Like a bad language warning.

Except Baby, I hope you’ve got coal.

Good Morning and a Happy Christmas to all.
I'm wearing an actual bow tie today, a red one and Micky and Minnie mouse braces.
Heck why not it's Xmas after all.

This mornings zoom call with my folks had lasted about 15 seconds before they started on about brexit. Happy fucking days.
On the plus side, faceless jnr now has all the Mario lego, which means I now have all the Mario lego.

I have received Ass Vikings for Christmas. I can't wait to start slaughtering those Mercians. Ass vikings is top stuff. Takes a while to get to England mind. Perhaps a metaphor for... Merry holidays! We’ve not put up any decorations, haven’t exchanged presents and are having mushroom and tomato soup for lunch. Top banana. Having helped virtually quicken the destruction of our ecosystem in Dirt 5 this morning, am planning on taking Mario Kart for a spin on the massive 50” 4K UHD TV later, if I can get the switch chonker hooked up to it. All the festive traditions. |

I’d try and do the Viking land stuff quickly at the start as it only opens up once you get to England. Perhaps a metaphor for... Merry holidays!

Some cunt handed me a bloody Mary within about 15 minutes of me getting up.
Then I was forced to eat a solid breakfast on top of that. Shit fucking idea.
I want to go back to bed. Fuck you world.

I bought myself a present of a couple of decent speakers* and tried to set them up; 90m later I decided that I am not spending the rest of Xmas doing that. Bums. But I needed desktop stands and isolation pads for them anyway so these cheapo standbys will have to wait. The problem rests with trying to get the Xonar D2X to see them; it's a brilliant card, but it is a nightmare to get it to pass the sound through - it shows itself passing the signal to the speakers, but zilch from the speakers, which I know work ... Time for lunch and a snooze - Lord of the Rings is cancelled ... *This be the new boys: |

Happy Christmas you bunch of beautiful bastards X
No aftershave, and 5 assorted bottles of single malts. Oh and socks.
Turkey will be unwrapped shortly and drained for unctuous gravy prep. Dog is fat and happy after trimmings breakfast. Will attempt a family video call later for the first time ever.

You're all eating, aren't you?
Merry Christmas you lot, after a slightly dodgy pizza last night I just took a long walk along Hove seafront, absolutely packed. Barbecues? Barbecues. Time to get cooking..

Merry 🎄 Christmas, Chatterbox!*
I for one am not spending Christmas Day slaving in the kitchen over a hot, but still not cooked through, turkey.
Instead I've been spending Christmas on the phone. Long story short, Mr Tent Rooster was supposed to be transferred to a rehab clinic to get the physiotherapy he needs to get back on his feet so that he can come home. He phoned me today to say that transport today had fallen through (unsurprisingly, since it's Xmas) but will hopefully take place tomorrow. Naturally he's keen on escaping from that place because, as one of the doctors so charmingly put it, he's "a sitting duck for lung infection" for as long as he stays there.
Last night it I learnt that his sister had sent him a Xmas parcel by Jeff Mail which she had addressed to a non-existent hospital ward because she had confused the room number with the ward number. So I had to spend even more time on the phone to find out what happened to it after arguing with her for a while over what number to call and whether to make this someone else's problem. In the end I made the right call and found out that the hospital's mail office is closed over the Bank Holiday anyway and that they just consult their database to figure out where a patient is and then forward the mail. I could have done without this. She's amazing and generous, but personally I always tell people when to expect a parcel from me because I know that not everyone is into surprises. She also sent me a Xmas parcel that arrived on Wednesday morning when it was bucketing down, and the poor postman had to stand and wait in the rain while I was hastily rearranging my garments after coming off the loo.
Xmas gaming: Yesterday I had a successful Toy Day in Animal Crossing, alternating between being dressed as Santa, a Christmas tree and a reindeer. Crossed off the achievement of building 10 perfect Snowboys. Who wants to touch me? Now I just need to roll another ten. Also this blessed Christmas morning I sold my neeps for 463 Bells. Maybe it's better if we maintain social distancing, okay?
*It's a little known fact that a collective of nerds is known as a box.

Being grumpy is too much effort, especially when reading Tent's posts.
Happy Christmas Tent. I hope he's ok and home really soon.

Just watching it now.
I thought Bert's accent was poor but now I'm thinking 'London was and is a linguistic melting pot.' He could have spoken like that.
Within the fictitious world. I mean it's not as egregious as at first it might seem.
