I love Christmas. Those same 20-odd songs they play year after year are all lovely, not screechy and bloody annoying. My husband doesn't turn into an overexcited five-year-old every November, wanting a stocking, a big tree, presents and lots of 'festive' food that isn't at all just normal food packaged with snowflakes and hiked in price. I find going shopping to be great fun, with all those other people in the way, it's wonderful.

My colleague, who has got a place in VLM. I'm pleased he's in, as far as he is concerned, it is the only marathon in the world, so good on him. He only ever runs when he gets a place in it, the rest of the time he doesn't even think about running. I could do without him giving me a daily update on his training and yet not once asking me about my running. I did 15.4 miles at the Somme Centenary event two weeks ago, he's not interested. I ran 10 miles Sunday for fun, he's not interested. He instead tells me that ran x amount of miles yesterday in x amount of minutes so clearly he is on for a sub-4 at London and he assumes I must be interested because he is so much faster than me. Whatever. We all know someone faster, we all know someone slower, try not to boast about your PB when my husband's is waaaay better than yours for a start and I have friends who win 100 mile and 24 hour races.
That's what grinds my gears today!

Seratonin
People who make sweeping statements about people with small penises that upset people with small penises.

Brilliant! I should feel sorry for him really, he's stuck doing bloody London, I'm off doing Windermere a month later.

I like the christmas rant.
I used to have a problem with work dos, they were usually bad until the arseholes left and the people that liked eachother were left in the pub (this used to take 2 hours or so).
The xmas bit I have a problem with is family.
The nonsense competition bewteen my mum and dad and OHs' mum and dad, actually it he her MUM and my DAD. Are you coming to see us at Xmas, OH it WON'T be the same without you, can't you visit us, what about new year, what about in between new year and christmas you MUST come and see us at some point.
This is in stereo from both sides and takes no consideration of OhHs timetable leading up to and across the whole of Xmas and the new year, people are sick and in hospital 24/7, so consequently she has to be available and on call for blocks of 3-4 days 24/7 and travelling around the country after 3 or 4 batches of that is not fun, there are 50 other weeks of the year, when YOU, as retired people, are perfectly free to visit or be visited.
