    Hexus Antichristmas party (the event, that is, not the political movement).

    Tickets available now for all those who wish to get away from the whole sprouts & tinsel ordeal.

    Owing to the underground nature of this event, date & venue to be announced at short notice so listen for the whisper on the street.

    All welcome unless your name is Noddy. Or Robin. Sorry, that's just the way it is. You may be frisked at the door for baubles.

    There will be no festive food, onesies or xmas jumpers, no-one will be called upon to Keep Calm about anything whatsoever, and not a board game in sight - just egg & chips, non-seasonal music, and a round of pin the tail on Keith Lemon.

    Go on, leave the revoltingly cheerful to their mince pies & monopoly and join the fun.*






    * Just a turn of phrase, don't worry, there won't actually be any fun.

    It sounded right up my street until I realised that my street is filled with student houses so I don't need to go away to escape their Christmas cheer as they would have all gone home for Christmas. But thanks for the invite.

    Be careful you guys don't turn your backs on some potentially wonderful family memories.

    *Santa leaves to join those who know Christmas is more than mince pies and tinsel*

    I'll happily (read miserably) work the door as long as I have carte blanche to repeatedly punch the overly cheerful.

    Don't push it fella... While I do try and stick to the general rule of only viciously assaulting one imaginary being with folkloric origins per year, I will happily (read miserably) make the exception this year and forget about the lesson I had to teach Bigfoot this summer

    *facepalm* all that planning.. the secrecy.. WHY DIDN'T I THINK!! Timely use of a toasting fork, and all this could have been avoided.

    Oh well, seeing as you're here, sit down and have a packet of slightly dead Quavers. Any more of that clapping-along malarkey, mind you, and I'll unleash Knoxville before you can say 'Santa Baby'.

    Dear me, everyone seems to have forgotten about Knox's freezer (and his many chainsaws)

    Different generation chap, they don't understand that behind this miserable, lonely exterior lurks the heart (and toolkit) of a mass murdering cryo-taxidermist.

    Re: Hexus Antichristmas party (the event, that is, not the political movement).

    In the words of the hippy claptrap that I keep seeing on Facebook

    "Only you can make you happy"

    So, if you actually enjoy rejecting Christmas, and the time spent with your family, then sure, go for it. Otherwise you're just making your own life just that little bit worse.

    Unless of course you have a family like mine, then rejecting Christmas is mandatory to ensure continued sanity-ish-ness.

    This is bunny and friends. He is fed up waiting for everyone to help him out, and decided to help himself instead!

    Re: Hexus Antichristmas party (the event, that is, not the political movement).

    I don't particularly "enjoy" rejecting Christmas, it just comes with the territory for me and as for sentiments such as "Only you can make you happy" I can see how people could be of that opinion but frankly, I cannot concieve a way to fit more nonsense into a sentence using five words or less without Spike Milligans help.

    Re: Hexus Antichristmas party (the event, that is, not the political movement).

    Today I found a solution to Christmas music:
    1) ensure you have louder speakers than the mobile phone speaker the admin team are using.
    2) plug in said speakers to PC, boost all volumes to max and play that song from Frozen, Rebecca Black's Friday, Crazy Frog and similar songs very loudly every time they put on a distracting piece of Christmas song kitsch.
    3) Since lunchtime there has been no more music, and we've been able to work in peace and quiet for the rest of the day. Handy for today's deadline. Speaking of which back to the grindstone...

    I'm not anti-Christmas, but I do have work to do!

    Re: Hexus Antichristmas party (the event, that is, not the political movement).

    you can tell how much I care abouyt Christmas by the amount of thought ive put into this post.
    its taken me 3 days to thinko f something to write
    I cant be bothered to correct my spelling mistakes or even ut basic grammer into it

    its cold outsidfe, wet miserable and everythings just in a glum mood around here.

    I suppose bein glum and miserable to hjoin in with the general mood isdnt helping tings much. not even out any decorations up. if it wasn't fort her clock/date thin at the bottom right of the monitor I wouldn't even know what day it is.

    at least those 2 rolo yoghurts and 4 satsumas tasted nice.


    ad yes I genuinely do make this any mistakes when typing stuff, probably why I don't work on that General Register ID databse anymore
