henry21p Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Parents arguing over which one of them I am going to see this year (THANK GOD I'M NOT MARRIED and have spare sets to contend with as well. One grandmother has disowned me for not going to visit her over christmas AND TO TOP IT ALL - thy're all arguing I mean - thanks for the thought guys - but think you've got it all wrong!!!! AAAAARGH. Going to hibernate somewhere for the next 2 months and not come out. Commercial nasty cheap plastic mcdonalds christmas. mutter. Whatever happened to happy families over the christmas dinner table and leaving the kids to enjoy playing in the cardboard boxes of whatever you bought them whilst enjoying a nice glass of port with the cheeseboard, followed by country walk in brisk air for everyone and back in the afternoon for the family movie - grandpa snoozing in his armchair....

henry21p Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 What - get my parents in the same room at the same time? ANd turn the west midlands into a replica of Fallujah? Besides - I wouldn't wish that on my dear old landlady! Anyone own a secluded cottage in the wilderness that I can take a F&M hamper up to, light the fire and pig out for 2 weeks?

henry21p Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 Sounds like a plan. PI*8ed up partying for xmas in the sheds. woohoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry21p Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 update from my pa - he has been instructed that he will be with his in-laws for christmas. Which means 8 people in a one bedroom retirement flat. Which means can't stay there. Which means no drinking..... I have a LITTLE sympathy for him - though last year managed 1000 miles in the 4 festive days and no drinking. and the year b4 and the year b4 and the year b4.... Now trying to wheedle out of the other half of the family gathering... Will send my love via MSN on the day maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delbert Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Dave, Perhaps we could share the driving.. for the last 3 years the agenda has been 25th to Cambridge just late enough to miss food but to early for hostility from ex. return Delberta to Swadlincote. 26th drive to Bideford, try and sneek a bottle but more than one involves a long silence 28th Bideford to Ely for tea with Ex mother in law, a friendly Geordie who only threatened me with a carving knife once, then return to Swadlincote. 29th might geta chance for a drink ❗ Roll on January then at least half the national grid will not be being sucked into daft, tastless gawdy lights that illuminate my bedrooms Too Old to die Young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delbert Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 And further more for all this effort my presants recieved totaled 2 yes count them 2 a silk tie worse than the one I exhibited the other night and a corkscrew , just what an alcoholic needs as if I don't have spares in every room ❗ Yes I know Christmas is the exact opposite to oral sex It is better to give than recieve (presants that is) (for the slower ones here Think about it) Too Old to die Young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry21p Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 Delbert - if you have a spare evening at christmas how about the two of us crack open a large bottle of port, light some fine cigars and have a fine selection of the world's cheeses to munch through....
