Random Irritations

Guinness is the answer.
I never feel rough if I stick to Guinness.
Staropramen on the other hand

I avoid Kronenbourg (sp?) for this reason.

And they both fell asleep.

Sonic 3, I had to explain what they'd missed in the car home.

Some people do treat this forum like their own Facebook pages

When it comes to pictures of family etc I don’t think a public accessible forum is the best place . With Facebook etc you can limit who can see those pics etc but this forum , it’s open to everyone even without registering etc - don’t think it’s the smartest move

No. Not what I was saying.
I was musing over the white lies that we tell our children to control their behaviour and comparing it to adult behaviour of telling lies to control and manipulate each other.
I asked at what point we teach them that the thing we've been doing to them is actually bad.
Then I inferred that a few months when our culture celebrates virgin birth, miracles and reanimation of the dead probably isn't the time.
I was being light, but I sound like a massive party pooper when required to explain it, which wasn't the plan. I actually like christmas.

I thknk its more that as Christmas gets closer, and decorations become abundant, younger kids get more excited and the best way to temper the over excitment with the threat of "no visit if..." can help. It's not hurtful or harmful and something they normally understand.

"Be nice to your sister or I'm putting that bear trap on the roof next to the chimney. It's on you."
That kind of thing?

Possibly...or so it would seem some might

The PIR sensor up in the corner of the lounge helps. “It’s flashing red. He’s listening.”

We definitely use the smoke alarm as santas camera to keep an eye on the kids, it definitely works with our 5 year old.

Buddy the elf even wrote her a note one morning this December to tell her that her behaviour the previous night was not acceptable and a repeat would see him going back to the north pole and telling Santa not to bother visiting our house this year.

Our alarm sensors work all year round as cameras for mum to see what your doing if she's out the room.

Santa gets access in December

With the Mrs being a Senco in a school our elf only demonstrates good behaviour

My drive up the M6 today has done nothing to alleviate my feelings that everyone should have to retake a driving test every 5 years....
How we made it up here in one piece I'm really not sure.....

Did you get stuck in the jam in The Lakes? 90 minutes without moving due to an accident. Hopefully no one too badly hurt. Grey and rainy all the way home. Add in busy traffic, no fun.

Fortunately only as far up as the M56...that was more than enough..

I spoke to my two through the Alexa from another room, as the elf, they soon sat down and behaved....for 5 mins.

Probably didn’t help when Chris Rea came on the radio singing Driving home for Christmas

I have turned my car radio off for a week.
Christmas songs are irritating.
