You might be right. My Mrs has a mate she goes to see every week and this woman buys all those magazines like Inside Soap. My other half likes to watch the soaps and this friend keeps telling her whats coming next. She hates that and I can't think why anyone wants to read or even pay to read that load of bull. I think I may get dragged screaming into town tomorrow which I can't wait for. Personally I don't care if I have bangers and mash for Christmas dinner but for some reason I have to go and buy loads of pointless stuff for boxing day when some family are coming even though they won't eat half of it. Mind you great choice for sanwiches in the evening when they have all gone,

Evening all, I'm on late tonight because my boy's not well and I have also been wrapping chrimbo prezzies.
I've always thought that soap writers are regularly replaced at Xmastime/newyear..................by now they are in the depths of despair and can't carry on anymore............they start playing on the motorways........especially in the fast lane (is there a slow lane anyway ?)..............they visit Beachy Head..............or have found away of opening a pod door on the London Eye at the top of it's rotation..............or if the're really,really depressed buy themselves an Argyle half-season ticket for January and have to sit next to sensible in his optimistic mood.........saying things like "we won't be relegated before Easter you now.......we're to good for that"............and as he gets more morbid, he talks about checking out the Tamar Bridge straight after the match win.draw or lose just to make sure no sod as been tampering with it...............by then the thought of returning to continue writing on your soap for another year doesn't seem to bad an idea...........and sensible has saved yet another life............good old sensible showing the world that there is always someone else in a worse case scenario than yourself...........
Sensible..........my Freedom pass is a great thing............but you still have to work out how to get from A-B...........it's not just a straight line from here to Plymouth..........you have to zig-zag all over the place to continue your journey...........so it will take longer than expected...........and sleeping in bus shelters on cold wet night at my age aint a great experience.
When they first became nationwide someone tried going from Lands End to John O' Groats............I'm not sure if they managed it, there are a few places were the're still not recognized..........you might have to walk a mile or two to get to your next connection..............time I get there I'll have forgotten why I started to do it in the first place...............there coming to lock me away hay-ho hay-ho hay-ho hay-ho.........
CAN I WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY CHRISTMAS...............AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR>

Hope the lad is better today mouldy. They should have Christmas in July shouldn't they when there are less bugs about. If ever there was an argument for God being a female it is clearly on the organisational front that could prove the argument.
Blimey plymborn, do you get up in the middle of the night to post so early? I'm hardly out of bed by that time of the day these days. How you could think that I'm a gloomy sort of person I just don't know. I'll have you know I smile at least once a year and have even been known to chuckle a time or two. I used to watch the soaps myself but to be honest it is all getting a bit tired and old hat now. Nobody ever just gets married or just has a baby or lives any sort of normal life. Every married couple have affairs either both or one of them numerous times and nobody lives happily ever after.

If there is no tomorrow I'm just off to smack my next door neighbour one and kick their bloody cats then get a refund on all the Xmas presents my Mrs has bought. I need the extra dosh to buy a perch for the birds before it's too late.
Good to here he is ok again.

Merry Xmas & A Happy New Year to all of you......stuck here in Saudi and working tomorrow.....no vacation left! But have a little something in back of cupboard if you know what I mean.....
Merry Christmas to all!
sensible you are the original scrooge but we kinda luv you..in a strange sort of way

Mrs LaLa..............you obviously don't realize that sensibles next door neighbour is a forty-ish divorced lonely lady............who would be quite interested in a good smacking............how could sensible be so mean to his next door neighbour at Christmas not cheer her lonely life up just a teeny-weeny bit..........the cats have not caused any trouble at all...........but obviously an excuse is needed.
Just seen your last post Mrs lalala and how you can say I'm the original Scrooge I just don't know. This Christmas has cost me a bleedin fortune again. I'm more like the Gennie of the Lamp in panto who hands out all the bloody wishes in the World. (do I sound resentful enough) I offered to "assist" in the kitchen today and my Mrs asked me to do a bit of veg up for tomorrow. Opened the fridge and what did I find..........blinking sprouts. I'm just going to sit and fart my way through tomorrow now.
I thought the bar might be half full of knackered out last minute shoppers tonight taking the weight off their feet.

Only one - me. It's been a busy day and I'll soon be giving it zzzzzzzzzzz's
Can't say I blame you to be honest. This time tomorrow you will be wondering what all the fuss was about and even more so why all the effort. Have a 
on me and a happy one tomorrow.
on me and a happy one tomorrow.
Merry Christmas to all in the best bar around.
Sensible, I love sprouts, they make me fart as well. I will have as many as I can tomorrow, it keeps the kids away from me!

Farting in that outfit must be a bit of a trial mouldy. I suppose you can spread them in two directions at once which on reflection could be a bonus for keeping everyone at arms length. Let me know how it goes and if it works then I might just get me one of those outfits. Have a good one (day that is not fart) and I'm off for a lie down in a darkened cellar. Wake me up when it's all over somebody.
Just had fish fingers in pitta bread when arrived back from work...went down a treat, tell ya!... but going to eat Thai little later hopefully, as long as we dont get to hiccupy before we go out....Enjoy all and all the best for Argyle the coming days 
well that's dinner over and done with sprouts and all. Nucleur zone around me now but only the Mrs in the room so the sport isn't so great. Spoke to son and daughter on phone this morning and none of the grandkids wanted to say hello. Miserable little ingrates can have the sprouts next year and I'm having the XBox and games.
I see you are in Jeddah hp_bedoboy. Is that where they made the starwars films? How is Obi and Yoda these days. Doubt there is a lot of Christmas going on out there and reckon you are probably in the best place. I won't be able to even listen to the match tomorrow as family coming round. Seemed sort of funny yesterday not having anything but Scottish football on anywhere. Anyway, hope you enjoy your Thai and a merry xmas.

Probably did Sensible as built a space cadet school here yrs. ago. Obi & Yoda aching to get back in the movies again but need constant training......Not alot Xmas here but make it what you want. The Thai grub!..was excellent, shame was'nt a scrumptious woman but beggars can't be choosers out here. Anyway Sensible have a beer for me & enjoy. Will be shouting for the lads tomorrow.....now we need points! COYG.
My experience of some years ago in the Gulf was that most of the women over 21 looked a lot like Yoda when you could actually see what they looked like. Mind you the blokes were hardly Omar Sharrif either. More like old man Steptoe. Glad the Thai was good. We definately need the point tomorrow or should I say today as it is gone midnight. 3 points would go down a treat.
We certainly need the points,will be a big game with Buckle being under pressure at Rovers.Unfortunately can't make it but will have time today to get up to Plainmoor to catch The Gulls v Swindon could be a good one.Will give me a chance to sus out the opposition havent been to Plainmoor since our bad afternoon 3 weeks ago.Very much looking forward to the game on Jan 2nd-a lot of my Gulls connections up here are pretty confident of getting a "double" over us,must admit can see their point although it evens out nicely with Purse suspended and Rennie Howe suspended for them.
