Ban the C-word until 18 December

[Tom]

I'm sick of it. Its only the middle of bloody November and the shops are full of shite, the television is happily beaming out snow-covered bullshit, and even in this haven of cynicism the stupid word is creeping in.

So I propose a temporary forum rule. The C-word (or the X variant) will be banned until 18 December.

cuntmas is a bag of fucking horse shit.

 

[chipper]

well i love CHRISTMAS so no

 

[Yoni]

Careful Tom for some of us there is an equivalent Christmas on 5th December where gifts are given so yes it is literally a week on Saturday.


As for the shops being full of Christmas stuff this is natural especially as we are in an economic decline and they want consumers to think about buying a little at a time but spend the same amount of dosh.

Why are you so miserable around Christmas. I know why I can be.. ususally it is the thought of Christmas lunch at my parents (as much as I love them) I find the noise generated by 2 brothers and sisters their respective partners, children and anyone else my parents can gather in to much.

This year I am very much looking forward to Christmas because it will be quiet and intimate just Kris and I *grins* until just before New Year when we will have visitors from the UK.

i love christmas but it should fuck off until we put the tree up the 11th

I don't want to hear anything about

christmas

christmas

holiday.

 

[caLLous]

I like mince pies and cake!

 

[Olgaline]

christmas isnt a day, it's a month.


but anything from mid nov and up is fine by me,
although, here at our house, we start around the 1'st od Dec.

 

[Billargh]

Wow, I managed to read the whole thread before I realised you were talking about Christmas and not c*nt. Bad day.

 

[old.user4556]

From mid-Nov onward is fine, it's when you start to see shit at the start of October that takes the complete piss. I used to work in Boots as a student, and we started to get our christmas stock delivered around June. Fucking depressing, made the year feel so much shorter.

 

[Chilly]

im on my pre-christmas holiday so I dont mind all that much. Once Im on my bone fide christmas holiday it'll be even better!

 

[Yoni]

I can understand if you are on your own that the thought of Christmas is a bit bleh as it is associated with family meals, larger gatherings, but it doesn't have to be that way....

If you want / desire company at Christmas hook up with single friends and have Christmas that way or volenteer at a soup kitchen / hospital or go to friends with families for Christmas. I do not know many people who would deliberately leave a friend on their own for Christmas... if they actually wanted company

I for one love a quiet Christmas... yes I can get a little tearful when calling my family but I would be whining like hell if I was there...

My dad phones me about this time every year to ask if i am going round to his on c-day, not to invite me as such, but almost its a 'if you are coming, i'll need to buy more food' kind of conversation

I'll go round there and there i will sit with my brother and dad, watching them glued to the TV cos there will be cricket or something on Sky sports. I will try to make conversation, but it will fall on deaf ears.

Then we will sit down to dinner whilst the pair of them moan at each other about how the broccoli is not cooked, all the time wishing i was in my Jim-Jams at home watching trash on the box

One year i told him i didnt want to come round and my brother got shiity with me cos i had been invited to a friends house for dinner, i actually stayed home. The night b4 i went to Pizza Hut and they were doing a 2 for 1 deal, so i had pizza for dinner on christmas eve and had another one for dinner on christmas day, it was great

Christmas is made out to be a time of putting your feet up and relaxing, when actually its bollocks cos you spend everyday travelling to some place or another to visit someone you haven't seen for a year, and dont really care for either way


Oh and another thing BAH HUMBUG !!!!!

 

[rynnor]

Can I put my Christmas Lights up yet?

They look nice - no giant santas or anything but nice white led lights around my fir trees look great

Brightens up the dark time of the year and I reckon the pagans who invented Yule would be happy with them - amazing how much modern christmas resembles the pagan version (minus the orgy of course).

 

[Edmond]

There used to be an orgy....?

I think we need to bring the more traditional values back to christmas

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Worst thing in the calendar ever.

Closely followed by Easter.

STOP FUCKING FORCING PEOPLE INTO DOING NOTHING.

just goes to show that christmas is just a brand that everyone must buy in to. if you dont, there is apparently somethign wrong with you.

if people think im going to blow all my hard earned cash buying them shit they wont look at again until it goes in the bin, they can think again.

however im all for getting with friends and family, putting on a couple of stone and damaging my liver a little bit more.

 

[tris-]

oh yeh, and easter can go fuck its self with a chocolate coated shit drenched razor blade.

fucking easter eggs all over the damn place and as soon as we past easter day theyre 99% cheaper. what the hell is the fucking point?!

 

[Jupitus]

All of these events are massively over-commercialised now, which does annoy the shit out of me. I don't really get excited about cuntmas any more, but I know the wife and kids do so I'll just keep working up to cuntmas eve and then have a nice dinner, some delicious cheese and port, a drunky game of something or other and beers

 

[tris-]

dont you fucking dare buy a christmas card.

 

[mooSe_]

I only get gifts for immediate family and gf if I happen to have one at the time. Everyone else is lucky to get a card (home made of course, not spending money on that shit).

Cheap chocolate if you don't give a shit for Easter. Bonus!

 

[tris-]

you can hardly call it chocolate though, the typical smarties eggs and those other pieces of bollocks are disgusting.

 

[nath]

You need to lower your standards, guv.

if im going to induce diabetes i want the poison to taste good.

 

[Raven]

I like Christmas. More for its pagan origins though. Gathering with friends and family, reflecting on the year and looking forward to the year ahead.

Fuck the Christian bit and the fact that it starts in October these days.

 

[Tom]

That's nothing. According to the old style calendar (in use in England only 400 years ago) the start of the New Year was 25 March.

This bringing things forward thing has been going on for ages. IT MUST STOP NOW.

 

[Edmond]

That's nothing. According to the old style calendar (in use in England only 400 years ago) the start of the New Year was 25 March.

Hmmmmm, that makes sense, my year end is the end of March, its all falling into place, bit by tiny bit......

 

[Tom]

25 March is also the Catholic Lady Day, which coincides with the start of the tax year (adjusted for lost days)

 

[TdC]

I will do many things for a mince pie



IM SO ASHAMEEEDD
