Random Irritations

Just been through a width restriction outside pinewood studios. Ridiculously narrow. One of those ones with 4 posts. It doesn't help that my car is 6ft 2 wide. I went through very slowly!
 
Getting old.

We've just done 10 days back in the UK visiting family dotted around the UK. The schedule was as follows; day 1 travel, day 2 shop for presents for child #1 and o out for a slap up evening meal with them, day 3 travel to next child and repeat. Day 5 travel and repeat, day 7 travel and repeat, day 10 travel home.

We've arrived back in Spain late last night absolutely knackered. Feeling old this morning, and have to go out on a supermarket run.

Phone for a curry. Oh hang on :ROFLMAO:
 
Ok, I'm going to say it.
Christmas.
It's a pain
People lose their minds, spend vast amounts of money they don't have on stupid items to give to people they don't really like. Then spend days gorging on fatty food and drinking oceans of booze. And then wonder why the bank is tapping it's fingers at you..
It's fast becoming a time of year that I can't wait to be over.
If you're a kid or you've got kids then it's great but these days I can take or, preferably, leave it.
Call me what you like, using feeling it and roll on January.
Bah bloody Humbug(n)

Buying presents that people don't want, for people that you don't like, using money that you don't have.

Bah Humbug (again)
 
1. Two perfectly healthy and fit 20 somethings smiling at me whilst I stand on the bus to the airport with a broken foot.... Neither of them offered a seat but when I asked squeezed up against the window and offered me around 4 inches of seat to perch on.

2. People on planes that stand up the instant the plane has landed, despite the seat belt sign being on still. I took great pleasure in leaving the airport with all my suitcases whilst they were still stood waiting for theirs.
 
Whose forcing you to do it?

Im my case, luckily, nobody. It was more a general comment.

Far too many people going into debt to buy a bunch of tat that people wouldn't buy themselves, or will get bored of before the wrapping paper is in the bin. And seeing the way some of my acquaintances and relatives feel duty-bound to buy presents for almost everyone they know.

I love seeing my family at Christmas as I don't see them often enough through-out the year. I just hate the forced commercial side of it.
