Oh god what have i said???

Do people here have a problem with Foxhunting?

Well...you tend to get fairly polarised views from some folk on the subject.
Hang on, I'm just getting some Pringles.

after opening presents, get ready and have a walk to the local to wish everyone a merry christmas and have a nice lovely alcoholic beverage, then going home and have dinner, watch shit films and sleep!

As kids- having the contents of a Cadbury's selection box for breakfast.

As adults- having the contents of a bottle of Bucks Fizz for breakfast.

Thankfully, as soon as I was old enough to protest, the family tradition of having to go on a long and tedious walk after lunch- and, more frustratingly, BEFORE present-opening time- was abandoned some years ago.

Presumably nowadays you get to to celebrate the birth of Santa by arresting pissheads beating the shit out of other pissheads who blame it all on Baby Jesus And His little Elves

I appreciate foxes have to be controlled in the country side, but I despise the way they are terrified before their gruesome end by being chased for miles by dogs and horses before cowering in a hole awaiting the inevitable.

In my book, anybody that gets enjoyment from that is disturbed.

To get over the trauma scars of family Xmas mornings of yore, I now go down to the beach by the Pier and watch the Shiverers go in the briney at 11am. Lots of fancy dress, deep breaths on entry and The Argus photographer taking Boxing Day's editions front page pic :rolleyes:

You know what, I've only ever ended up working early shifts on Christmas Day, which are quality.

Nobody's that pissed in the morning, they're all revelling in their newly opened presents and looking forward to lunch, perhaps by taking a pleasant stroll along the seafront and greeting passers by with cheery seasonal tidings. The police officers of the city, meanwhile, are typically enjoying a festive fry up in the nick, followed by a casual wander along the prom to make sure none of the Christmas Day swimmers are drowning themselves down by the pier, and for once enjoying the goodwill of all those they meet on their travels. All at double time :) Then it's home to the folks in time for a late Christmas dinner and a few well earned glasses of wine.

By the time the late shift starts, however, it's a rather different story. The kids are already bored with their presents, the cook has been insulted one too many times, everyone's starting to realise just how crap the BBC's festive programming schedule really is, the sherry is well and truly taking effect, and the 999 calls for domestics start to stream in.

Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la, la la la la.... ;)

Two sprout related thoughts...

For me, they should be done al dente like

And

Q: What's the difference between a Brussell sprout and a bogey?

A: You can't get an eight-year-old to eat a Brussell sprout
