Roast Ya Gotta Hate

[AceAndy]

Gotta fit the inlaws in too somehow!

We've ended up with Xmas Eve dinner with Papa Homer, Xmas Day lunch with HBF's parents, Xmas Day dinner with Mama MEB.

Hope they are not all at your place or you will be busy.

Hosting is good and bad. Don't have to go anywhere but have to get the house ready and then clean up.

Yep pretty much line ball, tricky decision.

Its just a long day when you go to two places for Xmas. Thats why Boxing Day is going to be spent on the couch watching the cricket.

Not going to the G this year ?

Nah.
Not for the Windies.

Fair enough, they certainly aren't quite the team they used to be.

 

[JamisonRun40]

I think having family on boxing day is way better than christmas eve. Way more relaxed plus you can just eat leftovers.

Yeah unless the curator prepares a road then the game will last about 3 days.

Also means no drinking for whoever's driving

Our family's drunken christmas games of monopoly are legendary!

I don't really drink so that's not an issue

I just got over it. I'll have one or two glasses socially but I can't remember the last time I was tipsy.

Excellent, if I am ever in Melbourne I know where to find a designated driver

Can't say that I drink alot on Xmas day anyway. Usually try to pace myself throughout the time I have off.

You should be souping like a demon on Xmas day, your designated driver can chauffeur you around.

Nor do I really. I save it for holidays.

To put that into perspective, HR are forcing me to take leave at christmas because I have too much of it.

Those days are long gone AA.

Another mass shooting in America. So sad.

 

[Jatz]

And yet they'll likely still bury their heads in the sand. That country is a mess.

It is hard to imagine what incredible influence these NRA nutcases have over politicians over there. Really is so sad.

The problem is way deeper than access to guns over there. Gun control won't really fix anything

Disagree , it would be a good start.

 

[happydude]

A better start would be to not shove people on to meds that includes homicidal tendencies and suicide as a side effect to help get there through the week.

The throw everyone on pills over there coz it makes them money and nearly all shootings are committed by people on these medications.

I used to be in the same camp as you guys about gun control but the more I looked into it the more I can see it's bigger than the guns.
