Christmas 2022

[Dquincy]

Just sent her a pick of my dick.

[Ben]

Get her rifled.

[Spikey M]

Sounds like she's become an MLM hun, but instead of selling wellness oils and avocado candles, she's selling her arsehole. The question is, does she want you to buy her arsehole, or does she want to pimp out yours for 10% of what you make. Either way, make a thread.

:lol:

Mate, if you saw her arsehole, you wouldn't want some of that. An old stretched chocolate ring doughnut.

Lovely lady though.

Just going to google MLM.

[Spikey M]

Multi Level Marketing. Pyramid schemes, basically. You know the type. Single mums selling wax melts, essential oils, diet supplements, etc. But none of them actually make any money unless they bought in early and recruit a load of boss babes.

[Dquincy]

Ah, thought it was a sex reference for some reason.

This does explain why she was all dressed up at work and had a half day last week. They go to hotels apparently.

[Lofty]

She is going to take you to a hotel on a half day and it'll turn out she actually likes shagging all of her new men at the same time.

[-james-]

Had to run an errand in town earlier. A UK city centre on a Saturday in December is the worst conceivable place.

[Jimmy Floyd]

They're not great at any time of year, but yeah. There's a convergence of the usually horrendous architecture/city planning, the ubiquitous brand names and lack of originality, and blind consumer desperation of many of the people present that make it a thoroughly depressing experience, and needlessly so.

[Lewis]

I don't know if I just notice it now, whether I'm just less patient, or everywhere is still trying to run on pandemic staffing, but everywhere and everything seems to be stupidly busy on weekends now. Probably a bit of everything seeing as I was in Tesco earlier and the queues for six deep for the half of the tills they actually had open.

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's the pandemic staffing. A lot of management telling themselves fairy stories.

[Magic]

Just put the tree up. Kitten is not really interested. Now for the decorations...

[Foe]

Pictures of the kitten please.

[Raoul Duke]

Went to our Xmas market just now (the biggest in the Netherlands apparently), was great. Went into the town hall saw a brass band play some Xmas tunes and then bought a waffle with Nutella on it :drool:

[Dquincy]

Love a bit of brass.

[Don]

Dutch brass :drool: Tranny alley will forever hold great memories for me.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Taz loves a bit of sausage.

[Dquincy]

Dutch brass :drool: Tranny alley will forever hold great memories for me.
Agreed. You've not lived until you've experienced an attractive 'lady' slapping her dick up against the glass.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-63917114

The cunts are coming back.

[Shindig]

Maybe don't pick the song about a famine.

[Lewis]

Have I suddenly become a tart, or is using a song about an actual famine as the basis for your annual zany sausage roll song crossing a bit of a line?

EDIT: As above, good to see not.

[Spikey M]

"Food Banks clo-ooooosed,
they've run out of donations!

Sausage ro-ooooolls
Not even got vegan ones!

Poor Rudooooolph,
Can't afford to light his nose this year....."

Give my my fucking MOBO.

[Kikó]

It's going to -6 tonight. I better bring the beer in before they shatter.

[Dquincy]

It's going to -6 tonight. I better bring the beer in before they shatter.

Get your butler to do it.

[Kikó]

I'd rather get your mum to do it.

[Dquincy]

:lol: Lovely stuff.

[Baz]

Left my coat in a pub in Liverpool during my Christmas do but just got it back. Also had my two car keys and house keys in the pocket, my work ID to get in work and my scarf. Plus it’s a limited edition coat. God bless!

Honestly wouldn’t recommend Golf Fang, cos 18 holes is too many when you’re clearly there for a sesh. We sacked it off after 13. Still got a pic of me licking a dildo, at least.

Baltic market is just okay, nothing amazing. :sorry:

[Jimmy Floyd]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/articles/christmas_dinner_budget

All that bullshit and they could have just said 'make a paella'.

In all seriousness, though, that starter looks like something out of my 70s nightmares.

[-james-]

Girlfriend's uncles and cousins are organising a five-a-side game for Boxing day. Given my current cardio levels, and barring some sort of HGH fuelled two week training camp, that's my Christmas ruined.

He's destroyed the tree.

