Ask any MSEer and they'll recommend cancelling Xmas...

Love how Hamish merely rubs everything off as "tiny" or "minimal".

Even gas and petrol are merely a small percentage of most peoples spending to him....one of the biggest costs next to mortgage / rent and it's just "minimal".

Only thing not seemingly called minimal, is the actual minimal pay rises people are getting....these are described as above inflation, but over the last few years. Time for the :rotfl:

Wonders never cease.

I actually dislike Xmas... it's not Xmas itself, it's the company one's forced to keep .....

I do wish I was an orphan sometimes.

I'm with you on this one, PN.

I can celebrate at any time of yr, given reason. I just have a problem being told to celebrate.

I always keep the damned thing low-key. decent food/drink and a few gifts. sorted.

Debt junkies only think about the next payment.


It's only £2 a month extra....... It's only £5 a month extra... it's only £10 a month extra............. and so on.

.. and so on.

As long as you can afford the next payment, everything's OK

He must be a millionaire. How envious I am. Wonder if they're thick on the ground in Aberdeen. I surely must be in the wrong part of the world.

He's quite well off is our Hamish, supposedly.

You'll have to ask him later, when he's returned from queuing outside his local fish and chip shop which he refers to as Yo Sushi.

I'm trying to imagine him saying that in an Aberdeen dialect.

If Hamish is an AFC supported he could very well be drowning his sorrows in the north sea, they got beat 9-0 earlier

Xmas is just a big Sunday dinner (extra veggies), tin of sweets and a few gifts... £100 tops.

Thats what xmas means to me, a couple of special meals with the family, treats you roll out once a year, a time to indulge and a few gifts for a few special people.

I'd have a few beers with Hamish, in fact I reckon he'd be a p!sser after a few ales.

I'd have a few beers with you all. Can just imagine who would be sitting in the quiet corner too

Would love rewired to come, and sit there all night not saying a word, just nodding occasionally at opportune moments.
