Ho, ho, and, indeed, ho [Nov. 20th, 2007|01:08 am]
Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry
I understand some tiresome event called 'Christmas' is almost upon us. My local high street has turned into a shopping war zone, so it must be true.

The other day, in the midst of the non-stop scrum of rampant consumerism, I saw a young mother, whey-faced and scowling, buying up just about every kiddie toy in Poundland. I wonder what her child will think of that? First the good news, kid - you're getting lots of Christmas presents. Now the bad news - everything comes from the pound shop!

Christmas? Ghastly business all round, I say. I won't have it in the house. However, just to prove that I'm not a horrible old misanthrope, I hereby present you with my virtual Cristmas card.

Come raise your flagons of foaming ale, good people, and let us drink to festive cheer!





...and God help us, every one.

Saying "bottoms" without actually presenting at least "a" bottom is misleading and unfair!!!

I'll rectify that a bit later with my 'Arse to New Year' post!

Nothing wrong with pound shops.. I was in PoundStretcher the other day thinking that if I could be 5 again, I'd buy up the entire shop!! :)

(They even had a lightsabre that lit up and made medieval swordfight noises.. how fucked up utterly cool is that?)

Hello Uncle,hello mister_ed (let's play with again!)!

It seems December 24th and 25th are very sad days for Japanese boys,
they needs to:
buy some shiny sliver or gold presents with diamonds for their girlfriends
prepare some good expensive foods and cakes for them
reserve some fantastic hotels to stay with(=this the most important thing!!!!!)

but if he gat a bad luck then:
The girl friend says
"Thank you so much such a wonderful night,
but I need go back to my house from now,my parents waiting"
and come back with the present.

....I am very lucky because I am not related to those people......

.... I love the Pound's land of UK,
In the tour of the last year,at there,York's pound's land,
I bought a big plastic picture (with a picture flame as well!!!)
of Munch's Scream. it was wonderful!
Now he still screams in my room!