[Manc]

Is the Mrs a vegan or just a gluten nonce?

[Lewis]

The cat won't be smirking when Magic encourages his lass to crush it in some heels.

[Kikó]

I just ate stollen. Absolutely sensational.

[Don]

Sounds like a shit panetonne. Bought some luxury one of the latter from Waitrose the other day and the cunts had put some solidified coating of sugar shit all over the top of it. Had to be binned and may have put me off panetonne for a long time.

[Magic]

Is the Mrs a vegan or just a gluten nonce?

Allergic to gluten nonce.

[Lewis]

Panettone, stollen... All of this foreign muck wants banishing back to the continent along with their racist Christmas characters and festive anti-Semitism. Aldi and Lidl shut down if necessary.

It's good shit.

We've got the panettone and gran pandoro ready for Christmas. It's ok though because I live on the continent with the foreigns.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Pear & Chocolate panettone is the one I go for.

[Boydy]

Stollen is disgusting. It has the worst foods in it - dried fruit and marzipan.

[Offshore Toon]

Those smoked paprika mini chedars are shit. 30% less fat is not a good thing and no amount of paprika can mask that.

[Pepe]

Allergic to gluten nonce.

Made for each other.

[Lewis]

Those smoked paprika mini chedars are shit. 30% less fat is not a good thing and no amount of paprika can mask that.

Off the top of my head all of their alternative flavours are worse than the originals. The crinkly ones pulled it off, but they aren't really Mini Cheddars to begin with.

[Ben]

Branston Pickle were great before they inexplicably ditched them.

[Foe]

Big fan of that cat. Top work.

[Giggles]

Branston Pickle were great before they inexplicably ditched them.

He's a Bengal mix.

[Pepe]

It's just a cat.

[Dquincy]

A shit one at that.

[Pleb]

Working on Christmas Eve should be illegal for fuck sake.

[Spikey M]

My work were fishing for someone to attend a Christmas outreach program at one of our estates the other day. Very disappointed at the lack of update, they were, but I have noted that they cancelled it rather than have a manager attended. Bless them.

[Spikey M]

I've just heard the LadBaby song for the first time and it's somehow worse than I knew it would be. Number one.Fuck me. Jimmy's beloved Facebook Mums strike again. Video below for you all to suffer through (but not the official one so does nothing to help the cunts).

[Lewis]

Is 'money raised' what's left over once they've done a Captain Tom Foundation and paid themselves a hundred grand?

[Spikey M]

Someone said it's "proceeds" rather than "profits", so yeah, they'll be taking profit for themselves and donating a percentage.

How true that is, I don't know. It was probably just a faceless Twitterbot.

[Lewis]

Also are they actually MASSIVE TORIES or is that just because he had a little cry the other year about how their shit song should beat that cringe anti-Boris Johnson one?

[igor_balis]

He's a Bengal mix.

isn't that the Indian snack with all the dried lentils and chickpeas and stuff

[Magic]

No.

[-james-]

Saw a mate of mine the other night and he mentioned he didn't have any plans. Missus mentioned inviting him over to her folks and it seems to be happening. Feels quite odd.

[Baz]

She’s shaggin him.

[Lewis]

And it's John, who isn't dead, but he completes his quest to one-up the forum and he has his aneurysm the second James finds out.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Roast chicken dinner tonight. My brother did the chicken, I did the roast potatoes. Then we all watched Big Night. Great film. I'm cooking eggs in the morning.

Haven't wrapped any presents yet, but wevs. Got to do a marinade for the tiger prawns for the paella first.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Had our big Polish fish feast tonight and the gift exchange.

Tomorrow is turkey, ham and Polish style beef. I'm doing the roast potatoes.

What is Polish style beef?


I had a kebab tonight.

[Lewis]

Still lolling at that paella. The old man must have given up.

[Magic]

Pickled.

[Boydy]

Merry Christmas, lads.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's thin beef steaks (not sure what cut tbh) that are tenderised, fried and then stewed with onions in stock.

https://niecodziennikpary.pl/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/bitki_wo%C5%82owe_2.jpg

Bitki Wołowe.

Merry Christmas TTH.

Turning away black people from Ukraine then hating England because of racism.

