Fixed that for ye DS

For the planet - good things.

For me, nothing (well other than to make it home for Christmas Dinner), am happy with what I already have (In saying that, Kitten knows what I'm getting but I'm too embarrassed to admit to it )

Were you mashed last night Jim mate?

I was having editing issues yesterday and couldn't get into the site later to edit , I don't need to be mashed to screw my posts up It helps mind!

We're in the same boat on that one Jim .. done the same thing here a couple of times myself.

I'm having real trouble buying for my mum, dad and brother this year. Suspect they have most things they want. I did a hamper last year, which went down well, but I don't want to repeat myself too much! Any ideas?

Two bottles of Perriere Jouet from yer local wine merchant. Excellent Champagne at a good price

Buy 3 copies of the Xmas Edition of the Big Issue and 3 Lottery Tickets for the Xmas draw as a stocking filler if you really want to go nuts.... Sorted!

I read a nauseating article in the paper lastweek that went along the lines of ' Scots to blow £1.5 billion in Xmas Spending Spree Dispelling the Myth of Tight Fistedness'
I kid you not

A bit far fetched perhaps with that prediction or is it? according to this item we're well below target

With four weeks to go until the big day, the SRC estimated Scottish shoppers will spend around £840 million on Christmas related goods this year, almost 4 per cent more than in 2006.

Merry Xmas BTW

Dear Santa,

Would you please bring me a huge big tube of Super Glue.
It's tae go alang wae the new rug furr ma baldy heed ah
asked ye furr last week when ah wiz sittin' oan yerr knee
in yerr cabin ootside the Sarrie heed.

A widnae bother ye Santa but ye see, it's big Bella up the
sterrs, ye know who ah mean, big Bella that's aye gote a
boattle o' Lannie...(that auld fashuned Bucky) in her hon'bag,
her in the single end oan the tap flerr.
Well onywy Santa, she's goan an' just asked me if her wee
Shughie can get a len oh ma new rug yerr bringing me fur ma
Christmas pressy 'cause therr goin tae some sorta big shindig at the
Barra's jist effter naerday.
An me bein' merriet tae ma wife who's sister's man's a cousin
o' wee Shughie's big aunty Francis Anne Maree McFarlane Smith,
a' thought ah'd better say aye awright well.
But am no daft Santa, a' said ah'll day it this year but ah'm no geein
it tae them next year.
Wait till ye see though Santa they'll come back at the ferr fornight an' ask
tae borrow the rug again furr therr trip doon the watter.

Ach, ye know whit Santa, jist geez a boattle o' polish furr ma chrome dome instead o' the rug and super glue.

Do you know how long that took me to read Giro??

Anyway,

A recent photo :


Note bloke on the right leaving in a hurry to get his own copies before stocks are exhausted.

..... What it actually looks like is that he's just farted, is trying to waft it into your face, and you are trying not to inhale


Anyway, what I want for Christmas??

I don't know, because I'll be volunteering at Malcom Sargent house in Prestwick on the big day, working with the kids on a 6 day long residential.
I'll be there, along with someone else's kids from the 22nd to the 28th. Yes, seriously.

I'll be too busy for faffing presents!!

Also, the masochist in me truly took over when (stupidly), I, also at the same time for Sargent, put my name down for the Boxing day dip at Prestwick beach, so part of my pre - Christmas build up includes lots of bracing (i.e. FREEZING!! - cold shock is rather fun, isn't it??) cold showers so that I don't completely look like a tit when I come to do it

Nothing quite like setting a safe, sensible and responsible example in front of all those kids, eh??

I'd ask if you'd sponser me, but I suppose that would involve all the rigmarole of signing up for that 'Just give' website or whatever it's called
I'll see what I can do if anyone does want too.

If I (and my bollocks) survive, I'll (hopefully) get my pressies probably on the 28th (well, got to have something to look forwards too!), and boy they better be good, OR ELSE!!


Just a quiet Christmas for me then....

First, the Firth of Clyde, next, the English Channel!! Maybe

If it was meant to be private, why post it on here and not post it up a chimney somewhere like yer meant too??


Yes, things are sacred, I was just saying that I found it hard to decypher quickly, that's all -the Rossetta stone would have been quicker than that!

Dear Santa,
Time to read all the stuff in here
Just some fun please, and nice photies.
