Ban Christmas

Recommended Posts

And all other commercialised holidays for that matter. It?s November and Magic FM has dedicated there entire schedule to tacky festive music, Goose Green has been partly annexed by a commercial tree seller, thanks for that Southwark. Decorations on shops, lights on houses, charity collections, carols singers. GO AWAY! Humbug.

Please Lou, turn down the Crank-O-Meter just once a year.


There?s so much fun to be had. You can watch telly with tinsel on it, you can watch all the Christmas special things you love.

People lining up out side not one, but two cheese shops in East Dulwich Town. If you want, grab a train to London?s Borough Market and watch the queue snake around outside for the biggest (all British) cheese shop of them all, Neal?s Yard Dairy.



Steve McQueen not quite making the jump over the barbed wire fence, in The Great Escape. I?ve watched that dozens of time and each year I say ?he?s going to make it this year!?. That?s the optimistic, glass half full kinda guy I am.



Bah humbug, bah ?Cornish Yarg?

Seabag I?d rather choke on my vomit than be forced to spend half a moment watching yuppies queue up for overpriced cheese on Lordship Lane.


No, I will happily be spending the rest of November (today) drinking a lovely bottle of Argentinian Malbec with my feet soaking in a plastic washing up bowl full of radox. This is how I roll safe in the knowledge we are a solid MONTH off from any religious holidays, and this is how you and others should be spending their weekends.


Btw Steve McQueen will make over that fence this year.

I agree Lou


I?m currently sitting by the pool in the Canaries sunning myself, TOTALLY Xmas free.


It?s blissful

I?m actually working (a bit), so skiving between tasks as I wait for replies from my office.


It?s a tough life.

Surely plastic trees do more damage? I suppose it depends whether you?re looking at it from a C02 point of view, or the destruction of the ocean through plastic?

Rather than ban Xmas this could have been a better worded thread. You can't ban a festival under a western democracy.


But a good question anyway about the value and meaning.


Is it a religious festival? I expect for most not, and carols etc all rather a token.


A pagan festival? Probably the origins and more of interest to me.


A family celebration and good will on earth? With the country divided it doesn't feel that way.


A consumerist experience giving joy to those who like buying presents, receiving them and making money? That is the way it feels.


So essentially a load of nonsense but I can't bzn it.


I do take exception to growing things only to throw them away,the whole general waste of unneeded/unwanted gifts and the tat. Trees just left on the street being the worse example. I'll buy a tree to show my support of peace, harmony and love and then expect someone else to pay to dispose of it.


And excessive decorations? If you are the person on Westwood Park WTF is that about? All rather vulgar. Ironically I liked the houses on Lenard Road Cator Park, that ended up having to take it in turns but collected money for charity.

    • Do also remember that, whilst this is the original there is an unrelated FB presence with a (very) similar name, which might also be prayed in aid. 
    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.
