That's what I'm hoping for.
Merry Christmas everyone.
Most of the family is sick and stayed home. More than enough food at least, I guess.
I was thinking of starting a Xmas loot thread in honour of Ed Anger, but this thread can be multi-purpose, right?
Thankfully the family got the message that I didn't want hardly anything and finally they delivered. So I'm rather please I don't have to deal with too much junk and stuff to recycle/give away. :-)
So what did you people get and give this Xmas?

Got a Roomba :w00t:
Gave my daughter a dino chair which she really enjoyed
Got my wife a foot massager, which she's been hinting at for a couple of years :lol:
I wish you all a Merry Christmas from the depths of my current post-prandial haze.
Merry Christmas everyone. :)
I am at the in-laws in Poland and in true East European fashion have consumed more alcohol at the various family visits than in the rest of the year combined. Plus ate a lot. Good times.
Merry Christmas to all! I'm still dizzy from all the eating and drinking, and there's still Boxing Day tomorrow... :wacko:
Happy Life Day!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to everyone! :)
Gleðileg jól! :cheers:
Bring back Yule.

I'm just off out to buy some snow shoes, just in case you bring snow with you in winter 2023. :D

Lots of people do. People like to move to the UK. It's like the Brits insistence that Britain sucks isn't true. :hmm:
I rather liked it there. :sleep:
We tried our best...Brexit, English football fans, elected the pack of mendacious wankers that call themselves our government...but we are still unaccountably popular :weep:
Just don't get sick.
Or expect a particular thing at a supermarket.

Why not run to an EU country? :)

Well look around the world and see what the rest of the countries are doing. Sometimes you just have to be the least moldy bit of toast :P
Your main fault is you speak English, the worlds second language. You can blame the states :P

Yes. Always think of that Bismarck line that the most important fact of the 20th century is that the US speaks English. I think it's still one of the most important facts from a British perspective and explains a lot about Britain.

India also speaks English. So does lots of Africa. So nice job evil empire.
The past and the future seem secure for English as the world's second language.

Last time I was there, I came home with the worst virus I've ever had. (Likely COVID before anyone knew what COVID was.) I still want to go back. :)

Yeah I have to say the key factor in me moving to Britain in particular was that I already had to learn the lanugae to pursue my nerdy hobbies. :p

When I was growing up the Scottish government decided that all primary school teachers would learn French. The problem was the vast majority of primary school teachers didn't know French. There were lots of inset days for a year or two. Looking back I realise it was all of the primary school teachers doing exactly one lesson ahead of what they were teaching kids.
I don't think the number of Scottish kids (or teachers) who can actually speak French has actually increased much since then :lol:
