Mornin' sleep021

Morning Barman. An unexpected gift for Christmas, a headache, and it wasn't even self-inflicted. Just enjoying my first coffee (with Ibuprofen) of the day and it's occurred to me, if Whittards don't sort out their "little" problem, I'm going to have to find a different supplier for my Pico Duarte

Just had my first piss boiling moment....
Switched on the telly (BBC Breakfast)...
"This is what your Xmas dinner should look like" (picture of turkey and pud), "later on we'll be giving safety tips about handling raw meat, etc."

Last time I said that was March 1989
I'd been for a job interview (the same job I have now) and stopped overnight at my Uncles pub in Devizes. I didn't have to pay for a drink and mum always said, "owt for nowt, take two", so I did lol:. The Mrs (the same one I have now) had to drive me back. I was literally hung over for a week. It really was the defining never again moment

Been bringing in logs, lighting a huge fire and putting back fallen decorations before the hoards arrive.
Blu-tack is shite. It won't stick decorations but you still can't get it all off the ceiling.

What's it all about ey then ey?
20/30 years ago I could drink and get as drunk as a skunk, sleep all night from 4:00am 'til 7:00am, then get up, have a coffee or two and feel just fine. confused:
Now, have even a sniff of a single malt, and I'm staggering around, acting the goat, up all night gushing in the wardrobe, and have a banging head for a month.
Never again. noooo:....again.

I can vouch for that too. Stuck a banner in the back window of me off roader to attract some sales, and it fell off at the first corner. ::)
Yes, it IS actually made out of shite, blue shite. evil:

So when do we set up the Pub's swap shop for unwanted / undesirable gifts?

A joke T shirt noooo:- all swaps considered evil:

Agent Provocateur? I have vague memories of the company. In case anybody else is having problems, here's a reminder
Merry Christmas chaps lol:

Given my current predicament that isn't so stupid. redface:
MILFH hasn't defrosted hers fully either. redface:
-
We haven't opened ours yet... evil:
-
What time are you planning on eating!?!?! Mine takes fourish hours!!!
-
Ours is just about done. The pork is done as well.
The only problem is that my sister has decided to use her time-table and will be arriving later than what was agreed - only found out this morning when cooking had commenced, my dad called and told me what time they were picking him up.
Also dreading my sister getting maudlin about our mums death earlier this year, the day could go very pear-shaped.
-
We have opened... no projector... sad24:
Going to eat soon...

Up at 06.30 ~ oh the joys of small boys.
So far this Christmas day I have used 16 AA batteries, 10 AAA batteries and 12 C Batteries. Good job I bought a load in readiness. ::)
The children are thrilled with their Wii but all pissed off that the old man has thrashed them all at 10 pin bowling (maybe after I have had a drink or two I'll confess that I used to be a semi pro at the game whistle:)
I have received an excellent (I know because I created the Amazon wish list) selection of books and CDs.
SWBO is pleased with all her gifts and those I purchased fit her perfectly angel1 (Several nookie points there I feel).
Lunch is on course for 2.30.
In Laws have all phoned in and all is well.
Merry Christmas.

Mine has. Well in all fairness it did started going tits up yesterday afternoon following a 'litle incident/accident' involving a 'horse play' moment involving Growler jnr and a 10 year old girl that all spirraled and went horribly wrong. eeek:
I'm currently sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the possible fallout from the mother of the girl involved. No angry and compo demanding phone calls YET.
Mrs G didn't help my already thouroughly depressed mood this morning by getting the presents mixed up.
Growler jnr opened up the Wii hand control before the actual console. ::)
"But we haven't got a Wii" they both exclaimed.
Give me strength. ::)

Unlike Turkeys, you get four.

Day went well, sister plied with large vodkas.
Falling down juice worked very well on me, although only once though. No damage done and no hangover so far.
Mountains of food and booze left as usual.
-
All passed off well. Few arguments among children but that was to be expected. Otherwise lunch was excellent, all gifts received without any gritted teeth and the TV didn't even get turned on until 8pm.
