovan doing a duet. Mind. Blown.

    As a fan of Neighbours growing up, I was all over that sh*t.
    The last time I heard that song was when I was in a Neighbours Trivia Tour Bus on the way to 'Ramsey' Street after visiting 'Erinsborough High'.

    EDIT: ^FYI - That is not a joke!

    I am older than you guys, so I reckon the "Johnny Seven" was your only man.

    And no, it's not a pack of condoms for every day of the week!
