'Fire in his belly' - very apt

I hope 2017 is as successful as 2016 was for him Vam.

Here's the 25 things that annoy Scottish People the most during the Festive Season.

I imagine those things get on most people's nerves.

Regarding #9....

We got given an engraved glass fruit-bowl as a wedding present.

It stayed in the box for a couple of years and then we decided to re-gift it to somebody one year, for christmas.

A few days later we were at that person's house for a new-year's party and the fruit-bowl had pride of place on their coffee table.
It was only then that I noticed our initials were subtly integrated into the pattern engraved on the bowl.

Fortunately, it was very subtle and nobody else seemed to notice and then, a couple of days later, their dog knocked the bowl off the table and that was the end of that.

I hope you gave the dog a treat for helping you out Si.

Children make Xmas amazing.

*sigh*

Used to have a fun tradition of baby-sitting various family members' kids at xmas, playing games and watching movies etc.

One of those kids has just turned 17, got a job at a local hotel and managed to reduce my sister-in-law to tears last night by ripping into her during my SIL's staff party.
Missus has just had to go around and try to broker a peace-deal between the warring factions.

Times change.

Aye times certainly do change.

We used to spend every Christmas with my mum's sister and her family.

However we won't be spending it with them this year.

My mum and her sister have fallen out and haven't spoken for months and then her daughter fell out with me and my brother.

My mum and her sister have a brother but he can't act as a peacemaker, because he spoken to the sister for about 30 years.

Families are great!!

This is very sad.

I can't empathise though as none of my relatives, or me, have ever fallen out with each other.

I never hold grudges, if someone upsets me I have it out with them on the spot, then kiss and make up.

I have excluded non relatives however when they make a complete nuisance of themselves.

This thread deserves some of my DS positivity.

Christmas time.

Misery and whine.

Little brats screaming - give me what's mine!

Some logs on the pyre, a noose for the tree.

Time to despair at the bills that we see.

Don't you ever get tired of spreading your misery and shitting on everyone trying their hardest to be positive?

You haven't a clue who I am. For all you know you've just called your unrequited love a cunt.
You don't annoy me either, I close the tab and you're gone. However I do feel sorry for anyone struggling at Christmas, with bereavement, or illness or whatever (someone posted earlier about it in another thread) and trying their hardest to be positive and everywhere they go to post there you are whining
no wonder it's unrequited

You haven't a clue who I am - because I am a cowardly little troll cunt who follows you around and tries to get a response because I have nothing else in my life

I agree.

You know absloutely nothing about me at all - thank God.

The feeding is over for the night though - carry on.

It's heartening to see someone spreading good cheer and sympathy in these uncertain times, your empathy really chokes me up, sniff.

Why not save your disprobation for the bloke who has done his best for weeks to depress everyone.
Anywhere there's someone trying to be positive there he pops up with his desperate whining for attention.

A woman in Australia got a surprise when she noticed this "Tinsel" in her tree!!

It was infact a deadly snake.
