The Grate Deninis (alternative) Xmas message

Recommended Posts

To all my fellow forum bods (including the 2 bastards)... I hope that you have the time you desire over this festive period.

But--please take une minuten to consider---among all the paper and waste thats probably strewn around you right now--- to reflect on,firstly what Christmas is supposed to be about and secondly, to think, whilst you chore into that dry turkey leg, there are people with f**k all---all round the World.... and we waste tons of stuff.

Sit for a while, alone... and consider life. Why are we here. Is there enough LOVE?

Suck some breath in and realise how much you,we,everybody has been cultured into what we now call Christmas.

Gone are the days of being happy with a stocking with apples and oranges and maybe even a POUND NOTE and a porno mag.

Tell yer... none... NONE of my five kids would even be classed as spoilt.

No way. I might be an arse of sorts... but me bairns do appreciate stuff.

Only last night... The Boy J was talking to me about Xmas... prezzies an that..and genuinely said he wasn`t botherd what he might get, whilst his friends and peers were always talking about what their parents were getting them.. ie ££££s.

Conversely.... I was in town with The King of The World yesterday and he was buzzin his tits off.... running up to everybody saying "Merry Christmas.not long now!!" (with special intonation on the now).

Ha.. so impressed were 2 tuppences in LIDLS ..he came back after sweeping Aisle 2 with THREE QUID.... we chored it in Greggs on Single Parent Rolls and Gingerbreader Men!

(pause.. David Bowie,,, China Girl on iPOD--one of my favs..who played guitar?)

I on the road to being GATTERED..... The Ear of My Dog Milosovich is comfort to my right hand.

.. just melted some snow with my effluent.

Curtains... I cant f**kin stand curtains me. You draw them, open them. I dont--I just leave em.. open..like an orni-ment. A statement. as in like err bollocks to you lot.. I`m leaving me curtains open.. I dont give a shit if the TV license people come a-knockin---I`ll play the disabled,me bairns been kidnapped by a Josef Fritzel type and escape with a £25 fine, which of course is much better value that the £142 fee normally associated.

The Orient Express.... I`ve always fancied that y`know... but I have a recurring nightmare that I need to go... and my its been part of me for 15days log causes a major hazard between the buffet car and First Engine and we get stranded between Istanbul and Stanislav and Silke is forced to breast feed an orphan from Mongolia who is on an exchange visit.

Look--that simpleton Poirot has got jack-shit on me regarding PLOTS...aye.

.. oh.. O LORDY MAMA... its THE CHRISTIANS time on the iPOD so I will curtail now and take my leave and shed my tears.

... but please... read the first bit again..and spread some love eh.

xxx den

Stevie Ray Vaughan ????

The Christians !! Jings man - I hope you've just thrown that in as a 'nod' to Baby Jesus and your glorious Xmas's - their greatest hits album must be the most underplayed CD on my wall of sound.

Talk about a one-trick-pony, unlike the true-god Bowie..... but it's only personal taste, innit ?

May your God go with you Den, as a fingershortened Irish Comic used to say.....

Short Christmas message. Our water supply packed in on Christmas Day night so we had no water in the house and had to cancel a Boxing Day visit from my daughters. Luckily we've got it sorted this morning but having no water to cook with, make a cuppa or flush toilets even for 24 hours makes you realise just how much we take clean water on tap for granted.

So, a donation is on its way to WaterAid and I encourage you all to support that Glasto charity in the coming year.

Have a Happy New Year.

    • I honestly didn't know it had, I still thought it was where the view overlooked the lake and view.   I think my decision not to attend this year at least was justified. Biffy was the big draw but after Finsbury I knew they wouldn't play what I want to hear again and well work also got in the way. Believed interesting to hear if Libertines were any good as they were also a pull but Sunday did nothing for me really with all my acts on Friday and Saturday.

    • Knocked Loose have been announced for Wacken, that's them at Bloodstock as well   I think they'd headline over Malev 
    • I hate tradmill running with a passion lol. Yeah the 1km reps are the one along with hill reps. That's what I did last time.  It's very a very hot summer and job circumstances to stay at the consistent level I was for the marathon earlier in the year. I've got a full set of the main distance new PBs this year. 10k isn't a problem most days but even today I went out deciding just over 5 mile was enough between recovery cruise and steady.
    • There is also a solid argument from Seventeen already that not enough people actually care if they book them also.
