This year for Christmas I do NOT want the following:


A silly retro humorous calendar "Oh but you love those" (no actually, I flippin well don't)


Jamie's 15 minute cookbook (ha)


Synthetic fibre Socks


Thermals


A bag with lots of zips and pockety things "to put all ya bits and bobs in"


A Christmas dinner which MUST BE EATEN whilst it's steaming friggin hot.


Any jam from the simpering Woman over the road "It's strawberry with vanilla in-homemade"


A crummy-thin-flavourless-curry, made by the hubby of the above woman.



Any utterly pointless "stocking-filler-smellies-odd-shaped-soaps-or stuff"



In anticipation, thanks but no thanks.


And you lot over the road "sling yer hook"



Nette


( I must say, I do feel better now )

Christmas despite popular (dis)belief is for Christians and not a subject for rhetoric and ridicule, bemoaning the bad taste of the gifts so ungraciously received! (indeed) If you find you cannot stomach some gift then give it charity and let some other benefit from your unwanted junk

Mr Matey Bubble Bath and a satsuma. That's what was in my stocking year after year. Santa must have had oodles of the stuff.

Oh nomsy



Even better, I recycle them back within that group who gave them. I'm often amazed how many crap gifts you can palm off, and back onto those you detest.


All delivered with the standard "It's only something small...hmmmm" phoney festive smile.


I'm down with the God thing, really. Personally I'd just rather spend time with my family, remembering that it is a spiritual festival.


But somehow, that other stuff just gets in the way.



Peace to all.

Can we hear more about the trembler with the strawberry jam lady, Curtains?


Left along on the smokey patio as the others moved inside for a warm up. Her teeth clashing into yours with surprising vigour. The smell of menthol and mulled wine on her breath. You, shocked into inertia, strangely but only briefly compelled to submit to the force of her unbidden desire. Her snort of derision as you broke off and hurried inside.


But ever since, the jam and the special simper, just for you. And the curry, coating your palate with guilt and shame.

But rhetoric and ridicule, with a hefty dose of science and logic if one is in the mood, are the only approproate reponses to Christianity per se.

    • Thanks for posting this JMK we have had 3 children at Charter East so have been involved with the school from the very early days and have watched the impact of inconsistent, unsupportive and at worst unprofessional and biased management on them over the years. Individual teachers have at times been great and as JMK says it is the overall structure that creates a toxic and punitive atmosphere which directly impacts some families more than others and these are the kids overwhelmingly that have an SEN.  The experience of these families is night and day compared with the families with children that can cope in this system.  
    • Another recommendation for Lukasz, he sorted out our bifold door. He came at the agreed time, found the issue very quickly, adjusted it, all very carefully and with attention to detail. And he was very reasonably priced as well. 
    • Well sure someone will correct me but years ago, in Singapore and I was quite young so not sure if it is true. but if you were caught stealing, your little finger or just the  tip part with nail was chopped off.  Stigma for  life as all know that was punishment for stealing… no questions asked.Totally agree it is barbaric but equally putting people  into overcrowded prison for minor offences is also not right. Tagging I guess would not work or maybe does… no idea at all.  Not so long ago, heard a talk about how European’s cope/deal with prisoners and how the suggest rate is higher and offences lowered greatly as in not going back to prison for same  or another offence.  The general gist was their approach was each prisoner mattered , was heard and listens to and a suitable package was tailored towards their needs. Not  b one package for all. Not cooped up for the majority of the day - encouraged as an example to cook, garden, grow food, other household stuff  plus study if wanted for courses, languages etc. and mental health, dependency on substance abuse also addressed. Can’t remember if they were paid c pocket money which clearly accumulated or could be used to  I purchase whatever in prison. If they can do it by experimenting and I think but not sure, at the time an English prison was learning why can’t this sort of program be rolled  out throughout UK - cut backs not an excuse - think of the millions lost by govt during Covid…  Maybe it is - no experience in the matter at all.   
    • Why have things got so complicated? I suppose a cat flap with a timer might be useful for people out all day but can't really see the point of them when its so easy to flip a simple mechanical lock. This is how my last cat flap operated but had to be replaced when cat wearing cone of shame tried to escape and broke it. The cat flap I have now is one of those linked to cats microchip but even then there is just a four way dial which allows different kinds of access - or not. Not that cat is bothered, refuses to use it and demands i open the door for her. This is bit of a rant because along with a new boiler I got a new electronic programmer which is really annoying as it takes 5 minutes to change a simple temperature whereas with old programmer it took 10 seconds. Hope you get sorted @oglander and enjoy your future servitude to your feline master.