But damn that hypocrisy looks good. :drool:

[Jimmy Floyd]

Still lolling at that paella. The old man must have given up.

The reason we're doing it is because he normally dominates doing a roast beef, but makes a needlessly massive mess while doing it and is unable to realise this / clear up after himself as he goes. This drives my mother towards madness so we have staged an intervention. Obviously we can't do a roast as he will then just come in and tell us why we're doing it wrong, so we have to do something he doesn't know how to cook.

He has various other stupid Christmas traditions that remain intact, such as: buying a Christmas pudding purely to set it on fire (it doesn't get eaten), and seething when we won't all come and watch the monarch's speech with him. 'Fine, fine, I just thought you might be interested in what she has to say. Suit yourselves.'

[Ian]

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.

[Boydy]

Can't you just watch the speech to keep your old man happy? Even I usually watch it.

[Boydy]

Watching midnight mass on BBC1 now and you Church of England lot are basically Catholics.

[Spikey M]

Can't you just watch the speech to keep your old man happy? Even I usually watch it.

Why?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Boydy outing himself as a royalist, get him Giggles.

[Spikey M]

Watching midnight mass on BBC1 now and you Church of England lot are basically Catholics.

They're mostly women and gays (the vicars/priests), aren't they? so I doubt it.

[Boydy]

Why?

It's just usually on in my parents' house and as Jimmy's dad might think, I'm interested to hear what she (or he now) has to say.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'm having nothing to do with midnight mass, pure legacy popery. Personal God only please.

He will be well within his rights to sulk all day and ruin it.

[Boydy]

They had the incense out and they're all in fancy robes. You don't get this sort of pageantry in Presbyterianism.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Can't you just watch the speech to keep your old man happy? Even I usually watch it.

I always watch a fucking long film from his childhood with him to keep his nostalgia quotient up (looks like being Zulu this year; usually it's 633 Squadron, A Bridge Too Far or The Heroes of Telemark) so I'm doing my bit, I'm not watching some bullshit about all faiths and none.

[Spikey M]

I have literally never watched it. And this isn't some performative avoidance, it's just easier to not watch it than it is to watch it. It's literally on at dinner time.

[Spikey M]

They had the incense out and they're all in fancy robes. You don't get this sort of pageantry in Presbyterianism.

Park life.

[Boydy]

They've got some terrifying wickermanesque crucifix up in this cathedral.

[Pepe]

Merry Christmas Everyone.

We ordered some prime rib meal from a local restaurant. Will let you know how it goes.

[Lewis]

The Christmas Day speech should be on every single channel like the rolling death coverage was. Nobody should be able to avoid it.

[-james-]

We're not going to mass in the morning which is weird, I'm guessing because of various peoples ill health. I have no interest in religion but it's a bit of a shame, it's a nice ritual.

[Baz]

Happy Christmas, mates.

[Danny]

Park life.

:D

Merry Christmas lads.

[Lofty]

I have watched the Queen's speech once in my life because my ex navy brother in law held the queen in such reverance I think he would permit Andrew to nonce his kids. Usually in such company I manage to avoid it but I had overdone it on the lager early doors and was suddenly trapped. Didn't see the fuss personally.

Strategic Paella sounds grim, Jim. Just go full Mark Corrigan on the old man and take the reins.

[Giggles]

My mother usually wants to watch the speech but she’ll get the same answer as last year. It will never be on in this house.

[Bam]

She’s shaggin him.

:D

And it's probably true.

[Giggles]

Or she will be before new years.

[Bam]

I had a kebab tonight.


100% had you down as a vegan.

[Spikey M]

Going to try and get to the München place for a pre dinner pint as well. Have a great day!

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

Dodge covid for over two and a half years and test positive today after feeling a bit shit yesterday. FML.

[Offshore Toon]

Merry Christmas boys. I'm at a carvery buffet for lunch so the aim is to leave the hotel at a net loss for the day to teach them a lesson.

Bit of a shitter in that my nan is ill, but at least I can drink now as I don't have to drive her back. Should make my sister's father-in-law slagging off Sadiq Khan more bearable.

