What day is it again?
Published December 26, 2024
One of my favourite things about the festive season is revisiting all the great films and TV specials that have gone before. The vast array of choice is only growing with each passing year but there are some classics that will never not be aired over Christmas. Love Actually, the Vicar of Dibley’s Christmas Lunch Incident, and these unaired bonus clips from Peter Kay’s Car Share.
I’d have it every four years if it were up to me, like the Olympics… It’s just a load of stress at the end of the day. You put on two stone over two weekends, you don’t know what day it is and when your bins or gonna be emptied. There’s piss all on television, then they’ve got the cheek to repeat that twice.
Sat in silence with people you can’t stand to see the rest of the year, bloody panic buying presents for them last minute and you’ve got Amazon leading you a merry dance, not delivering parcels on time, hanging round GPO like an idiot in the rain.
And Kayleigh responds: “Bah humbug! I’m actually surprised you haven’t been visited by three ghosts!”
I’ve waited until Boxing Day to publish this post as the slightly grumpy vibe didn’t tally in with what a great day I had yesterday. But can’t disagree with any of his points… when DO the bins go out?
