XMAS

Well somebody had to bring the subject up.

XMAS

The only good thing about Halloween is that it fills the shops with Pumpkins, Ghoul Masks, Pointy Hats etc which at least keeps the Xmas cards at bay!

We might not be allowed to have Xmas this year cos it upsets all the Non-Christians. Funny innit the Jews never minded Xmas-“Well he’s one of our boys, he’d a made a lovely Rabbi.” And the Hindu’s don’t give a fig, any religion that can have Pornographic Temples, tends on the whole to be quite tolerant. The Sikhs, well, they’ve never made a fuss. Budhists, um, um, um, um.

S’posing that we are allowed Xmas, here’s some novel ideas for gifts.

For the man or woman who has everything-A bloody big box to keep it all in.

For any man- The DVD-100 ways to make and keep your Willie bigger.

For any woman- A Mains Converter for your favourite sex toy. Well them batteries only last two hours.

For Lonely Male Budgies- A peck and claw proof inflatable hen.

For Kiddie Budgies-A Budgie Wheel.

For Auntie Nascent-A device that reminds her when a week comes to an end.

For Ex-Pats-The Biography of the man who brought River Dance to the Cambs/Suffolk Borders-“The Craic of St.Bhumm”

For the Great Writing Web Site-An upgrade so that when you post what yer see on “write a new work”  what you’ve seen has some bearing on what yer see when it’s been posted.

For Bottle Blonde Surfer- A big “thank you” card signed by all those that she has encouraged through her comments.

Well I’m sure that you’ve got your ideas so post them on the thread.

A parting thought, one good thing about being a Budgie is that nobody ever gives yer Slippers, Socks, Pullovers, or Bath Salts.

Pretty Boy Siddie.

Dont' we have to call it a mid-winter festival now; at least until the PC brigade decide winter is too negative a term. 
For me the subject was brought up in August; my cash and carry has aisles of stuff and carols then.God help us (sorry indeterminate deity help us)

On the radio this morning: in terms of consumer spending, Halloween is now the third biggest holiday behind Christmas and Easter. (In the UK) 
 
Our local Asda put their Christmas tree up about six weeks ago, but disguised it with pink ribbons for their charity appeal. 
 
I'm off budgies at the moment. Looked after a neighbours last week. Sodding thing drew blood. I'd give budgies a one way trip to the vets. 
 
All the best, 
 
Phil. 
 
(Enjoyed your piece.)
Nice writing Siddie...

Funny piece - but lets get back on topic NOT NEWS.  
 
Sorry to be negative, but I thought the idea was satircal news reports either "spoken" or newspaper type. 
 
Anyway, I did enjoy it though. And I'm glad Auntie Nascent can't figure out a week - coz I'm the current benefactor - so shoooooosh! :grin