[igor_balis]

me and my mum are "doing a Jimmy Floyd" and fucking off the traditional Christmas dinner. I'm incompetent at roasts, and she had to do about three massive ones at work (one thanksgiving dinner and two Christmas dinners) for the snotty kids at her school, so she really didn't fancy making another one just for the two of us. I suggested an Indian feast and she was like yeah sound why not.

I'm currently simmering the base for the prawn curry (onion, garlic, ginger, coriander, green chilies, tinned toms, stock, cashews, garam masala, ground coriander, ground cumin), and will also be on palak paneer duties. she's doing her usual cauliflower and aubergine curry later, along with homemade bhajis and some kinda cod kebab thing. gonna make some kind of rice dish and fry off some onion parathas too. I'm a staunch defender of the roast dinner but for one year it'll make a nice change.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

We do seem to be back full circle on that one, in so much as what does one do with that information at this point in time?
My mum's partner is 77 and we were meant to be there today, hence doing a test. Wouldn't have bothered had I not already been feeling a bit shit.

[Shindig]

American's are a bit weird with turkey. They seem to like it a lot.

Turkey is the king of all the meats.

[Spikey M]

Turkey is the king of all the meats.

That would be Lamb. Followed closely by duck.

[Lewis]

My mother asked me why my cousin has bought her eleven year old a bra, shows me the picture, and it's one of those tracking vests that footballers wear. As far as I'm aware he doesn't play to any sort of worthwhile level, so a bra might have been less embarrassing.

[Magic]

Turkey is the king of all the meats.

Turkey is barely a meat.

[Giggles]

By the sounds of it you’d be too miserable to put the oven on for any meat.

[SincereTheRebel]

He cant afford it anymore. All the funds have gone to the ring.

It's beef.

[Spikey M]

It's beef.

Beef is third.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I have beef and lamb at 1a and 1b.

Can't really separate then.

[Shindig]

Pork, although I love a good steak. Lamb might be second.

[Magic]

Beef is the only real meat, let's be honest. Anything else is purely accommodating queers.

[Boydy]

Lamb is delicious but beef wins it by being a lot more versatile.

[Dave.]

Pork is best, followed by beef and lamb. Taz's favourite meat is next.

[Lewis]

All of the big meats are hit and miss so having a 'best' is silly.

[Lofty]

If you aren't asking for 'everything, mate' at a carvery, what's the point?

[Offshore Toon]

I got beef, lamb and ham but didn't bother with turkey at lunch today. Lamb won.

[Lewis]

All of the big meats are hit and miss so having a 'best' is silly.

However, lamb burgers are the best burgers, so why do you hardly ever see them on menus?

[Jimmy Floyd]

How's the old man?

He loved it. Who wouldn't? Dog walk by the river, two pints, bottle of champagne, kids cook you a paella, he put the King on loud enough that we all had to hear it from two rooms away, and someone gave him that book about Liz Truss. Pig in shit.

[Lewis]

Took the dog out, hit the drink, sulked in another room with the music on.

[Spikey M]

Little Miss Incompetent.

Today is always a good day. Only decisions are how early to go for a few pints and what leftovers to eat when I get home.

[Ben]

I’m usually in the pub by 12. If I’m home by 12 midnight I’ll be happy with myself.

[Spikey M]

Fry up this morning, football with my boy this afternoon, probably a nap in between. Boxing Day > Christmas.

Ovenable food and a couple of films for me today. I'm thinking Banshees of Inisherin and Glass Onion. Y'know, festive stuff.

Good stuff. It really annoys me how many people don't have bread sauce (or even know what it is). Your Christmas dinner (or any poultry roast) os only living up to half its potential if you're not having it.

On thr topic of pate though, I bought some from M&S on the 22nd. Went to have some on Christmas eve and it fucking went out of date on the 22nd. Whole thing went in the bin. It went off the day I bought it and it wasn't even fucking reduced.

[Boydy]

Anyone else getting bombarded with spam calls today? I've had about five so far.
Had fucking 12 of these now. All different numbers. I answered a couple just to see what they were and it was some robo-voice thing trying to pretend I'd been scammed on Amazon.

[Baz]

Won a Christmas quiz made by my brother in law.

