Nae Union Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 So what's everybody asking the big, jolly fellow for this year? Maybe you're after a new bike. Or a selection box from the love honey catalogue. Maybe an end to the commercialisation of this once holy day. Whatever your pleasure, reduce your carbon footprint by posting here and hopefully Saint Nick will see you right. I'll go first. Dear santa, If its not too much bother, can I have the new Bob Mortimer book, a bottle of whisky and some peace and quiet to destroy them both. Or world peace. Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Genuinely can't think of anything this year. Maybe something nebulous, like the ability to plough through all my remaining coursework, do all the jobs around the house I've been putting off, and go through a power of work to make a bit of extra cash so I can relax a bit in the Spring. So, basically, speed. A lovely big bag of speed please, Santa. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTG Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 My wish is that every cùnt who had their Christmas tree up before the end of November be served up a serious dose of the skitters on Christmas day. I'd like to have seen the Venn diagram for these people and October poppy wearers. Other than that I'm good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorongil Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 My wife is asking me what I want but is also pointing out that I’ve bought myself a new telly, a PS5 and a car in the last 6 months. She makes a fair point and there is genuinely nothing I want or need right now. yet I am required to answer the question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 1. A new roof for the house. Which I won't get. 2. Air fare and spending money to go to my neice's wedding next year. Which I won't get. 3. A new furnace (Me and the Dad from 'A Christmas Story' are spirit brothers). Which I won't get. 4. A Leica M10-R Digital Rangefinder Camera (Black Chrome) plus a Leica 35mm Lens. Which I won't get. and 5. A fully restored and upgraded Jaguar MKII. Which I won't get. Frankly, if he brings me a bottle of decent whisky, a Terry's Chocolate Orange and maybe an NFT of something, I'll be well content. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) Add me to the chocolate, booze and peace and quiet club. After about 30 anything you want you can buy yourself or it's too expensive to ask someone else to buy. Because I'm going to her side for Xmas day and she is working Xmas eve I'll be having my own private Xmas day on Xmas eve. Wake up, champagne and a bacon croissant. Followed by a hefty couple of whiskies and a couple of old films . Down to the local for mid afternoon for a good few hours of pints, whiskies and podcasts and home for a curry and the M.R. James Ghost Stories. I'm in tears just thinking about it. ETA presuming nobody on here is a 19th century quaker when wasn't Christmas commercialised ? It's always been about the gifts as far as i know going back to the early 80s. Edited December 2, 2021 by invergowrie arab 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Presbyterian hangover Christmas wasn't that special in Scotland until the early 60s as Hogmanay was the main festival and there will be folk alive who can remember having to work on 25th December. Anyway I'd like: A copy of the winding up order ending the existence of a certain club for ever 400 gallons of Baby Bio to be sprayed on the Subbutteo stand at the New Meadowbank to see if it might grow bigger Kylie to turn up to the house dressed in something sexy singing "Santa Baby" The Senior manager at work to have his genitals chewed off by a honey badger Saltcoats to gain city status World peace and that But I'm getting socks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite the opposite it was miserable Presbyterian rejection of feast days and anything else which might be a laugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
