A Christmas Tale
 
Tonight my darling wife attended to some last minute shopping.My small contribution was to take my daughter to a netball court where we proceeded to shoot hoops using our feet .As I looked around the oval resplendently verdant after the recent rains in Victoria I thought; Do I really wish to leave this beautiful country whose gum trees sway in the mild summer winds,whose stores play Bing Crosby and the Andrews sisters at Christmas.

I was thinking should I stay or should I go . And then I thought

F**k this !AH WAANT Slade.Humour,people who let there hair down,have a bit of a healthy disrespect,a good laugh, folk who don't conform,complain,have substance .So there

Happy Christmas (including Cricket1)

I always think that Bing Crosby's 'White Christmas' sounds weird when it is played in the stores here - it sounds like a joke, like someone is taking the piss:huh:

I used to moan about the Xmas records until I heard the guff here.I got my friend to make up a CD of all the Xmas records to attempt to create a little bit of crimbo here.I'll not be here next Xmas but I'm glad my one and only will be sunny

At least you are spared the puke inducing "Christmas Shoes" by Newsong. Here in BC (Canada) we are tortured with this shite every other hour or so. I swear I will strangle the next radio host who plays that pile of sanctimonious drivel.:curse::curse: GIMME WIZZARD!!!!!

The low brow culture of the uk is vastly superior to Oz and sounds like the same in Canada.
Strangle one for me
