General ranting not politics related

[Hertsscot]

Wife dragged me into New Look in Stirling on Monday. In store they were playing, 'Do you hear what I hear?' Christmas music in mid October. Okay Sainsbury's have got Christmas ranges in and one of my local charity shops has had Christmas cards in since the end of August but even so. I just felt sorry for the staff who I thought were going to have to put up with two months if Christmas music 

Thankfully the next song didn't appear Christmas related.

the worlds gone mad.  If nobody went out and bought Xmas tat until December that would put a stop to it.

My wife kicked me out of bed this morning to get wee lass's breakfast ready and to turn the heating on an hour. 

She gets up with the house toasty then flings open the back door like I'm Louis the fucking 16th because the dog has farted then genuinely huffs when I'm annoyed.

I've wasted approximately a fiver on heating, the house is colder than when I got up, I was annoyed sufficiently I'm more likely to see the Christmas tree before her vagina again and the dog's arse really does stink!

This is why a like function shed be installed. No need for down votes but the like function would be a good addition.

Could I  ask which Christmas you are referring to, just as a gauge ?

He probably means the second cumming of Christ, which according to a certain Canadian poster is penciled in for around 2049.

Back on topic. 'samP' (aye right|) has got the hump you called him a nonce.

Did you even get a warning for that? 😀

SamP IS a nonce. Fact.

I think it was Kirk who called him a nonce.

😀 No thanks. It always, every time, ends badly.

I don't know if you have noticed but there are too many mad people attracted to this board for anything like that to be used properly. Look at the recurring troll posters. It is difficult to stop if people are determined.

I am more than a little suspicious we have some multiple id's on the go, that was definitely happening last time the like/dislike buttons were activated, as well as previously banned folk coming back over and over. No criticism of the mods. I couldn't be arsed either, these folk are borderline mad, they are like a mental energizer bunnies that never stop.

Speaking of which, haven't seen anything from Ramy or SamP for a few days.  Banned?  I mean Celtic won at the weekend and I don't think Ramy posted so if he's not banned can we send the Mounties round to check on him?!

Concerts: whole list 

People who chat all the way through a gig. People who go to the front and then just stand there, no clapping, no singing, no dancing, just stand there, killing any atmosphere. People who can't get through a gig without constantly having to go to the bar. People who view the whole gig through their mobile phone.

Some of that makes me think of people who attend certain events just to say they were there even though they have little or no actual interest.

Some (but not all) of the people queuing up for QE2s coffin made me think of that too.

I alway thought it was particularly bad when I would go to the O2 in London. You got the feeling that some people were just on a night out rather than having any interest in the band who was actually playing.
