Christmas cheer has started, only it's not cheery. Ads bombard us and nowhere is safe. Last night Channel 4 was pushing Christmas dog food, because they're special and part of the family, because they, the dogs know it's Christmas and are going to feel left out of the festivities if there are not tin can shaped wrappers under the tree.
We've had Christmas tyres, for the car because cars love to celebrate the day the baby Jesus was born in a barn, and Dad will love them too. Christmas toothpaste for that extra fresh and minty Christmas breath. Christmas frozen food from Iceland, Christmas oven chips, Christmas Cottage Pie, Christmas frozen peas and Christmas baked beans.
We love Christmas.
The invitation to the Christmas party at Phil's work misspelt Christmas omitting the 't'. Finally, Phil said to his colleagues, they've left the Christ out of Christmas.
I am surprised how many people still buy into the Christmas thing. It serves to do nothing but throw jet fuel on a marketing frenzy. I can understand the family, tradition aspect but you can do that anyway. I don't love my family more round Xmas time.

Bah humbug. Tesco have had turkey's on special now, great heaps of 'em piled high. Found one that had on it 'best before 12 Dec'.
I've got bad news, by the way. You know your obsession, the washing thing? Fundamnetally fucked, mate. There's no way out.
The taps. Think about it ...
or how about the fridge door seal, lotta shit in those grooves.
I was a chef, fridge door seals are very old news. It's not so much the shit in my own space as the shit that floats in everyone else's.
