This Christmas I will spend well over £4 on presents and, no doubt, receive gifts that I don’t really want in return.
I’m refusing to get a turkey on the grounds of cruelty to animals. The animal in question is me and the cruelty is the damage done to my pocket.
Lo, she is a terrible Goddess had the foresight a couple of years ago to register with an email card company. For a very reasonable fee I can send as many cards as I like. This means that only people with computers and email addresses will get a greeting. Quite frankly, it serves the other 80% of the people I know right, as they really should modernise themselves.
The other aspect of the festive [huh] season, that gets my goat, is the preponderance of all the stupid people who put all the stupid lights and tasteless decorations outside their houses. They might as well just hang a sign up saying “I am stupid, I am easily conned, I have no taste, I wear a shell suit, I eat badly, I own a Rottweiler.” (I’m beginning to think I own a Rottenwhiner. Lo,TG Ed)
Why haven’t the annoying ‘Green’ brigade called for these insults to good taste to be banned? They are always banging on about turning off electronic equipment that is left on standby and which uses a minimal amount of power, but the flagrant misuse of electrickery for the sole use of keeping up with the Joneses’ or, even worse not keeping up with the Jone’s, is completely ignored and even lauded on local television channels. Honestly, I sometimes wonder if brainpower has ever been at a lower ebb.
At least make an effort!!
Please don’t ever let me rule the world – it would become unrecognisable.
(He’s turning into a proper Grumpy OLD Man , isn’t he? Well , we can remove one of his worries – that’ll be one less present to buy. Lo,TG Ed)
