I hate Christmas.

So many people trying to make you believe something they are not.

Relations turning up and boring you to death,crap tv, religion forced down your throat,no shops open, but worst OF ALL no pubs open to go to.

My little village as seen 3 pubs close in the last 18 months, thats all of them, but their is the local Tory club so it came to 2 pm and my mouth was watering salavateing at the prospect of a real hand pulled pint of John Smiths and a bag of pork scratchings.

Anyway I set off thinking no more canned rubbish for me. I could smell the beer in the air it smelt grand.

Anyway i got to the door and no lights on and door shut. i thought to myself what the F is going on here.

I then looked to my right and a message said open again at 3pm Friday.

I could'nt believe it i was shattered.

JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU CANT TRUST THE TORIES.

He is too miserable to be on here.

His family have probably put him back in his kennel.

you must surely be amazed at how wrong you are yet again - though we all know that are consistently so
was driving back from b-on-a and am now going to buy a few groceries and catch up on some biz corres

The very mention of a kennel and who should appear a mere 13 minutes later but that old mutt himself... Alf -):

i must be barking indeed :-)

Yes, but some around you are groaning!

Have you notice!


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

if it's you, i hope it is severe pain

All I can say is - thank God that is over for another year. Driving back after spending four days with friends over Christmas, one of my dogs was sick three times in the back of the car. It's going to cost me a few quid to get it professionally valeted to get rid of the smell!

are your friends still friends - that's the important bit

I'm not sure about the friend who owns the car - new car, four months old - not good cynic!

cynic

Am waiting for my long overdue present for this year, Afren @ 170p , nearly there 169.90 high today so far.

pressie from whom?
i've been in AFR on and off for quite a number of years .... by chance, i play golf with one of the directors from time to time

cynic

Not very good golfer's those Nigerian's , but very good traffic warden's.

Did you get any insider info from him about the Turkish / Kurdish pipeline ?

no ... he's away at the moment and certainly i wouldn't dream of asking him for inside info

... Put away more like.

tosser stan :-)

Manuel couldn't put a toffee!
