Bad weather means thousands of children may be disappointed this Christmas

Some online retailers are saying they might not be able to deliver on time.

That should cheer up a few bitter and greedy mid-lifers who missed the boat in 2009.

Look, someones going to be more upset than you this Christmas, even if it is a 5yr old girl that thinks Farther Christmas has forgotten about her.

Get gloating! Bear food I think it's called.

    I think you made a mistake.

    Did you press post, instead of cancel?

    Only bear food in that is observing how desperate the threads have become, and what a housing bull considers a "good idea to post".

    People laughed when they heard suicide rates we going up in young married men and they cheered when that banker shot himself.

    They revel in the news that repossessions are up and families face eviction and pat each other on the back at slightest hint of interest rate rises which mean some children going hungry.

    I thought this would be right up their street as it's also got naff all bearing on whether they can buy a house.

    Bang on the money. Couldn't have said it better. Horrendous characters.

    Absolutely right! If those lazy parents had got off their fat @rses and gone shopping on the high street there'd be no tears on Christmas morning. :D

    Does Santa bring many 5 year old girls houses as a present at this time of year?

    Maybe he does but then I didn't understand the OP anyway.
