    Why the fcuk does it turn eight into a stupid face? Also, why does this phone keep turning “eight” into “right”?

    A rant-tastic xmas eve.

    Right, family visiting when they're ill! I don't farking want your germs! Fark off.
    Wife stressing about cooking xmas food, get in the kitchen, stay in the kitchen and appear to tell us it's ready. And make sure you keep my glass topped up.
    It's my telly and we'll watch what i farking want to watch.

    Etc etc.

    Any news from officer Mule yet?
    Someone said he didn't finish training, we're guessing his plan failed and they found the bodies.
    Good ranting bird, have a great Christmas. I'm hiding from the telly as the EPO and daughter have the remotes. Lad just called, had stopped for lunch so gave us a quick call before going back to chasing cows around fields on a dirt bike. He gets paid to do this, but unlike bird he doesn't make a habit of fisting them. I must confess, in spite of the vast reduction in food bills I do miss the little sh!t at times.

    No sign of Mule, not even a Christmas special appearance.

    Just finished shelling some horse chestnuts and now I'm going to have a good doss and make a big dent in this bottle of plonk.

    Happy Christmas gusset stains,

    Foods, boozes, more foods and a lot more boozes here and a distinct lack of celebrities dying. Having to watch some garbage on tv but that's xmas i suppose!

    Hope you enjoyed the contents of that old white haired blokes sack and hope santa was good to you!

    Afternoon Festive Gimps,

    Done all the dog walking and phoning up the rellies who thankfully can't be here. Currently stewing up some Turkey n stuff in the kitchen while making a start on the plonk. We eat late here then go straight to the evening drinking and monging in front of the telly :)

    May have to do some exercise tomorrow!

    Evening unwanted gifts,
    Pretty good day has been had, now avoiding the shite that the females of the house are watching on the tellybox. Currently Call the Midwide I believe. Good day has been had, ate loads, didn't punch the bro in law and now drinking beer.
    Also need to do some exercise tomorrow.

    Afternoon sk1dmarks,

    Still suffering yesterdays over indulgence but didn't over do the booze so that's back on the menu now!

    Hope you're all suffering as well.

    Toodles.

    Evenin' All,

    Bit of a lazy day with a good lie in. Unfortunately the highlight of the day was visiting a cemetary, so hoping for a bit more action tomorrow. Now lazing in front of the box watching Jurassic World.

    Mongin felchers,
    Another lazy day beckons. Wet and windy out this morning so another cup of tea is in order. Might go for another walk later, this is the type of walk that involves actually walking. Got to try the new bars on the Cotic at some point.

    Morning Rubberneckers,

    Only got up at 9.30 so a good start to the day. Muttley has learned to cross his legs on a morning fortunately. As the weather is so crap and sleety I volunteered the wife to take Muttley for his morning walk, so I get to enjoy my coffee in peace while Stropteen carries on sleeping. Win win :)

    This afternoon is the trip to the in-laws near Windsor which means I'll be driving so no booze till we get home again. On the plus side they aren't total tossers and the food is usually very good.

    Less of the coffin dodging, not like I'm as old as V68!

    Afternoon tw@s,

    Lovely lunch in a lovely French country restaurant, five courses, big bottle of red and only €17 each. Now it's time for a snooze.

    More booze in a while!

    Toodles.

    Afternoon Gimps,

    Shifted a load of rubbish and garden waste at the 'rents house and am now enjoying a bacon sarnie at the old folks home. It also masks the smell of p1ss.

    Will go for a run later and then settle down in front of the box with some grog. Tesco are selling 750ml bottles of 7.5% abv Merrydown :)

    Evening bumders

    Work was shit. Riding bikes was windy and shit, turns out living on the coast has some downsides.

    As a result of all the shiteness I’ve bought a new bike to cheer myself up, I wish I was more normal and would just go out and get H’d.

    No, you're much older :lol:

    Had another day of much lounging. Dropped the girl child off to go up to London with some friends then went to see the 'rents. They were pretty well considering they are even older than bg. I took advantage of going today as the skin and her idiot husband were out. Left my lad's MTB there for my nephew to use, not sure if he will though. Then spent the afternoon watching Game of Thrones with the Mrs.
    Not seen it yet, apparently they are expecting a hard winter. Lots of thrup's and a fair bit of incest going on though.

    Spent most of the afternoon driving back to the tropical paradise of Bromley, but not before loading up on bacon sardines including some for the car :) When I got home the girls announced they wanted some Turkish take away so I'm now feeling like Mr. Creosote off that Monty Python film.
