I quite like Stop the Cavalry, but I only want to hear it once a year. Same with the other 70s Xmas hits - Slade, Elton, Shakey, Rea, Live Aid, Lennon, Waitresses, Lake, etc. Once only, preferably on Xmas Eve. It's one of the many reasons why I avoid radio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted December 13, 2022 Moderator Share Posted December 13, 2022 Well it took 'til the 13th but I finally feel Christmassy today. Up go the decorations and let the wrapping commence. Big weekend of catch-up coming up, but it's all good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted December 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 13, 2022 Working in a shop at Christmas will destroy your desire to hear much Christmas music. A month of the same hour of music over and over. I think it's the main reason I now like some weirder Christmas songs - I didn't listen to Steeleye Span's Gaudete 8 times a day for a month, for instance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Our extension still not complete, builder has promised by the end of the week, which is great ( 6 weeks late) but Kitchen fitter has finished till new year so dont help really with no where to cook, so we are not feeling the spirit. Managed to move stuff back into the shell to at least have space to put up a few decorations and the tree up for our 7 year old, Mrs is Fuming, she's not the only one, Im just snapping at everything the builder asks now an who can blame me. If we knew, we just would have booked Christmas Dinner at the local, no way I'm going to my parents which has been suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tree also had 2 legs instead of 3 on its stand, for some reason, so it was slightly leant against the wall of the corner it was in. I may as well have not bothered. And since then I haven't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted December 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 16, 2022 A house round the corner from me has a series of large, gaudy outdoor decorations. They're all pretty unusual, not the usual kind of things you see about. I've no idea where they got them from. But the main piece is on tip of their flat roof garage. It's a massive, and I mean MASSIVE Christmas Bauble. It doesn't look inflatable, I'm pretty sure it's solid - maybe it splits in half for storage or something. They've also got a very large Christmas tree which looks like it's make of Perspex sheets or something. Not been past at night yet to know if they all light up but you would think so. Anyway, it's all very unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Scratch cards are a good last minute prezzie, according to there repetitive advert on the radio. Personally I really don't think they are, unless it's a random you feel you need to buy for. I'd be pissed if someone (enter expletive here) bought me a scratch card for Christmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything in the world more desperate then a scratch card? Cant you just tell the person whether they have won money or not upfront rather than have them standing there in the shop shaving away at a piece of card with a 2p coin.

When I was in my teens scratch cards were relatively new. One of the breweries ran a competition where every pint you bought came with a scratchcard. You could scratch one box off from a choice of about 30 and win a free pint and another scratchcard. Someone realised that if you held the card in front of a light you could see the winning text. I remember going to the local pub with a couple of quid and a torch. I don't remember much else.
