Seconded, and I'd like to nominate Catcher In The Rye as well.Quote:

Christmas - the whole thing from start to finish is a colossal waste of time, energy, money and is a giant pain in the gulags from early november
There are no redeemable features - and yes I am a parent and no, the look on their faces is a false joy and lasts 15 seconds.
Steady on scrooge. Xmas starts a chain of enjoyable events such as the pub on Stephens' Day!Quote:

Well, allow me to retort - the pub on stephens day is not an event; it is a nascent location on a given random date on the calendar and is no different to a miserable tuesday in march, apart from the football and racing on, and loads of people off work - none of which has anything to do with christmas - it could be a busy saturdayQuote:

I don't really mind Christmas either way but St. Stephen's Day is the one day in the year when you run into every gobsh1te in the pub that's home for Christmas etc and that you wouldn't care if you never saw again in your life!! Questions like "And what are you up to with yourself these days???"........etc etc, very tedious, and the only solution sadly is to drink more!!;)Quote:

80's nights, they're not ironic, they're not great fun, they're a waste of time.
