Hi guys, looking for some inspiration.

We have pencilled our xmas do on the weekend of the 10/11 of dec. However we have no venue. Had a quick look around.

Anyone got any suggestions. Price range is up to around £40 I would say.

Very decent do it was there too last year on my Christmas do. A messy affair all round.

Haha. Me too. And me too.

It was the night of the heavy HEAVY and sudden snowfall. If we hadn't have pre-booked our taxi, we'd have been stranded. The place was like a refugee camp the next morning according to a mate who had booked a room!

Ours was the week before I think, great little place it was I thought. Although I shalln't make the mistake of running up a bar tab on the room!

Christmas is the last thing that I would steal. It's a worthless sham / scam take your pick. Absolutely zilch to do with the birth of Jesus Christ and everything to do with a now 3 week orgy of sloth and gluttony. The only people Christmas actually benefits reside in Chinese plastics factory sweatshops.

What else is there to do that is the slightest bit interesting never mind intellectually stimulating? The only thing that compares in being better when it's over and done with is New Years bloody eve.

And decrease the surplus population :tu:

No 'Grinch' please, American Dr Seuss nonsense, I'll have Dickens every time. It's for the kids Gordon, and hopefully a time where relatives will get together.

As for religion, should my daughter choose to follow a deity that's her choice. Personally I look forward to the Queen's speech at 3pm, rather than all that Holy bunkum.

Not any more it's not,

'Christmas overkill' is for.....

1. Fuelling Chinese expansionism and battery manufacturers profits the world over.

2. Turkeys to die in their millions to feed us yet criminally half will end up in landfill cos housewives now would rather do a microwave lunch for boxing day rather than do anything with the left over turkey. (a direct consequence of em binning DS in schools imo. btw Could this actually have been a behind closed doors chummy up at No10 and lets discuss party funding supermarket driven initiative? If it has its paid massive bloody dividends.)

3. People to skive off work for longer than they take for their holiday's in summer..... which really is for the kids.

4. People who rarely go out through the year to get p1ssed up and make fools of themselves in the local pub.

5. Dreadful Christmas works parties. People end up slagging off their bosses to their face and telling them at great length just where the business is going wrong whilst those who couldn't care less about socialising with their workmates for the rest of the year end up shagging them at the office party resulting in huge embarrassment and subsequent divorce.

6. The great restaurant rip off, where restaurant meals suddenly double in price for 12 days or so before reverting back to the mid week desperation of 2 for 1 deals and the like once we've already handed over all our surplus money for bad service and steamed veg and soggy roasties.

7. The great annual taxi rip off, where taxi's double charge and when asked why offer the limp excuse 'cos it's christmas mate innit' despite 95% of the drivers celebrating eid a few weeks previously. Do they charge half price then? Do they hellaslike! Following their skewed logic they damned well should! Either that or we should charge them more for goods and services through ramadan, but of course that'd be racist and bigoted though wouldn't it? Please note that in this country only whites can be racist and bigoted. Odd how at times of reflection like this weekend how we keep getting reminded of the benevolence and tolerance exhibited by the followers of Islam.

8. Bank overdrafts, never never finance, massive interest charges from unpaid credit cards and a finance sector that rents their clothes and gnashes their teeth if we don't spend more than the previous year on useless unwanted gifts in the high street stores. Two days later any left over tatt is half price in the sales. Just how bloody gullible are we?

Finally Christmas is enjoyed by an increasingly tiny %age to go to a carol service in church.

Good eh? :angry2:

btw have I missed anything?

Theno, I know that you and I have had our differences in the past and will no doubt have them in the future, but you've just about hit the nail on the head with that post.

You forgot to mention:

(1) The obligitory visits the the in-laws & various other relatives that you can't stand.

(2) The humendous amount of waste paper that it all involves

(3) The waste that is involved in people buying other people things that they neither need nor want nor appreciate, and that you are obliged to say "thank you" for.

The whole blooming thing is now just a consumer frenzy followed by another cosmumer frenzy in the New Year sales where we are all rounded up and pointed in the direction of a 43 inch flat screen TV that we don't need, but because its £200 cheaper than it was in November people think they are getting a bargain.

The media always do articles about people who have queued outside stores overnight to get bargains. No one ever suggests that these people are morons.

Bah, F*****g humbug. You can take "Christmas" and shove it.

Got that of my chest then.

Can we have a section for "Grumpy Old Men?"

Lay off Christmas guys.

If you don't like it, don't click on the thread about Christmas parties!

I'd wager Jesus would've bloody hated the lot of it rog. Christmas revelries must be like the carry on that greeted Moses when he came down from the mountain.
