Evening dude.
My washing machine is once again fucked, and it has suddenly become freezing cold here. Also, the shops are full of Christmas stuff and this displeases me greatly.

I too have been made aware of the sudden cold by having to rapidly switch coats to something warmer at an alarming pace. At least the Diwali festival is warding off Christmas over here for the time being.

Permission to bask in the warm smugness of central heating?

Evening Stimpy (I always hear your username in the appropriate voice)
I do have central heating after a fashion; little tiny storage heater things that either blast out all the heat in the world or do fuck all. Today is apparently a do fuck all day, so I'm wrapped in a blanket.

I too can has central heating
but I'm at the mercy of my landlady. It's up to her to decide whether or not I turn into a block of ice at any given moment.

A bit like my feet at the moment!
I accidentally emptied the hoover over my slippers some time ago and they haven't been the same since. Fuck knows why I took my tights off...

Tights should not be removed
They feel so nice and clingy on the legs... do not remove until the last possible oppertunity!

That they do.
Got to admire any job where no one cares if I turn up in fishnets...

Oh, not here.
The shops are full of family selection boxes and advent calendars and so forth... I am not ready for Christmas and won't be for some time.

I'd suggest hiding somewhere with a large Asian community
Or some other culture that doesn't do Christmas.

I spend December pretending to be Jewish
so I don't have to bother... then I remember my family are half-Catholic, half Welsh Chapel.

Of course, I do get to go to Lille at some point this December with work so I may have to de-Scrooge.

I once told a die-hard Christian I was giving up religion for lent.
Unsurprisingly this wasn't met with belly laughs. Or even a smile.

Some of them take these things well, others look at you like you have sprouted a second head.
I worked with a lovely, non-forcing-Jesus-on-you Christian lady and it was like a breath of fresh air.

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, I've met some lovely Darwin disbelievers in my time
and had some fantastic discussions with them.
Just this one in particular was very jovial and jolly and yet quite clearly couldn't take a joke. Bless.

My crowning achievement was making a Baptist nearly swear.
This was when I was telling her of the insanity of Stalker Girl, and this girl never said anything mean about anyone, ever. She said "She's ... a piece of work!"
