It would'nt have been Christmas for me without me and my brothers winding our mum up to a crescendo when she would finally chuck whatever was to hand at us whilst shouting 'Thats it! Fuck fucking Christmas!!'
Great days.
Miss you Mum x

When I was younger we all used to go to my Nan’s for Xmas dinner, but first the adults would go and get pissed at the Working men’s club. As soon as I was old enough to drink that tradition stopped. To be fair my grandad had passed away a couple of years before and my nan died when I was 19.

Fall (of the leaf) is just something that American usage has preserved. It was commonly used in England until the 17th Century, but ‘autumn’ had arrived from Europe and muscled its way into the language.Tradition. Every tradition in England being Americanised, pisses me right off.
Just waiting for Autumn to be renamed the fall and that's me done.

A lot of American words are just old English, obviously spoken words like aluminium and solder are something our American brethren still can't get their huge veneered teeth around ;)

I’m annoyed they started using Children in Snow White.Taking the kids to watch pantomime dames without feeling uneasy they were being exposed to transgender issues.
The Dwarves are now charging too much to appear the selfish bastards. It’s all Warwick Davis fault.

On the first day of Christmas the Bald fraud give to me
The best team in all the Century.
Twelve dippers jibbing,
Eleven barriers leaping
Foden, Lord in waiting
Nine a Cyborg Viking
Hate Raggies whining
Sven Goran Erikson
Six Swans a thrashing
NO DANNY INGS
Goat Colin Bell
Ffs missing pens
Eddy Golden Gloves
And the best team in all the Century.
I’m off now Merry Christmas all :-)

Anyone remember those little cellophane fish found in crackers that curled up in your hand...or is that just the product of some weird fever dream I've had?My mum would buy the cheapest Christmas crackers in the shop. I remember pulling one and winning a plastic thimble. Fuck knows what i did with it.
