Arguably the ****test film I’ve ever watched. Two people have a bad break-up when she moves from Murica to London. Ten years later they go to their respective partners’ parents for Christmas and it turns out her boyfriend and his girlfriend are siblings which somehow nobody realised beforehand despite social media. They keep it a secret for no apparent reason and gradually fall in love again. Her boyfriend shags an old family friend. The family friend’s mum turns out to have been having an affair with the dad of the siblings. The family friend’s dad then gets together with the siblings’ mum so they’ve effectively done a wife swap. Everyone is absolutely fine with all of this immediately after it all emerges. 1/10.
Work Christmas do tonight. It'll be tragic, I ****ing dread them and I don't want to go. Looking for any excuse and the near hurricane that's about to hit could well be it. Hoping the coast road floods and I can't get out.
Or it floods when you’re there and you can’t leave, stuck next to fat smelly Brian from Finance while a coked up sales manager with a pregnant girlfriend tries to finger the secretary.
There have been a couple of incidents, we were all sent an e mal saying "by all means enjoy yourself, but....." There are some young knobheads at our place, hope they hang themselves. I also reckon if the road gets flooded it'll prevent me getting home, not the other way round. That's how it'll pan out, making it even more **** than I think it will be.
Xmas parties pre-Covid were great. Had one at Wembley at an old company where people got absolute rat arsed and a load of people skinny dipped in the hotel pool in the middle of the night and only avoided the sack because one or two very senior people were involved. Budgets slashed now for that sort of thing and life is poorer for it.
Calm before the storm, nice out at the moment getting jambalaya ingredients then and early pint later this afternoon before it gets stormy.
I genuinely think Mumbles road will flood, so I might get my avoid Christmas do pass sorted this evening. Result if so. Laithwaites got this offer on BTW. I went for six bottles for £36 delivered though. Very decent reds at £6 a pop.
Sorry mate. It’s horrible in the short term when it’s quick but better for her and you all in the long run. Hope the missus is ok.
Just schlepped a Christmas tree home. 6’ for £50 and she’s happy at least and will decorate the **** without my help. Is that good value? Felt quite reasonable.
