well....yes.I was trying to be more of an internationalist ABR
:music:
If your eyes see deeper than the colour of skin
Then you must also see we are the same within
An' the rights you expect are the rights of all
Now it's up to you to lead the call
That liberty must come at the top of the list
Stand proud as - an internationalist!
I don't really understand Thanksgiving, to be honest. I was interrogating an American colleague about it today and it seems they just eat a big meal. There aren't any presents, no Great Escape on telly, just a big dinner and some American football. They don't even seem to get horribly drunk and pass out in front of the telly from what he told me.
It sounds really rubbish.
If I'm honest, it's the lack of all-day drinking that bothered me. Now Christmas is a proper holiday. You start with fizz at breakfast, more fizz opening the presents. Then it's time to head to the pub for a faceful of ale. Then back for pre-dinner drinks. Then fine wines with dinner, possibly port and/or brandy after dinner, then telly with more wine and perhaps a dram or some more brandy before bed. You basically don't stop drinking for 12-14 hours. Marvellous.
No, I started making a big thing out of it years ago, as a dry run for Christmas lunch. The old man and I and the rest of our squad at the controls* in the kitchen all day; the dollies indoors talking about fashion and whatnot, I suppose; putting their feet up.
*Dead on the cooking claret.
It's handy to have these things ready for when you just can't be arsed cooking, isn't it? Sorry about your dad. :-(
I've got the day off tomorrow and I'm harbouring thoughts of staying up half the night watching cricket. However, that will obviously have to mean not getting too fired in and passing out at 11, so it's a 50:50 ball, really.
I meant sorry you're feeling all sad, not sorry he's dead. Although I am obviously sorry he's dead. You know what I meant.
Fair point on the cricket. It's 12 until 8am. It certainly represents an excellent opportunity for falling asleep drunk on the sofa without having to feel shabby about it.
Jesus Christ IUFG man, you have to love a bit of TSC.
I defy you to not throw a shape or two this very second, in your offfice, at your desk if you are shy.
