I dunno , why do people hate so much on Brussel sprouts, if you don't like them , why buy them?
Different I suppose if you happen to grow your own, but then who does?

I hate them.

So don't buy them. But that doesn't stop me hating them.

You don't hate Chris Rea, but it doesn't stop you making up fibs about him?

Anyway , why do bass guitar players insist on wearing white trainers/ sneakers,, is it part of the uniform?

It is widely accepted that, as he was thirty three and a half years old when he died it must have been early October when he was born.
Plus the shepherds in the field when the angel visited, they wouldn't be in the field in the middle of winter.

Or maybe the beginning of November seeing how the date of his death changes every year.

I've survived Christmas, including the month long build up to it without hearing one of those Christmas 'favourites' at all, apart from about 4 seconds of Fairy Tale Of New York when I switched radio channels in my car. No Shakin Stevens, Wham, Slade, Paul McCartney, Greg Lake, Mud, Wizzard, Maria Carey, etc etc. Ok, I did hear 'Stop The Cavalry', but it was a brass band version, not the original Joha Lewie one.

This is not the Grinch thread you know?

Some people have accused me of being negative. My answer to that is that in the modern world, I am a realist. Those dreamers oozing positivity are not living on the same planet. They have their heads firmly stuck in the sand. Or are so caught up in their own ideal world that they are blind to the problems of others. Sorry to go off topic, but hey; Christmas is over. Thankfully!

I'd say they have their heads firmly stuck somewhere else, there are people sleeping on the streets and those relying on 'food banks' to put something on the table plus the number of 'barely surviving' is astronomical.
I could go on but then it would be deemed 'Political' and (rightly) deleted.

You have my sympathy if Christmas really is that important to you .