Also got wished a merry Christmas on Instagram by Pritchard from Dirty Sanchez and it made my day. Not sure why.

[Baz]

My mum cooks an almighty Christmas dinner, with all the trimmings you could ask for,and we all eat at the dining table and it’s fantastic - better than any present I could unwrap. As previously mentioned, this years my dads turn.

But then on Boxing Day I’ve gotta go the in laws and they don’t have a Christmas dinner at all. Mother in law puts out like 5 pork pies, buttered barms, an open packet of Bernard Mathews turkey slices, and like shite buffet stuff like that, and it barely feeds the 5 of us who are there, and I’ve gotta eat it on my knee in the living room. Proper depressing. No wonder my wife hates her family, if that was her Christmas every year.

Took pics this year. Was my dad cooking cos my mum wasn’t well but the contrast is still baffling. Brace yourselves.

As depressing as the inlaws offering may be, your dad has served up raw sausages, over-boiled brussels, and boiled(?) potatoes? And been sick on top of it. And what is the greasey shite under those brussels about? It's a no from me.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Didn't take a picture of the whole spread but I did take a picture of my roasties:

First time I had done actual proper roast potatoes and they came out fairly well. Was a bit pushed for time so they didn't get enough time to par-boil but they came out decent enough.

For the meats we had the Polish Beef steaks, a Turkey Crown and gammon. Sprouts (which my Mum ruined despite telling her a foolproof method which she got right today), stuffing, pigs in blankets and potato dauphinoise were on the table too.

That second plate isn't too bad for a Boxing Day spread. He's properly built this up to disappointment.

The downfall was because he was thrown under the bus last minute (my mum was meant to be doing it again, after cancelling a planned operation but then was sick yesterday) nothing was ready so went down the much-hated everything in the middle of the table and help yourself, so I just slopped everything on with haste. We were missing my mums presentation. All tasted great though.

This photo was also taken before everyone else had finished filling their own plates, as I then went back for a pile of pigs in blankets, two more yorkshire puddings and the remaining sprouts.

There were no boiled potatoes on my plate at any point.

Where's the bread sauce?

[Lewis]

Yeah that's the weird bit.

[Boydy]

They didn't have Christmas dinner yesterday? Or they had the same thing yesterday as well?

[Baz]

They didn't have Christmas dinner yesterday? Or they had the same thing yesterday as well?They definitely didn’t have Christmas Dinner and they didn’t have this either cos she only cooked the turkey this afternoon. No idea what they had but nothing resembling anything Christmassy.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Go on Christmas Day next year and check it out.

[Manc]

Hosted Christmas for the first time. Couldn't wait to get them out the door.

[igor_balis]

your bread sauce related posts in this thread have a similar urgency to the kinda text messages I used to send at 2am after 8 pints

people wanted to go to your house? definitely happened

[Giggles]

Just made the sambo in a whole loaf and ate the lot :drool:
Wrapped the whole job in foil before I put it back in the oven too.

[Baz]

I’d rather not.

[Spikey M]

Is 'money raised' what's left over once they've done a Captain Tom Foundation and paid themselves a hundred grand?

On this, wouldn't most of any money go to whoever holds the rights to the songs they are largely copying? If that dickhead former Rolling Stones whatever he was basically got all of the monetary rights to Bittersweet Symphony because he owned a small section of the strings bit or whatever it was wouldn't Startship get all of the We Built This City royalites?

[Spikey M]

I imagine the "charity" shit is mostly just to get the likes of Elton John and Ed Sheeran on board to boost the image of "the brand". From there the ad revenue from their other lame videos does the rest.

[Giggles]

Anyone back tomorrow?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Would be if I could to get away from the aunt coming down and her and my dad talking about smog in late 50s London until the cows come home.

[Shindig]

I'm back in but it'll be a skeleton crew and I'll be bored to tears. I'd rather do these dead shifts from home.

[Lofty]

Apparently my in laws went round to their sons this year (we were at my parents) and when asked if they wanted a drink and responding with 'a cup of tea please' his new wife responded with 'did you know it costs 20p electric to make a cup of tea' which is both comical and I imagine factually incorrect :D

[Ian]

She sounds like a hoot.

