Eugh Christmas Parties are a bag of wank. I get to spend my Sunday being lightly hungover and dreading going in to people in the office making comments because I dared to dance and have a laugh. Naturally some fool will have had their phone out, those portable joy vacuums for any modern party.
Surbiton here.
I braved Oxford Street with my girlfriend yesterday after breakfast at the Park Lane Marriott (she's a manager at County Hall Marriott so we get like deep discounts on EVERYTHING). Amazing hotel - very flashy after its refurb. But yeah, Oxford Street and Selfridges were hell on Earth.

smash is a bad game
zelda u will be too

I often watch his videos, I think they're really rather amusing and often quite interesting to boot, but I may have found his best video yet:
Ashens - World's Sharpest Knife
The part where he gets drunk with power around 3:45 is mint, LOL. (I genuinely did LOL)

Ashens is great, been watching for years. He's doing a Reddit AMA tonight if you're interested.
He's a good lad, I'm sure it went well. My gf did make me laugh yesterday morning as she saw me sitting on the pot and said 'Should you be sitting on the seat without protection?'. When I asked why she said 'Tash was using it this morning and he's riddled with STIs'.
I had to explain that Tash 2.0 was a sensible (but unfortunately boring) fellow.

Game's shite, but the story behind it is pretty fun. Hell yeah, video games making old men angry!
I dunno how old Farage actually is, but he has the attitude and perspective of someone from 1923.

Which is funny, because he looked like this, some 30+ years ago.
Also, everyone turn on Pointless right now! Alexander and Richard have porn 'staches.

Haha, I must say your lady really is a keeper, her brother was such a nice guy too, made sure I got up and left on time and directed me to Euston
It's been amazing, I'll probably message you about it when I go home
Yeah she's literally the only person who I can see being able to handle Jim and keep him in check

Not really.
You think people aren't materialistic up North?
I think you're probably looking back with rose tinted glasses
This is amazing. Probably better you didn't post it in gaming as people probably wouldn't have got why it was funny.
Just got back from Christmas shopping in Cardiff centre. Hell.
People pushing and shoving. And why do people randomly stop right in front of you? Numerous times I wanted to bark "MOVE." but I held my tongue.
I really feel for the people working in big retail stores, I know I work in retail, but my little Co-op store doesn't generate anywhere near this much traffic. I walked into Waterstones, saw a queue of over 50 people (not exaggerating), with only three tills, and promptly walked out.
And to the numpty fucking cunt in Superdrug who didn't deactivate the security tag on what I bought, thanks for getting me stopped and searched in nearly every fucking shop I went into.

I'm heading to Westfield after work to get the bloke's xmas present. After spending 2 weeks in Florida where everyone was well-manned, polite and friendly I am not looking forward to the rudeness I expect to encounter.
Boxing Day is the worst. Absolute hell.

Not long to go and I haven't got a fucking clue what to get the missus. Argh. I got a really nice print for her birthday two weeks ago, but that seemed to be the extent of my ideas. It is driving me crazy.

Ouch 2 days. My condolences on your late Christmas shopping experiences.

Just went to get stuff for my Christmas dinner. Sainsbury's wasn't even busy, no queues, pleasant shopping experience!
It was either them or Asda. If I'd gone to Asda I'd have probably had to take weapons.

It's a pain. She's not particularly girly (like, I'm pretty sure I own more dresses/makeup than her) so those stereotypes are out, her family tend to get her Kindle vouchers so that covers book things, can't think of any games she wants... and can't think of anything that'd be useful for her work or commute or stuff. Might just go round shouting at items in shops.

So is she into art? Making it or just appreciation?
I got mine a 3ds xl, smash bros, and a frame with some pictures of us within.
All my wrapping is done too. Gone for a theme of ribbons on everything.

So I'd better get my Christmas shopping done tonight. Why did I leave it so late?

Decent pair of headphones, CDs, graphic novels (deserve to be read from paper not kindle imo), fave tv show figure, lego.

Do you never go shopping together or anything? There must be stuff you've seen her looking at or mention in passing, unless you've been paying no attention at all!
Thanks guys, she really is. How good she is for me does almost kind of make me feel a tad guilty for wasting all of my exes time. Fully aware that it's a stupid feeling to have.
Sorry if I didn't get to talk to you guys much on Saturday, always a problem when you're the host.
Jackben
bitch I'm taking calls.
You guys sure like to leave it to the last minute, I've had my gifts bought and wrapped for weeks now.
Still beats dealing with retail at this time of year. I remember a few Xmas's at HMV that were each a nightmare. Nothing like the 'most wonderful time of the year' that brings out the nastiness in the common folk.
I have nothing better to do with my life now that classes are over.

I've just ordered most of my gifts online to get delivered to my parents, much packing tomorrow! Gifts came pretty easily to me this year:
Bro: decent pestle and mortar
Pops: stuff to make a miniture gun (don't ask)
Pat: voucher for a health spa
Sammy: dress, jewelery, perfume, scarf, Attenborough DVD's, little model of a Bond Bug (secret best present, she wants one when she passes her test), Mickey Bubbles CD and some sexy underwear and knee socks (you've got to buy yourself something innit)
Shay: remote control car
Ava: soft doll thingy
I know most of my gifts too, I'm basically getting a watch, pair of trainers, a coat and assorted clothes, and presumably other pointless crimbo tat that I'll never actually use scattered liberally in between.

I only have to buy two presents, so I got my mum a ceramic hedgehog for the garden (she is obsessed with them) and a cheese making kit for my grandpa. Done and done.
I have literally murdered my way through christmas shopping yesterday.
I forgot the girlfriends mum and dad. So off to battle again soon!
Now to work on Christmas eve, (going to the pub at the first chance I get)
Merry Christmas GAF.
Haha, Surbiton here.
You may, I also had those the other night.... they were lame.
Surbiton here too! Yeah that would been bloody awful, central after November is a big ol' nope!

My friend is a big fan and got to meet him at Comic Con a month ago. I was playing games or something while he went over. Seems like a cool dude.
