    I'd sooner fly to Canada and put 50 bucks towards sharing a hooker with Socal.

    @PAG - I also think that the singer (in the vid you posted) is a Filipina. She said "thank you so much" at the end of the song - which is common among many Filipinos. (I don't. I think it's too Hollywood-ish/ plastic). Re: the singer, she's good but not great. (or maybe I'm spoiled for choice bcos there are so many good singers in PH).

    Cheers! Will probably zumba to Mariah's song on Sept 1st.

    First world problems, eh? Complaining that Christmas on Koh Chang just isn't the same.
    We're probably going in the caravan again and then a "Xmas dinner" at a posh restaurant nearby.

    It's easier while she's a kid. Wake up early and start drinking while she opens her presents. Then keep drinking while she plays with them. Pint of Bailey's, dinner and back home for a nap while James Bond is in the tele

    You forgot the fishing, snake catching and the gardener dressed as a sexy Santa's elf.

    In Australia pubs are closed Xmas day or have limited trading hours and you usually have to order a meal to get served alcohol. Liquor stores and drive through bottlos are closed to, so if you've been over serving yourself on Xmas eve and either forgot to buy sufficient takeaways or remembered to buy them but drank them . Your Fucked.

    When the daughter was young we used to visit the UK every year between around 28th December and beginning of January. I enjoyed the run-up to Christmas while the daughter still believed in Santa, and all that, we would catch a pantomime, watch a few Christmas movies, pit a tree up and do the Christmas Eve thing.

    But, once Christmas Day has come and gone, we would have another 10 days or so in shite weather so I'd be confined indoors with not only my English family but the wife as well. I was glad once the daughter stopped believing in Santa which gave me a good excuse to start visiting the UK in the summer instead.

    Christmas means little to me and New Year even less. This year I hope to work through it, although I may take Christmas Day and Boxing Day off just to be sociable.

    But if anyone wants to gouge on some peas and pin a crotchless pair of panties on the gardener, then you're more than welcome.

    Same here, but there are always house parties to go to if you aren't already pissed enough.

    They've started putting the pub adverts up around here for their Xmas Dinners but none of those Xmas dinners are available on Xmas Day which I find a tad retarded..although their staff will wanna go home and enjoy Xmas too.

    Only one of those includes a day off mate. Guy Fawkes is that a paid "off day"?

    TTTL has started her crimbo decos early with a bathroom angel

    Christmas-20230829_145722-jpg

    The safety glass in the shower really dates the place. I have not seen wired safety glass for a shower in many's the long year

    Christmas-20230829_145742-jpg

    I found that these feet steps are just the ticket to give yourself more of a jungle squat posture when you're a bit bunged up. I might invest in a set.

    Yeah, but it's still limited hours, innit?

    A couple of hours in the afternoon and then a cheeky knock on the back door at night if you're lucky.

    Come on Dil. Those other holidays do not include mass consumerism. They are just stupid Holidays, except Thanksgiving. Christmas has become stupid. Starts with Christmas displays in August everywhere so people starting buying crap.

    That's even worse. They are all a motive to get folk to spunk their hard earned
