I've had a beer and been reading YouTube comments , why do I do that, it is such a stupid thing to do. I've not had a beer and I have been reading comments on the Guardian. The comments are just as dim-witted and I don't have any alcohol to help. 2-1 to me in the stupidity stakes. That sounds like a challenge, can I be more stupid than Shenguin? |

Not in Tapatalk on my tablet there isn't. On the plus side though it opens at the first unread post, saving me from having to see this drivel more than once. |

Yes bloggers! Bloggie coming at you from his mum's house. Doing our annual "all meet up before Xmas lights come down" event. I have been here briefly and already have the urge to kill. Downloaded and tried Steep, I've written it off as a game for simpletons. Not just because I'm bad at it and crankcaller has beaten me on every event so far.. Bastard. It doesn't actually seem that bad, but think I prefer the old SSX games. That is all. |

The neighbour already took down their lights yesterday. Before the twelve days of Christmas are up! When I finally manage to put up decorations last minute I want to leave them for as long as is decent.

Our tree was dumped at the local park yesterday.
It's alright, the council set up a special area for it. I'm not fly-tipping.

The neighbour already took down their lights yesterday. Before the twelve days of Christmas are up! When I finally manage to put up decorations last minute I want to leave them for as long as is decent. In olden times the decorations would go up on Christmas Eve and, in protestant England, be taken down on Twelfth Night because we mustn't enjoy ourselves; oh no, we must work hard, give a tithe, be miserable, wear plain, shitty clothes and save so we can be deserving of heaven. In some RC countries festivities carry on through Epiphany.. Shrove Tuesday - as protestants call it (a few miserable pancakes) or Fat Tuesday aka Mardi Gras aka (in Italy Martedì Grasso). In the latter it's the main day of Carnival along with the Thursday before, called Giovedí Grasso (Fat Thursday), which starts the celebrations. Buckling down to work mid-late February is probably why the Italians are fat, colourful, happy, relaxed and poor, while we get richer by getting back to it on the 6th January spending that month and Feb. in grey clothes, under grey skies, stressed out, miserably working our metaphorical bollocks off. Err, remind me, why are we superior? |

I'm going to wait a bit later then I'll go and dump my tree somewhere. Probably a neighbours garden or the special needs school round the corner.

Our plastic tree will be taken down on Sunday, because it is pleasant to have the decorations around and is the easiest time to do it

Back on my mum's island we pile up the old Christmas trees for a bonfire to keep the local pyromaniacs happy. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BiikebrennenIt's a nice tradition. One stands around with a burning torch as if one were part of the mob storming Frankenstein's castle, humming along to songs in the local language that one doesn't know the words for until one's feet are frozen solid. Then one goes somewhere warm and consumes a lot of kale and smoked sausages, washed down by beer and schnapps. The day of the biike used to be when the whaling season started and the bonfires along the coast were lit so that they could be seen from the ships bound for the waters of Greenland. Back on the island the next day there's partying and dancing, i.e. once the men were safely out of the way... |

Chumbles always has good wee historical facts.
Our tree came down this morning. I was Instructed to do so by Mrs Crank. Hopefully the child won't remember there were 4 chocolate decorations still to be snarfled. As I err, snarfled them. I'll sort the chrimbo avatar tomorrow.
Possibly more Steep later. The powered wing suits are new since I last played it.

Err, remind me, why are we superior? Create an account on followfollow.com and ask there. I'm sure plenty of folk will be happy to answer your query at great length. Day 2 of nae boiler for me. The guy that came to look at it yesterday didn't contact me all day then sent me a message at 6 to say he couldn't get the fan off the shelf and had left his phone at home. Do people still do that? So, I've ordered the fan and am away for the weekend. He'll fit it on Monday and we'll find out if that's the problem or if the control board I had replaced last year is also knackered. Anyway, I've stupidly made pizza dough forgetting the temperature is too low to prove it and have it sitting by the tiny heater struggling to heat my house while I play Final Fantasy 9 for the first time. |

We’ve been having cat issues.
George has been losing weight, lethargic and and throwing up. Thought it might be worms but he didn’t improve using the tablets.
Took him to the vet on Wednesday- only to get a possibly cancer diagnosis- blood tests and today a biopsy and ultrasound.
George came back today and it appears more likely to be Irritable Bowel, but we’re still waiting for the biopsy results for the all clear.
Total cost so far £1000.
I should have got the insurance.
It’s been really upsetting seeing him so poorly, he’s sat on my lap now while we watch Age Of Ultron.
