Today I'm neither Angry nor Happy about....

Well, tomorrow I may give the lawn a final cut of the year.

Not a flymo you'd need to cut mine. Hovercraft might do it. Absolutely bogged like a giant sponge. My back garden is at the bottom of the slope of what used to be the old Railway that ran through to St Helen's Road and beyond. Consequently, it gets drowned every time we get a bad spell of wet weather. Just have to wait for a drier spell.

Did mine, Monday...well when I say "I did"....

I can hear the sound of Christmas deccies heading out of the attic....Merry Christmas everyone.

Neighbours over the road did theirs last week. What's that all about?

[TANGODANCER]

Passed another house today on the dog walk. This one had the full regalia, window lights, Christmas tree, fairies, Santa, reindeers and baubles galore. Also, one nearby has a huge bush in the garden covered in fairylights. As has been said, tis but the last day of November as yet.

Simple. It's a religious thing. The Church of Profit and Money

Are they one and the same then? Otherwise which one is it?

What's confusing? Of course they are one and the same. Why miss off the last bit of the post? ie "If anybody is ‘offended’ by something so trivial as a prayer, they deserve to be offended.” Richard Dawkins." I was neither agreeing or disagreeing with anyone, just as baffled as Pru, which he noted. Churches of any denomination need money to survive and the money comes from "customers" if you will. My point, like Prus, was not understanding the fuss.

I suspect dawkins has clumsily seized the wrong end of a stick... as far as I can see - the issue isn't really anything at all to do with anyone being or not being offended, but, rather, about an advertising agency/clearing house (whatever they are) holding to its clearly stated policy of not showing adverts of a political or religious nature.

You may wish to quote Dawkins - personally I'd rather shit into my hands and start clapping in preference.

blimey - really??

when did this association of christmas with 1st december (not that we're even at 1st december yet!) happen???

if i had my way - christmas starts at midnight on christmas eve

granted I may have to be more flexible than that - then I'd accept decorations up 2 weeks (at MOST) before christmas day...

but - NOVEMBER????

by all means nput your advent calendar up - or your fire-hazard blue-peter tinsel coathanger advent candles if you really want summat to do!

Bah humbug.

I agree though I think you've got to give folk December. 1st December (whilst too early in my book) is fair game.

Shops have had Christmas stuff up for a long while now.

[bobo the clown]

The C word shall not be uttered until December. Though my cards and presents get sorted from about the 19th I can cope with others from the 1st. However, I now start the annual battle NOT to hear "those" Goddam' songs.

See, you're humming it now...

Just baffled at some people's stupidity. Asda car park, woman trying to reverse out of a parking space, obviously needs a bit of room, so bloke in the main lane (one way) drives up two feet behind her despite her having reversing lights on.
Next bloke come chundling round the corner to two feet from first bloke, then a third. Meanwhile, the woman hasn't room to get out, rest can't back up. Solution, in the very best car park tradition: Blow your horn and shout, etc etc...

This is why I ALWAYS reverse into parking spaces. Stops the Cockwombles from being, well Cockwombles.

Doesn't stop the bastards who don't from hitting my car when they reverse out (before driving off without reporing it), which has happened twice now.

That happened to me twice recently as well. I just leave it because my car is an ageing bomb with bits falling off it and 174k on the clock. One of the benefits of driving a banger is that you don't give a shit!

Mine's a company car.

Included in a Sainsbury's basics post Christmas shop I finally, after about 5years, took my bag, bottles and tubs of shrapnel to the machine. I poured what turned out to be £72 of 1p, 2p & 5p coins for a good 10 minutes.

But not before the bag containing it, 2 bottles and a tube WITH the coins still in, fell off a small shelf & onto the bridge of my right foot.

In case you're wondering, that's bloody heavy & the outcome is bloody sore.
