How am I hungover? I'm not a fan of Christmas at all actually, but needs must for the bairn etc. trooper - thanks for the reply, and how the hell did you come across that?!

The Polar Express is nearly booked out so I'm trying to find out if it's worth going, Grinch-face Plus, I've started buying presents as I can't afford to get them all at once. So there's a thread - tough shit.

I know, I know - but it is only 9 weeks off. Just wondered if any of you have taken the bairns on the Polar Express that runs from Stanhope? What's it like? Feel free to use this thread for any other C-word stuff. (No, not that one)

Seriously?!

That's 10 years ago or more now, isn't it? You look exactly the same anyway!

Alex, Tooj, mancy, Renton, Gemmill, Jill, JJ - thanks for a lovely night. It was just like the old days

Actually just CT

Someone's made a Boo Boo by the looks of it....

It's amazing In the creepiest way possible....

You've turned into your avatar It still makes me giggle every time I see it

What is up with you boys today?!

As in remove it with hot wax?

Seriously, we're talking desperate times. I've been putting it off for weeks and my roots were criminal.

Thanks for the specifics In other news, I've finally ventured out of the house to the hairdressers.

Well that's reassuring!

Hurray!

I think the cats would freak out A man-servant wouldn't go amiss...

Bored and miserable to the point of madness after putting my back out earlier in the week and being confined to the house. The rug in the front room is desperate to be hoovered but I can neither push the hoover nor bend down to plug it in. Cripple

I think they should definitely ban smoking in cars when children are on board and at school gates/children's playgrounds. I'm more than happy to live and let live but if I've got the bairn at the park and there's a bunch of mothers puffing away on cigs (whilst normally ignoring their precious offspring) and dropping fag ends on the ground where the kids are playing, I just find it unacceptable. I don't think you can ban it in parks in general - where will it end? People can smoke in their own houses and that's all? But then should they be allowed to smoke if there are children in the house too? Whilst tobacco is a legal substance and the government are reaping the taxes from it, they can't really ban the use of it in 'public.'

Hmm, I don't work with any Eton twats - we're all just rebellious nurses who dare to strike. Maybe I watch it to remind myself that despite everything, I'm actually fine with not being a "high flyer"

Why do I put myself through this every year? Egotistical arseholes bickering like children about who did/didn't sell toilet brushes/hot dogs.

I'll PM you the now legendary 'Meenzer's Guide To Berlin' which does the rounds every time someone books a trip there
