Seasonal firsts

[Mike]

Wow, and you post on it the Internet! He will never know!

I got Brian (my jovial though slightly rude boss) in the secret santa. I took great delight in getting him plastercine sex dolls with their own book of the karma sutra.

PS Brian got another colleague Alison a blow up bondage chair one year, so Brian is fair game.

Your definition of ''slightly rude'' would be my staffroom's definition of a ''completely perverted male chauvanistic pig''. I don't know, adults these days...

''completely perverted male chauvanistic pig''.

Nah Brian is really nice and was really supportive if there was site problems in my part three. Really rude is my colleague who sits next to me and fs and blinds all day long.

aaarrghhhh! SO many people on my street have now got their Christmas lights up!! I guess at least they waited till December...although technically one of the houses leaves theirs up ALL year, but only switches them on for the festive season...

[Andy]

I was going to post about that Chrissie. Who thinks that a flashing snowman in their window is a good idea? (Enough of the rude thoughts please people).

[liz.brownlloyd]

A flashing Johnny Depp wouldn't go amiss though!

There's someone down Linden Road who usually has a 5-6ft tall blow-up snowman in their garden. I'm hoping they don't figure out how to make it strobe as well.

I have not seen that one, I will have to take a proper look in January!

Who wouldn't want a strobing 6ft blow up snowman?! Can we blow it up with TNT?

...supplying moral values since 1854.

An eskimo?

Here is one more that I remember from early November - the first time I saw stollen on sale since January. It wasn't on sale for long and it was delicious. Yum, yum, yum.

My 'seasonal first' offering for the day is the staff Xmas party which is tonight on the 4th December.

Seasonal first. Paying for my christmas do. . . . . 18 December 2009. This day shall go down in the history of miserly christmas behaviour.

Don't you always have to pay?

[Mike]

There is usually an office Christmas do that is a freebie!

Our social committee people don't seem to have bothered organising a Christmas do this year. Shocking behaviour.

There was a dubious seasonal first this weekend for me, but you can check the other forums for details of that one.

[Mike]

Maybe you should dub them the anti-social committee.

Another dubious one for me. I have a seasonal tummy bug that is confining me to the house (further details you do not need!) it is typical it comes 1 week before a major deadline. Might have to work a day over the weekend to make up the diference.
