I have Christmas FM on.

I am TA with myself for allowing all those happy christmas tunes erode my bitter inner self. I am now in a good mood and feeling all christmassy!
I have also had a glass of brandy.

Menas · 23-12-2015 06:14PM

Ach, I just sent an american work colleague a mail saying 'Happy Holidays'. Why would I do such a thing!?!

Snap! It is wonderful (can I say that on such a thread), that someone else besides me likes a nice Martell or Hennessy.

Everyone else thinks I am mad to like this drink but I DOOOOO.

Youre obviously drunk Menas,was it a glass or a vase of brandy?

Jaysis they would have a conniption if you mentioned anything other than Bland PC non religious XMAS stuff.

You will get promoted in 2016. Congratulations.

Oh and BTW I think you must work in a great company if you can drink Brandy and send emails while on the job!

I was in Dunnes earlier and noticed that the feminine hygiene aisle was covered in tinsel and fairy lights and stuff,
I had to ask why was that, the woman said it was just for the Christmas period.....:D:D:D:D:D

(that'll T.A someone.:p)

fussyonion · 23-12-2015 07:52PM

I went out this morning to do "The Big Shop".

Y'know, wine, crisps, chocolate, the important stuff, as well as the oul sprouts and cupboard shoite.

Almost disembowelled myself trying to reach over a towering display of Coke which some gombeen had decided to shove against the freezers.
I said quite loudly to my other half (in ear-shot of the manager): "What gob****e thought it was a good idea to put this Coke here?! I'm after hurting my hip!"
Manager glanced over sheepishly and ran off.

At the till, girl says: "Oh sorry you can't buy wine now. It's only 9am."
Sighing I said: "Right, I'll come back."

Went off with the rest of the shopping and was trying to back out of my car space but not one person would let me out.
I had to edge out cheekily to get my car's ar*e out there and finally I was able to get going.
Headed over to Aldi.

Got my ankles bashed off me by an oul wan who apologised profusely but the tears smarting in my eyes gave my pain away and it was all I could do to stop myself calling her a lampy-eyed tool.

Back to Tesco for my wine at 10:30am, not at all like a raging alco, and then headed home.

Then went to the gym, sprained my ankle on the treadmill, drove home tentatively and once I got home I remembered I needed to change the bedclothes as I'd stripped the bed that morning.

Duck-feather duvet owners will know only too well of the arm-ache that comes when you have to shake the duvet inside its' cover, so my arms were practically hanging off once I was finished.

Anyway, I then did loads of cleaning, sat down for a cuppa and my other half tells me his family are coming over this evening.
Great.

Gaygooner · 23-12-2015 07:54PM

My family esp my little sister who I just loaned €13K to, being so curt with me- not looking forward to Xmas

Rubberlegs · 23-12-2015 09:00PM

I got a box of snowflake lights for the bush outside. Every snowflake was individually wrapped in plastic that was nigh on impossible to remove. The snowflakes kept falling off the bulbs. They ended up tangled, and the more I untangled them the more the snowflakes fell off. When they were eventually on the bush outside , and I turned them on , they look meh. Fcukin meh! Oh yeah and one snowflake is missing altogether and I've raging PMT

I swear to god, it's as if certain folk are selected regardless of talent and forced upon us, being told that they are celebrities?

Men hanging around the above mentioned aisle and hovering around the knickers section ..either s*it or get off the pot,in other words buy them or move on ffs. No word of a lie I was in Ann Summers recently poking through the sale rail that was just inside the door and caught this muppet (around 50 Id say) standing outside watching me.I stood and stared at the muppet and he stared back and didnt move on.I had to leave that rail because I couldnt concentrate with him watching me...it wasnt you was it selous?:(:D

KatW4 · 24-12-2015 01:08AM

Got something stuck under my thumb nail and it hurts like hell!!

Whitewinged · 24-12-2015 07:22AM

Woke up last night with excruciating pains in my stomach, the equivalent to labour pains and started being sick. Thought I was going to die at one stage. Seems trivial this morning since I woke up feeling fine and now my thoughts of impending death last night seem a tad dramatic. Happy Christmas Eve

Gaygooner · 24-12-2015 07:23AM

Waking twice during the night - now been awake since 4

Menas · 24-12-2015 09:05AM

Eight AM on Christmas eve.

Cant believe that I am 1) Up, 2) Sober.

CrowdedHouse · 24-12-2015 09:36AM

Me too - decided to celebrate same with a jumbo breakfast roll!

OldNotWIse · 24-12-2015 11:09AM

In Argos yesterday and there were actually queues of people waiting to see the catalogues and check stock at those little tables they have! The fúck is wrong with the world. When I tried to get into a space this wheelin' feckin' monster of a woman phlumped her way into the space and said, "I was waiting here". And I knew that I'd had enough and that if I didn't escape soon my I'd turn into the Grinch when I wanted to scream, "I was here first, I hope you don't find what you're looking for bítch!"

The trick is to do all your searching & stock checking online before even hitting the store, then reserve online. When you get to the shop, you pay at one of those self service pay points, and thus avoid as much human contact as possible until the very end when you get what you've bought.

I was watching a documentary last night and an expert was called into the court case. The experts name was dun dun duuunnnn...

Dr. Eisenberg.

so now when I think of eisenberg1, I shall think of an middle aged female scientist lady person in a green cardigan.

Medusa22 · 24-12-2015 02:03PM

OH broke a bottle of red wine all over the beige carpet and it was a gift too. Also TA'd that OH's brother sent her Christmas presents from Germany unwrapped so I have to wrap them too.

Someone bring me a drink, not red wine!

Your friend is sparking water, doesn't have to be Ballygowan. To remove the stain that is...

Sites that force me to use their ****ty Irish version when I'm in Ireland. I do not give a flying **** how much shipping to Dublin is or what price something is in euro.

Don't know whether to laugh or cry... Just changed the bed here too, so sympathy
