"With apologies to Silver Foxy, noticed the last thread filled up.
As you were, keep swinging"
Mr Fox, you absolute legend. Thank you for doing that.
A special mention to Chunky Gent too, sterling work keeping the last thread going and engaging people.
It's what it's all about   |

What’s Christmas? Just means work goes mental and the shops are busy with people buying loads of food they don’t need.
Just been to the shops and Tesco was mobbed no trolleys had to ask someone walking to their car if I could have theirs.
Costco forget it couldn’t get a space on the car park and the queue outside just ridiculous.
Where do all these people come from? When do they shop the rest of the year?
Tesco is my equivalent local shop so I go there 2 or 3 times a week. I never do the traditional weekly shop as it is so close. It is always busier of a weekend but Christmas it goes mental.
Does this mean that Lidl Aldi Asda and the rest are empty with Tesco being so full? Do they go at this time of year as a treat?
The queue at Costco was bigger than the Covid queues, do people pay their annual membership to go once a year?
What will these places be like tomorrow when folks are not at work (well the majority as I will be with just Christmas Day off).
Then they’ll all be back Boxing Day to get sale stuff to pile on the mountain of stuff they already have.
I just don’t get it, the shops shut for one maybe two days. I feel for anyone like me involved in retail supply chain or retail in general. |

Aldi and Lidl are just as busy.
The winter holiday is traditionally a time of feasting with friends and family. That requires buying a lot of items we don't usually have and more of it.
I wonder how retailers would like it if the big Christmas spend didn't happen... |

"Afternoon all, “children” arrived home for Christmas …. If I’m honest, I love it and will miss these precious times.
Happy Christmas to everyone and here’s to a fun 2024. x"
It's so lovely to have all your family in one place isn't it. Won't happen for us but we're not disheartened
Happy Christmas to you too |

It's not a bump, but if I don't reply, the FOX's have promised to send round the geriatric police.
God damn it.....
Just because I can keep a woman occupied for a day in bed (the trick is to use good quality escape proof straps btw!!!  ) |

"I'm working all over Christmas, so no Christmas shopping for me.
Gifts via Amazon. Beer from Brewdog. Sorted."
Brewdog. Great choice. I'm old school and stuck with their IPA but some of the others are lovely. |

"I will be 56 in January not as active as I once was so I guess at a crossroads for me.Happy Christmas and New Year to everyone."
Looking from the perspective of being closer to 60 than 55, I would say I am having a better second half decade.
Much more sensuality than physicality, but just as intense and enjoyable. The key thing is a positive mindset. |

IPA, good choice. Originally conceived to survive the rigours of being exported to India for the troops, hence India Pale Ale, probably ideal for gifts by post. |

Over 50 to me is about learning something new, keep that curiosity going you had from a young age.
I recently mastered speed roping with cross arms.
Never did that when I was younger.
And I track sprint and getting amazing times.