[niko_cee]

You'd hope said in more of a 'fun fact' way [like, say, 17 migrant tea pickers died to make that teabag] than a begrudging way, but it sounds like it could be the latter. Question is, did she factor in the energy cost associated with refrigerating the milk?

[Baz]

Red bush doesn’t need milk. And if you’re not drinking red bush, why not.

Smart meter says true.

[Lofty]

Oh it definitely wasn't fun fact, she is one of these who moans constantly on social media about energy prices, refuses to put her heating on etc.

[Lofty]

Smart meter says true.

My smart meter says £1.52 when I put my kettle and coffee machine on at the same time but that's the hourly rate not the rate for a few minutes. I read an article a minute ago reckoning its about 6p to boil a litre of water with a kettle.

At the Football on Saturday it started getting dark shortly after kick off and the floodlights still weren't on. One of the fans asked a steward when they would be putting them on and his response was "they're leaving it as late as possible. They're really expensive. It's £8 per bulb, per minute and that was before the prices went up. I dread to think what it costs now".

Yeah, just stick to telling people where the toilets are you cunt.

I've got a single cup making Breville from my bachelor days. :cool:

Not sure the steward come across as a cunt in this.

[Jimmy Floyd]

They should play winter games at 11.30, really, certainly at that level.

[ScousePig]

You'd imagine they will be soon. Maybe 12pm kick offs.

[Spikey M]

I think they only don't because it pisses off the Away team / fans, but I think there's usually less than 200 away fans at each game, so fuck 'em.

There's still no way a big lightbulb is costing £8+ per minute though.

[Lewis]

That would be a tremendous opportunity to steamroller the fan travel excuses for not having a British football pyramid. The Plymouth and Wick fans don't have an issue if kick-off is at eleven in the morning and they aren't expected to show up.

[Baz]

Work Christmas pints cancelled so decorations coming down today. It’s over.

[Giggles]

I was supposed to go with a lad from work this week for a few until I realised he thought his Mrs was going too.

[Spikey M]

Kinky.

[Giggles]

I’m beginning to think he’s not allowed anywhere without her.

[Giggles]

He's asked again :moop:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Tell him the more the merrier :)

[Giggles]

Tell him I've an awful dose like everyone else has :cool:

[igor_balis]

festive Samaritans shift for me, just spent an hour on the phone with my pal who is talking about how the only thing that's stopped him topping himself before is being too much of a pussy. happy new year!

[Shindig]

Just tell him death comes to us all. Why put the effort in?

[Giggles]

Exactly. Loads of places the attention seeking twat could get his fix.

[Lewis]

If being 'too much of a pussy' is the only thing keeping him alive, aren't you better off reminding him what a pathetic cunt he is? If you talk him up he might do it.

[igor_balis]

Exactly. Loads of places the attention seeking twat could get his fix.

While I do see where you're coming from, sadly from my experience, behaving like an attention seeker and being genuinely fucked up and depressed aren't exactly mutually exclusive. Guy has genuinely had a fucking shit year, mum is dying of an autoimmune thing, dad in and out of hospital with heart problems, and some girl has been properly messing him around for months. Sure, everyone has shit to deal with, and plenty have to deal with very similar stuff, but he's been suffering from a million mental health problems already so, yeah. Very much sympathetic. They've tried multiple antidepressants and he's done lots of different kinds of therapy, but it doesn't seem to be doing much good. I guess his best bet is to tidy his room, go for a walk, and improve his diet finally find some therapy that actually works.

[Shindig]

That's out of his control, man. Shite happens.

Happy New Year TTH.

Hope 2023 is alright for you all.

[Don]

I think we settled on fireworks being shite but backing it with music might actually be making it worse. Those light show drones are impressive though, once they can launch thousands of those badboys and improve the pixel rate they could do some mad hyperreality shit.

[Waffdon]

Hope 2023 is alright for you all.

Just alright?

Happy 2023 lads.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Happy New Year. Have a top one.

Anymore cheek from you and I’ll be sending Smiffy round to put your knickers in a twist again

Happy new year, you gobshites. It's TTH's year.

Happy New Year you absolute cunts
