I always keep the boxes to my consoles and major electronics purchases for at least a year or two. Can always use them for storage purposes if nothing else.

I don't really know why, it's just something I've always done. Maybe just out of habit in case they need to be returned or sold.

 

[CHEEZMO™]

I'd make a good dave lamb tbh

 

[BGBW]

Why would you keep it?

Because only then is the collection complete.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

These excuses don't wash with me. You can get a tree fairly cheap from Argos, some of them even come already decorated. And neither me or Andy spend Christmas at the flat, but that's not the point, it's nice to feel all Christmassy for ages before Christmas day.

I don't know, maybe it's just me and Andy? We really, really love Christmas and everything about it, and we want that feeling to last as long as possible so we put up decorations, watch Christmas films, have Smooth Xmas on the radio and really get in to the whole thing.

Oh I totally get the appeal of Christmas decorations, and I love the Yuletide season, I dunno, it just feels different in an all male house share.

When I lived at home, I jumped at the chance to help decorate, but nobody else seems interested. I'm not going to push the matter, the folks are all over that shit already! The house looked great when I went over.

Bro and the missus down on Christmas Day too, it's going to be jolly jolly.

Me and Jen put our tree up yesterday, listening to Rat Pack Xmas songs and sipping Brandy and Coke.

So fucking festive.

Aww dude! That sounds like a John Lewis ad or something.

See I get this, it's romantic and comforting, making the place cozy for guests and stuff. I'd be right into it, but it's not the same with the lads.

Maybe I'll hang a string of tinsel on my bedroom door handle, just so I can say I made an effort.

My porn that I won on Twitter arrived:

They also sent me a few buttons, a pad of Project-H post-it notes and a couple of stickers.

 

[SKINNER!]

you'll be thanking sensible you when you need that money

Hope so. I blame Britgaf for hyping the PS4 up It's only because there isn't anything worth playing at the mo'. Been meaning to save up after I virtually did not of it this year.

Damn, had the money to splash on a PS4 bundle but decided to put it aside for a rainy day. Fuck, younger me would've slapped sensible me silly right about now.

You live in Scotland, don't you? Surely the PS4 launched on a rainy day, you could've knobbed two birds with one cock.

That's a fair point, but at least you try, it's not like you don't even bother. I'm talking about the people who just don't bother putting a tree up because they can't be arsed/hate Christmas etc

I fucking love xmas. Holiday from work, get to buy myself presents, Mrs S is dancing around the house like some hip-hop Disney princess. It's the shit.

Are you allowed to help decorate the tree?!

I get a bollocking because I never do it right apparently. Seems that chucking shit on willy-nilly ain't the done thing.

 

[Jackben]

I hope I'm not allowed to help decorate in the future. Maybe I should try chucking shit on purpose.

My porn that I won on Twitter arrived:

From now on we're to call you "Big balls" Danj.

Andy refuses to help decorate the tree. He says I do it better, but really he's just a lazy fuck. Makes me do all the present wrapping as well, even for all his family.

One year, he tried getting me to wrap my own present from him.

You can imagine how that ended up.

 

[Hot Coldman]

SS sorted. Just waiting on Amazon for the second part if it... supposed to have arrived today, bloody ingrates. I'll be subscribing for drone delivery as soon as possible.

Spent a bit over a tenner but fuck it, it's Christmas.

Oh, I'm not allowed to wrap presents either. Supposedly they look like I've wrapped 'em with my feet. That's a fairly accurate description if I'm honest.I do make an exception for Mrs S' present though because if I didn't... yeah, I can imagine how that sort of thing ends up.

 

[Jordan]

If I lived alone, there would be no tree.

 

[Danj]

Scans pls

I don't have a scanner. And I'm not taking it in to work lol.

I'm sure you can find scans on your favourite animu/mango torrent site.

 

[afoni]

Same. My Dad and I stopped giving a shit a few years back. My housemates in my current house though... yeah. I'll be damned if I'm spending money towards anything though.

I cannot wrap to save my life, the missus does every present about from hers, I get a friend to wrap hers for me.

Unfortunately depending on who wraps the presents for me it means that I may have to be careful with what I buy.

I think it's disgraceful, he's supposed to be a role model.

 

[dapperbandit]

I would never have guessed!

Also jimbor, just because he's gay doesn't mean kids who admire him can't one day jump into water nicely too

 

[Symphonia]

You realise that we're all going to be drunk and you'll also have to deal with us, right?

With any luck, I'll be on my way to being merry before I even get to Euston. Dutch courage and all that jazz, gonna need it when I come face-to-face with jimbor, after all.

You should get on the marching powder dude, surely only good things will come of it.

I can only assume you're referring to a bit o' charlie, mane. If there's any going, I'm down for it. Tried it before, loved the initial buzz. Comedown was a bitch, though.

Gay? I thought we were talking about his ITV show.

If my flight lands at Heathrow at 20:25 how likely is it that I catch a 21:35 train from Kings Cross?

He's come out as bi though, not strictly gay. Which is pretty much unprecedented in sports since Classical ages.

he is in one way or another involved in anal sex between consenting adult males

I don't think the media splits hairs about him being bisexual really

One of the featured articles on the Guardian front page is literally about why the media (and everyone else) needs to stop equating bisexuality to homosexuality

which seems fair tbh

so has anyone decorated their house yet for christmas?

Not yet.

A friend of mine has a house that backs onto to the Thames, his neighbours have lots of gaudy lighting, which at night makes the place look like that bit from Apocalypse Now

Yeah, but she always re arranges it when we are done...

To whoever my SS is, I replied to your question.

Secret Santa gift packed and delivered. Hopefully it arrives alive.

Daaaayum Sonisphere. You certainly upped the ante now. Poor Download.

Maiden was seen last year and Metallica are boring live suffered trough them twice due to mate saying "they where shit last time they be better now".

Both are shit but only bad headliner at download is avenged, linkin park shocked me last time they turned out pretty fucking awesome plus nostalgia factor be strong this time. Aerosmith is just sweet emotion and you really don't want to miss a thing

 

[Symphonia]

So has anyone decorated their house yet for christmas?

I went round and decorated Anna-Lily's bedroom for Christmas. I bought her a cute little pink fake Christmas tree which I decorated with gold and silver baubles and white fairy lights, and put up a string of Christmas lights around the top edges of the room. I also sprayed some fake snow on her windows. I'm not going to lie, I think it looks amazing and her face when she walked in was great, couldn't put a price on it.
