Favourite Christmas Present

Forums New posts
I already know mine. It’s the same every year.

It’s that time when it’s all over. The outlaws fuck off hame, my sheepshagger BiL (who was rather muted yesterday but still had to brag about the glory days - even though he was still in nappies at the time) also fucks off with his vegetarian wife and, annoying as fuck 6 year old. My laddie disappears to his PlayStation and my wife puts some festive shite on the telly, the fuckin Wheel or some other highbrow ‘entertainment’.
I, on the other hand, retire to the sun room/conservatory, shut the doors and glumly consider that it’ll be the same shite next year.
My life is getting more like Al Bundy’s.
 
Actually, as regards real, physical presents, my favourite one this year isn’t even going to be mine.
My nephew, the hyper 6 year old who doesn’t do a thing he’s told, is getting a drum for Christmas. Yup. The BiL and his vegetarian missus, whose ideas on parenting were learned from books🙄 are buying him a drum. He’s going to drive them round the bend. I’m sooooo looking forward to this. Fucking mentalists 🤣. The only normal one in their house is the dug and he’s a very, very, very highly strung Springer Spaniel who never stops padding around the house and never sleeps.

Was gonni get my grandson a set of drums a few years back but my lassie threatened tae excommunicate me and her Ma. That was about 5 years ago and the Christmas before last SHE bought him a set. In fairness they were electric and he could bang away wi his headphones on and yi cannae hear him.

My BiL is fixated on the wee boy joining a pipe band as that’s what he wanted to do but was directed to the accordion by my FiL. He wants the wean to play the pipes but is trying to ignite his interest by starting on the side drum first.

On the other hand, I borrowed a cornet from my band’s cupboard and let the wean have a blow on it one day my BiL wasn’t there.
My BiL refuses to listen to brass as he says it’s not Scottish enough for him. Refuses to come and hear my laddie play anywhere. Fuckin arsehole.
Apparently we’re getting the wee boy up for a day over the festive period to watch cartoons and play games. I’ve told my psycho SiL there’ll be nae cartoons, I’m putting Pulp Fiction on 🤣. She’s fuckin bricking it as she’s not sure if I’m kidding or not. 🤣
 
Got a chuckle at this. Done a snappy shopper from Gilmerton and they are getting in the festive spirit.....
