Say what you want about Koreans, but they would force themselves out of bed as not to let The Family down (and drop dead during the dinner), so building the day up as something completely removed from all things Moonie has backfired.

Managed to get out of the horrible awkward present exchanging session with the extended family and just have to turn up at my nans to eat dinner with her, my mum and my uncle.

Last night was fun, but I was showing my mates the mental message the Romanian girl sent me a few days ago, and I accidentally sent a thumbs up, and was then egged on to fliratuously chat to her for a bit and it culminated in her saying something about me being a 'good husband'. Fuck sake.

I just went and had two pints at the pub, now I'm down with the lurg as well. My mum is properly bedridden, and my dad is threatening to watch either '633 Squadron' or 'The Bridge at Remagen'. Christmas lunch isn't happening so I'm going to have to survive on cheese alone. No presents will be opened today either. It's like the void Grand National.

I never understand why people get all excited about the actual dinner. Chocolate for breakfast yeah mate; but did you not all have weekly roast dinners growing up? It's just a slightly bigger Sunday roast, and when would you ever pay for one of those if given the choice of whatever you wanted?

People generally put more effort into the Christmas roast and so it's better, although Magic's potatoes don't seem to have been subject to such treatment.

Got a new rucksack and a scarf from the missus and a bunch of books/comics and some cash/vouchers from the family. I haven't seen my lot yet, but I can't wait to open my inevitable Lynx box set in mid-January.

I had my first brexit Toblerone the other day. Wasn't really sure how best to tackle the massive lip you get with each piece, bit too awkward to out in your mouth all at once, so I went with biting the lip off first, then taking on the peak.

Will have another one later to see if there's a better way.

Ya they moved it to Orlando this year and I live about 5 miles from the stadium so it'll be a fun day.

As for the bowl it's the Russell Athletic Bowl in Orlando as well as my Miami Hurricanes will be playing. The team they're playing, West Virginia, is ranked 14th so it should be a decent game.

First Christmas I've spent at my girlfriends. We're staying at her mum and step dad's near Scarborough. The step dad's son owns a b&b estate so we went there for Christmas dinner. It was a bit awkward as the girlfriend's part of the family ended up cooking most of the main course, but nice other than that. There was far too much food though and half of it is left over. I'll see about donating some to magic.

My aftershave has been upgraded from Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet to Million, and I think I'm a fan.

Played Monopoly for the first time in ages but her idiot dad didn't know you had to have all of the properties of a colour before you could build houses so he got in a mood. Then nobody knew that you couldn't put just put a hotel on one property and leave the others empty (you've gotta build evenly) so it all went a bit sour. Thankfully they still had the [clearly unread] rule book in the box to back up my claims. I'm not the motherfucking Monopoly master for nothing; how dare you doubt me! My earlier rule of Dungeon Master was obviously still with me cos I would normally let that second rule slide, but today I was telling it like it is.

All in all it went okay but I couldn't help wishing we had been playing the far superior France 98 edition.

There was no winner either because we just slowly sacked it off one-by-one and came home bored.

i played it once with my nerdy mate and his even nerdier mates. it was quite good fun but they insisted on playing in first person, and kept telling me off when i said my character did stuff, rather than I did stuff. I'd play again, but you need a good DM.

I would join a scrabble club as I score around 3-400 each time which I'm led to believe is decent enough. It's all about the 2 letter words and board placement. :cool: I used to play my mother best of 7 whereby the loser had to do something for the other, full English and the like. She doesn't play me any more. :moop:

You don't need to learn all of the two letter words, just those that bring home the points. XI, XU, KA, JO etc. The key is knowing your tiles and which are actually valuable. Your LNRST's are more valuable than their scores for example.

The Game of Thrones board game is pretty neat. Risk Legacy is cracking fun, but is basically just risk but with stupid gimmicks added. Settlers of Catan is a good gateway to "proper" board games, and pandemic is decent but I don't really like the co-operative nature of it. I wanna crush my dickhead friends not work with them.

That's such a stupid rule/law. I can only imagine its so you can't top yourself? If so, the number of things you can kill yourself with in Sainsburys must be in the hundreds. Special offer on Cilit Bang you say? Might Benoit the whole family.

Also, how is 'boxes' a reasonable way of dictating how much you can buy? You can buy massive boxes over the counter. Can you still have 2 of them?

I bet Tony Blair is responsible.

Adamski
26-12-2016, 12:08 PM
It's bizarre logic. Are you really going to decide against killing yourself after only being allowed to buy two or would you just come outside and buy another two in the next available shop?
