Default Christmas-tbh

Looking forward to it ! About 45 office and friends parties, curries, meals in general and nights out lined up over next few weeks and the Christmas tree for my area has just gone up (big one on the roundabout but no bulbs yet). But at the rate this year has gone , be here before you know it. First party (well 3 on the same night) 30th Nov. You gotta love Christmas

(I will be in the shops with the rest of you though on Christmas eve with a hangover buying presents , cards, sellotape and paper. I'll worry about that then). And SLADE at The Robin in Bilston on the 20th December. Oh yes!

Sorry, just checking my diary.lol

Yeah that will be good, getting pissed up, spending loads of money on pointless presents, entertaining distant family-eating far too much. Looking forward to it.

The only thing I'm looking forward to about Christmas is the Glühwein at the Christmas markets

After Christmas then the Ski season starts proper, so that's something to look forward too

Al, if you are interested, on Saturday 8th of December me and Guy are getting a steam train from Tübingen to Augsburg for the Christmas market. The train arrives at Augsburg Hbf at 11:30.
I am sure we could manage to sink a few Glühweins before heading back to Tübingen at 17:30.

Sounds good, but helping a friend move house on the 8th! Wouldn't mind joining one of your steam-train trips next year though!

Have you ever been to this one? https://www.hochschwarzwald.de/weihnachtsmarkt
Been meaning to go for a few years now, but never made it yet!

If you’re of the view that the characters you mention are equivalent to Jesus of Nazareth your unbelief comes as no surprise. Indeed, if they were, I, and my believing friend Loz, would be as a sceptical as you, Urban. Truth is even the most atheistic historians accept that Jesus walked the planet and that He is and was the most important figure in history. A radical message of love ought to be embraced and promoted. Dismissing it and suggesting His work on the cross is comparable to your mum sticking a quid under your pillow in exchange for a tooth is self evidently foolish.

See, even the Israelites had problems with Spanish\Peurto Rican immigrants over 2000 years ago

But you believed there was a tooth fairy, and a santa claus, until someone told you otherwise.
Neither of which you had seen I might add, but there were plenty of picture of santa knocking around, so thats what you believed he looked like, despite having never seen yourself

So your issue is with evidence. I get that. I present my case here:

I took one look at that and decided I can't be bothered reading that shyte.

God is sitting up on the big fluffy clouds, getting blown stupid by all the virgins 12 hours a day, during the other 12 hours, he's inflicting all sort of misery on the earthlings. Creating disease, causing disasters and the like
