  • Day 24 – People that moan about Christmas Miserable fuckers. All they do is bring everyone down. “Oh I hate Christmas, it sucks” and “It’s not as good as it used to be”. Personally, I think by doing away with the whole festive season you would actually do away with these incessant moaners. Sitting there with…

  • Day 23 – Dinnertime So there I am. I’m sat waiting for my dinner. My tummy rumbles and groans as the perfume of roasting meats and vegetables permeate the air. But because my eldest brother is working late we have to wait for him. Of course this means that the usual Christmas day dinner time…

  • Day 18 – Snow Though not entirely a Christmassy thing snow is one of those things that really irritate about the season. Well…maybe not the snow…But the British reaction to snow….that’s a different matter entirely. A case in point was last night. All this week the news on the telly and radio has been “ZOMG…

  • Day 17 – Birthdays Now those that profess to knowing me in a personal capacity will know that today is my birthday. Now what has this got to do with Christmas you may ask, well don’t ask me….ask the many other people that suffer the unfortunate circumstance of being born in December or during the…
