Miguel Sanchez Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I'd like to thank everyone for the past few pages. Sometimes I feel bad about not having any friends and being completely intolerable to women, but reading this talk about weddings (positive and negative) is bringing me out in a rash so it's probably for the best. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is expected to put in a good chunk of cash, so couples basically invite everyone they've ever met and everyone their parents have ever met. It's essentially a cynical scam. Sounds fucking shite. Says she went to two before she decided enough was enough, as her view shifted from the idealist-this-foreign-culture-is-lovely-and-quaint to the view that she was basically getting rinsed for cash by people she didn't know. Both were basically huge impersonal events with loads of people there who couldn't have had a conversation with the couple because they didn't know them, but felt compelled to attend to save face as they'd been invited so just went along and paid up. I'd never put up with that, I object to being emailed a fucking wedding list! the face culture is something I recon I just couldn't face - pun very much intended. honestly I'd rather just take the fucking embarrassment than go through half of that rigmarole. Has no one ever tried that over there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has no one ever tried that over there? It's much deeper than just being embarrassed though. It would affect somebody's standing in the local community, the family and society in general. It's not as bad as it sounds, it's not like you're getting invited to weddings every week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 South American/Spanish football commentary where someone shouts GOAL GOAL GOAL GOAL GOAL or goes GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL is obnoxious and shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 The "GOAT" chat must be the most tedious debate that's had in regards to football. The best World Cup final we'll ever see and it's this pish that's overtaken the match thread again. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love AC/DC's lesser-seen strategy of using single entendres in their song titles. Kenneth would not approve.

I do not say this as a shock form of look at me i'm such a bah humbug in today's fashionable misery. I mean it seriously, puting the huge commercialism to one side, It is a vocal minority that make a silent majority feel obliged to take part in something that if they could be truly honest, they're not particularly arsed about. there will have been a huge number of people who have had to go through the motions becuase there is family and societal pressure for them to do so when they'd rather just treat it like any other day. I visted two sets of aunts and uncles who I havent seen since the exact same time last year, neither of us have made any effort to speak through the year, so why now other than because it's christmas? If i had young children, I would obviously give them presents and would not want them feeling left out of it all, but when theyre grown up and i'm a proper auld c**t by then, then i certainly wouldn't be expecting anything from them, if they want to go thailand for a fortnight then crack on, there will be no guilt about leavin so & so by themselves at christmas! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's kind of the point. It gives an excuse to check in with people you'd normally feel strange contacting without good reason, and who would possibly drift out of your life permanently, something you might regret later in life. If you really don't like them and find it too much of a hassle, tell them to f**k off and I doubt you'll hear from them again! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good point you make but it is one countered by the misery that within minutes you are generally reminded of why it's been a year. Within minutes of being exposed to selfish brexity racism (now with added WhatsApp visuals that includes the likes of a Londis sign above 10 Downing Street) the only appropriate mindset is one that involves getting out of there just as soon as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been done with that shit for years, other than when one of P&B's multi-banned brethren fancies switching to a new account again. Anything that saps your spirit can GTF. Nobody gets to the end of their life and thinks, "one of my greatest regrets is not spending more time listening to my gran's stories about untrustworthy <insert racial group here>". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I largely agree with your points. People go through the motions with some being in their element but some the opposite. Personally, I like Christmas, but couldn’t imagine the stress if we were skint and was struggling to get anything for the kids. Now it’s not just that, but everyone showing off Christmas pyjamas and all the rest. Does anyone on social media have an imperfect life? I suspect so.. How do we make it easier for the rest? It’d involve a complete culture change, which would be very hard to achieve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
