What’s wrong with dusk then?

… or twilight, or the gloaming, or sundown …

I think today (Dec 12th) is the earliest sunset here - officially 15:55

My kids say chillax. I haven’t butchered them, yet.

Pfff my youngest is of the skibidi Ohio rizz sigma generation. Fuck knows what he’s saying half the time. I just spout it back to him in an annoying voice which works… for now.

FOL1 believes he’s Eminem. Rational argument against this (He’s 11 and born in Devon) escape him entirely his counter argument starts and ends with: ‘Brahh…’

It’s stuff like this that makes me glad my kids were independent enough at 18 to think fuck it, I can’t live with that cunt anymore.
Thankfully, they’re lovely, and have forgiven me.

As much as I hate the whole shebang of Christmas, I do enjoy it in a masochistic sort of way

Big up the paté massive

Claire’s booked us a glamping thing near Ambleside, no Wi-Fi, not even any leccy to charge phones. We’re eating out every day, even Christmas Day breakfast and dinner, which I actually love cooking whilst maintaining a level of being very slightly pissed for approximately 12 hours before tipping over into comatose around 8 or 9 in the evening.

FoL#1 Ellie will be in Japan, FoL#2 Lauren is only coming up Christmas Day and going home Boxing Day morning.

I’m even going to miss my mum being passively, but intensely, irritating and judgmental because I’ve had two bottles of wine a whisky or two and a couple of beers.

I actually think I’m not going to enjoy it at all. I hope I’m wrong.

Sounds great to me, I bet you love it!

Probably will. I’m just naturally a pessimistic cunt.

Paul is a big science fiction fan, and is married to Becca and they have two boys.

Yep the appreciation of fiction comes in very handy. Bet his kids look forward to Christmas every year :roll_eyes:

TBF if I was a teacher and this guy turned up at my school asking to talk to kids I’d be dialling 999 and locking the door.

CP for calling himself Dr as well, gets on my tits when non-medical people with a PhD call themselves Dr.

Once called that bellend at LFD to ask about a phono stage…

Me - hello could I speak to Richard Bews please?
Him – Doctor
Me – excuse me?
Him – It’s Doctor Richard Bews
Me – ah ok, Hi Richard
Him – it’s Doctor
Me – you want me to call you Doctor?
Him – Yes
Me – knobhead…‘click’

Even worse are the ones with an honorary doctorate, who haven’t even got a PhD

Dr Ian Paisley?

Although John Cooper Clarke seems to be enjoying himself with his honorary doctorate in the Arts from the University of Salford. He has appeared on a few game shows as Doctor Clarke.

I agree, along with use of military titles once left the military.

Happy to make an exception though for Dr John Cooper-Clarke though.
