Gemmill 42777 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I broke up yesterday, and am enjoying life as a free man until 4th of Jan. Got home last night and wrapped for 2 hours, and have done another 2 hours this morning whilst listening to a bit of Radio 2 - Chris Evans knows how to do a Christmas breakfast show. I'm the rock and roll Santa. Later today, I'll be delivering presents at relative's houses, then back home to queue up some Christmas type movies and start the wait for Santa a day early. What are all of you plebs up to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest You FCB Get Out Of Our Club Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 When I read the title I thought it was about someone getting divorced at Christmas. I've been ill lately but done loads of my christmas shopping in London at Bluewater (makes the Metro Centre look like the Jorvik Centre, Jarrow), they have this mint shop down there like wish we had one like it here. It's like Gap, but it's Jap called UniQlo, they only have them in the south, done loads of me christmas shoppin there. All me London family presents are bought and just a few more to buy for up here. Anyway break up for christmas at 1, should've been yesterday but was too ill to work, feel a bit better today, so gonna nash in to town and get the final bits and pieces. Roll on 1pm After various family pishin about, gonna get smashed for the Citeh game, load of us going out and will see some people I haven't seen for years, then being a good old day tripper to Spurs on the 28th first train out last train home, me sisters birthday and forgot to get her a pressie so I'll have to drop something off there.

Meenzer 15160 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I'm working till midday tomorrow, but there's likely to be not much on between now and then. Was originally going to work between Christmas and New Year's, but turns out I had a few more days holiday left than I realised, so I'm off until January 6th. Off to the fella's family in deepest Lincolnshire from tomorrow night to the 28th then Newcastle from January 2nd-5th, and much sitting around in my pants inbetween times. Expect lunchtime drunkenness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15160 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Oh aye and UniQlo is great. It's one of the few places on Oxford Street I can stand to go into because people seem not to know what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the few places on Oxford Street I can stand to go into because people seem not to know what it is. There's one on Regent Street too, but I went to the one in Bluewater, I used to love Gap, but the stuff in there is like modified Gap, really good prices as well some good brands, I absolutely love it, wish we had one in the Toon. Aye clothes shop Gemmill. It's that shit museum in York. That's right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac-Toon 1 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I don't finished til' dinnertime tomorrow. To be fair, I've not done nothing for 2 weeks. Got everything in for christmas just need to find a 'Boba Fett' helmet for my son. The tart ordered one from the internet but it's not turned up so going to have to make a last minute dash up town tomorrow to find one. Anyone have any idea where I might be able to get one? I've not actually seen Star Wars so don't know what it is I'm looking for really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a shop in North Shields town centre in the shopping centre bit that seems to specialise in models from movies and that. Think it's called Moving Image Toys - might be worth giving them a call to see if they've got owt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4267 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I finished on Tuesday - was supposed to be going out tonight to meet up with some ex-colleagues but a couple have cried off due to illness which means the whole things postponed until the new year. Don't go back to the 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc-mag 1 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Anyone who wore those tank tops to school (not the golfing ones) got asked whether their nan had died before she'd finished knitting the sleeves. To a man, mercilessly and on a daily basis. Until they got the fucking message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest You FCB Get Out Of Our Club Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Val Doonican would wear that fucker. On the plus side, it's cheap. It's got that 1986 Top of The Pops feel to it that much is true that top, but am telling you this now Uniqlo is the dogs bollocks, it'll be rammed when they open a shop up here.
