Seen a bus go by and the driver was dressed as Santa. Surely it's too early for that? It got on my nerves anyway.

Far too early, I wonder if he's going to wear it every day for the next month.

Is this in Aberdeen?

First Aberdeen do have a Bawbag driver who spends the whole month driving dresssed as Santa because he likes Christmas,

Just an overly cheerful Cockwomble

'Pray for Chapecoense'. Ye that's what to do. Maybe now God will look after all those poor families he didn't give a f**k about 24 hours ago

^^^^ This,

It's as if there's some magic number of prayers that if we get past it God will do something (like what?) but if not, forget it.

Or any response like that you get on Twitter, every time something bad happens a "pray for xxx" movement surely follows where twats want to pretend that they give a f**k while getting as much attention on twitter. "Look at me! i care so much"

Christmas must be a paedo's dream. All year parents tell their kids not to talk to strangers then suddenly they actively encourage them to sit on the knee of some dodgy bloke who's unrecognisable under a false beard.


I'm not sure if this happens everywhere, but a few years ago the Santa in the Kingsgate in Dunfermline had to have a separate wee chair for the children to sit on as they weren't allowed to sit on Santa's knee.

Do you still feel a bit upset about not getting to sit on santa's knee?

Chapecoense have won the cup, with no players, got pledges of at least €40million, no relegation for three years and their pick of players to loan from the top teams in Brasil.  I'm a believer...

The whole reaction to the Chapecoense thing on social media has annoyed me. Yes it's very sad but no-one had heard of them a few days ago and no-one seems to care about the other passengers who weren't associated with the football team. It's all just one-uppery about who can be more devastated. It's even used for 'likes' on facebook with pictures of the surviving players mourning and fans crying etc.. crazy.

I was devastated. There's always the Easter Bunny, I suppose.


This is my killjoy gripe, religion pulling in and indoctrinating kids through presents / sparkly stuff at Christmas and lots of chocolate sweeties at Easter, with all the schools helping them do it, and any other boring festival being swept under the carpet. Then you've got the constant Xmas adverts everywhere from November also keeping it alive, driven solely by commercialism, not religion.

If you didn't have this then Christianity would be near dead in the water in this country. I'd quite happily abolish it, although if you deny kids the fun things you had yourself then you're a bit of a c***. It's a shite state of affairs to be in and all the bah humbug in the world won't make any f*****g difference.

I was going to say "it's shite being religious! They're the lowest of the low, the scum of the fucking earth" but I thought that would look terrible out of context.

I was just speaking to my sister in law and she said she put her Christmas decorations up yesterday. I do despair about the family I'm married in to. 

I'm going to go on Dragon's Den with my new invention - an Advent calendar with 54 windows that you start opening on 1st November.

My daughter would approve. My wife just discovered she'd managed to slit open the back of her advent calendar and had already tanned all of the chocolates. Not bad considering it's not even December yet.
