    Tis waaaay too early for xmas shopping! Most of the people I have to buy for are under the age of 4, so they'll be easy to get stuff for. The fella is being annoying and not let me spend over €50 this year for his birthday and xmas cos we went a bit mad last year on the whole xmas/birthday thingy. It makes sense cos we're skint but I wanna shower him with gifts cos he's awesome!

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Bah, christmas shopping is nothing more than a fix up trap to keep us all on our f-in uppers while we make the man richer. Screw christmas, keep your money safe, do something proper with it.
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    yeah, you may go off it yourself when you get a couple of kids, then christmas just represents spending too much money.

    mine have gone past that, now they just look at what they have, what the others have, and try do the sum in their head to make sure they haven't come up short.

    I love playing pool, I'm not to good either though. Planning on getting an outdoor table when we get the back yard done.

    RIGHT!!

    The official PJ Pit Grinch/Scrooge list 2008:

    eyedclaar
    JamieUK
    Heineken Helen     (for telling me to 'fuck off' at the mere mention of Christmas)

    The list WILL get bigger if more people don't start being nice about Christmas!! :mad:

    And Jamie (Grinch #2), as you don't appear to appreciate the festivities, you will no longer be receiving a gift from myself and Dave. The sheep lube will just have to go back for a refund.

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    I thought I had been removed from the grinch list. I love x-mas; I love getting presents! You better find a way to get me off this list because you wouldn't like me when I'm grinchy!

    Your gift to Trix will make all the rest of us look like chumps. I mean how are we supposed to compete with that? I might as well not get her anything. She would just smile politely and then go play with her new Ed.

    And now I have to get you something too? Oh man, I guess I'm glad I have so many shopping days left... Time to get all those children out of my acid mine and get them back to work in my sweat shop.
    That is such a cute post. :)
    Go play with my new Ed! ;)
