Christmas gripes......

[littlefish 549]

Was in the centre the other week, the missus said "I'm away into primark" i peered in and it was rammed so I replied "well I'll just wait here then" and took a seat, as I looked left and then right the whole 4 benches were lined with men of all ages who like me had thought "f**k that"

 

That was the 'man creche'!

I'm away to finish mine today and feel like crying at the thought, I wonder how many times I'll say excuse me and sorry before I just about turn and leave!!

Lost all interest in the commercial aspect and ain't even remotely religious so none of all that business interested me either, just saw it as a week of doing naff all but getting leathered............then I had a kid and it was like turning the clock back to when I was a kid, loving buying all the toys, getting a tree, putting the decs up, can't wait til Christmas day so I can watch her opening her new toys. The only thing I really hate is the crowded shops, but we have the internet now so you don't even have to leave the house to get pressies.

 

Going back to the original post though....can't be doing with it when people tell YOU what to buy THEM, takes all the fun out of it....you might aswell just give them money!! or maybe she just wanted you to look like a bellend carrying a 2 meter long multi coloured caterpillar through town? in which case, I like her style!!

Any chance we could see a photo of this caterpillar: I've tried to find it on the net, yes, I know, I'm really sad :laugh: but can't find it anywhere: is it for real, or are you on a wind up?

All looking bored to tears and pissed off, right?

it begs the question, why oh why oh why do they insist on taking us with them?? I really don't get that at all! My mrs asks me to go shopping with her and then when I'm propping something up bored to tears while she tries on 17 outfits (and then puts them all back!!) she moans at me for "deliberately looking bored" ....erm, trust me...it ain't an act! And I'm sure these sodding shops deliberately design these buildings so you can't get the internet on your phone anywhere within 50 yards of a changing room These shops are missing a trick, if they have a gadget shop style section near their changing rooms they'd make a fortune!

PMSL i think that's standard fare for every male in a relationship/married at Christmas time, woman "ughhhh why are you even here if you're just going to have a face on all day?" BECAUSE YOU f*****g DRAGGED ME ALONG PET!!! i would rather be tied up and left alone with Jimmy Savile than face Primark etc at this time of year.

I have got away with it mostly this year she has done it all online and and havnt had to do anything!

Mind you its cost me more than if I was able to follow her around the shops moaning at her about spending too much

well the look on her face when she got a mountain bike was feckin priceless

i was dying to laugh but held my nerve, so i asked her the other day "what do you want for xmas"
