[Hoboh]

Well we have the lot in government now.
IDS as Caligula.
Osborne as Nero.
Cameron as Pilate washing his hands over the death of people.

On that packet on Minge Pies there, the pie at the front appears to have been filled with cat shit.

It does and all !


I like that putting them out on a table is merely a "serving suggestion".

Say Happy Chrisday. Buy him one present and tell him he's lucky to get that.

Anyway, not your problem, you'll be working, won't you?

Pity them and go 'aaawww' a lot. Bet they'd like that.

I'm in need of some christmas advice.

My older brother is planning on spending it with his girlfriends family. I'm dead against this as they aren't married. Plus, they live together so they could do with not seeing each other for one day. Plus, he's never had christmas anywhere else, the dick.

And?

If he's committed to living with this girl it's obviously serious. Why would he want to spend the day away from his partner?

I presume you're pissed off because he normally comes to you/ your parents? Just have a quiet word about making sure he comes to you next year and that he visits you/ your parents BEFORE eating and drinking too much at the (prospective) in laws.

Oh, I wasn't being serious about that point.

Currently, I plan to just drive down there with my little brother with a big sack, kidnap him and bring him back for Christmas. It's what Santa would have wanted.

Throw a birthday party for them like any other day?

Auntie Claire says:

Stop being an interfering old bat. I'm guessing if he lives with his girlfriend, he's of an age where he can make his own mind up about where to spend Christmas. You could Christmasbomb him by telling him Santa doesn't exist though.

No do a Birthday cake instead (this might of course be full of currents and mixed fruits etc. possibly with a hint of marzipan and icing too! Auntie Claire says:

You're probably more worred about it than they are, as for them, it happens every year...

Wrap their present twice as well. Once in christmas themed wrapping paper, and once in birthday themed. Definitely counts as two presents then.

Nope, it's up to me, I get to decide. I'm in charge of Christmas around here.

The birthday & Christmas cancel each other out, so you celebrate neither.
I suggest you spend the day lying on the sofa watching the Die Hard movies back to back.

Once upon a time it was Wonderful Life on Christmas Day, then A Christmas Carol (in one of its many forms) then several years of Jason and the Argonauts, then several more of Zulu...and now Die Hard? (Mind, you can usually find Wonderful Life, a Scroogy and Miracle on 34th Street if you look hard enough).
