So this is the wrong thread, time and place for me to announce that I have completed purchasing all Mrs Z's pressies meaning all I have to do now is sit back and pour several drinks with the odd sausage roll and mince-pie thrown in :D

Christmas shopping tip - elbows - use them - gets you to the front quicker :thumbs:

Then you would miss the iTunes £25.00 card being sold in Boots for £20.00 or the clock/radio/docking thingy at HMV reduced from £100.00 to £30.00 and the local pub had a Beer Festival plus roaring log fire going with the rugby being showing on a 70 inch TV :D plus no hanging around waiting for the postman or having to go to the depot cos he left a card despite being at home (it DOES happen!)
 
I normally listen to Heart Radio in the car but that has now been blacklisted, they are playing christmas songs already :runaway:
 
I drove past a house last night, just outside of Nazeing that is already decorated with those really tacky lights designed to look like icicles..... It looks really classy...

My sympathies.

I listen to Wave 105 down here but as soon as they start I'll be over to Jack FM til January. And if they start, err radio 2 maybe.

Sorry you had to go through that. I feel your pain. :D
 
My Xmas plan is as follows: wake up extremely hungover from the night before, at no earlier than 4pm Xmas day, and as soon as it opens i will be ordering a Chinese. :P
 
Bloody lights are up in Borough Green :(

Arson has never really appealed to me, but when I see those houses covered with crappy,tacky and pointless lights, I could get into a new hobby.

Even worse, yes, it is possible, those utter spackers who feel the need to have inflatable Santas and crap in their gardens................:bang:

Unfortunately, I do live in one of the Chav capitals of the universe, and I'm dreading the inevitable inflatable Santa/snowman invasion. I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet to be honest.

It's my dream to see them all go floating off to space...


...ideally with their owners attached! ;0)
 
The ones I hate the most are.....Santa on a rope hanging out the top bedroom window. Santa climbing ladders stuck to the outside of the house. The poorly made reindeer light display nailed to the front of the house and on a side note young children in push chairs drinking bottles of tea:gag: tea is an acquired taste why would you give your baby a bottle of tea:cuckoo:

"Bump" to keep the thread going.:clap:
 
There is a pretty village near here - very rural, nice old church - couldn't be nicer in summer, but from mid-November onwards most of the houses in the one and only street seem to compete with each other to have the largest, tackiest, worst display of outdoor Christmas light imaginable. It is just hideous!

Personally I put the decorations up on Christmas Eve, and refuse to have either coloured lights or tinsel in the house. I recommend it - last year's rather magnificent 7' non-needle dropping tree cost 1p (yes really) from the local DIY chain :-)
 
People who go to the supermarket and buy a massive trolley load of food as if the shops wont be open for a month, then they are back in again the day after Boxing Day for another massive load, how much gets wasted?

YES! That bugs me on every single bank holiday. God forbid anyone should buy less than 4 loaves of Kingsmill. :cuckoo:

G'day mate and welcome to me thread, with me Kaaaarl Hooper.

Sorry, got carried away there, the last few words.(Fast Show reference)

So they are as bad in the retail sector over there as here then? I thought it was only the Brits who were so hung up on all the cr4p!
 
First xmas card of the year landed yesterday :rules: :nono: :help:
 
Just thought I would let you guys know, our inflatable frosty is ready to be put up come 1st December :)

And no, I don't live in a council house or a housing estate.

There's usually 14 of us for Xmas Dinner and Tea, then around 10 for boxing Day, so not much food gets wasted, so we have to shop again, maybe not day after Boxing Day, but at least a couple of days later.
