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.

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
