It's because of all the "watch X vs Y" spam that constantly tries to get through.
I'm enjoying reading how the Scots are all blaming the ref.
...and of course the obligatory: Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!

That has become so cringeworthy, nearly as horrible as the vuvasala thingy.

Yes, I'd prefer it if they would just man up and take it on the chin. But that's (professional) sport these days.

I was under the impression that Australia was 98.3% mutton 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

... it's less than ten weeks to Christmas.
So are you started prep yet?
Herself's Christmas present arrived yesterday, and it's charged and set up (Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5" Titanium Bronze - my word but that's a lovely piece of kit, what a display!)
Christmas Turkey breast is surrounded by butter, fresh sage, pepper, and lemon rind; vacuum packed and in the freezer ready for the Sous Vide on the day.
Sage, onion, chestnut, and sausage meat stuffing if made, vacuum packed and in the freezer.
Pretty much the only major things I have left to do are decide on (and pay for) a present for me from Herself, wrap them both, and write / post the cards.
Any of you even thought about it yet?

Don't tell me: you start your present shopping on Christmas Eve?

Christmas every day.
As the anniversary of my birth is quite close to the winter solstice (or so I'm told), I look forward to that.

Don't care, Mrs Wife's present is sorted and she does all the rest. I am at Gatwick North on my way to Budapest until Wednesday.
I may, or may not, be in a bar. ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)

I got home 11pm last night and the flat was cold and I was sober. Well soberish.
By Jesus, does it take a while to warm the place up, I sat in the sauna for half an hour to warm up

It's my dad's birthday next week and I've just ordered a present that, if he likes it, has a second part I can give him for Christmas 
Other than that, nope.
I like doing as few as possible for Christmas.
Some people insist on sending a card, but I've managed to keep that number to an absolute minimum...
Sending cards to people you never see anyway or to people you see almost daily, ugh!
What a horrible time-consuming tradition! 
So that leaves eating all the good food at my parent's house, om nom nom!

Is that that pagan shopping festival that occurs every December? Don't do that; nothing to think about! Simples!

Sister-in-law's birthday tomorrow, mother-in-law's on Wednesday, wife's on Friday, over sister-in-law's the following week, two neices and a nephew in November.
Get through that lot and maybe start to think about Christmas.

You do realise that, given it's Samsung, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5" Titanium Bronze Plus will be released in another 2 weeks. You'll probably have to keep the one your bought for yourself and get the missus the new one. It's only fair.
