Sorry to hear that mate. Hope it is sorted soon. Have had a few awkward breakdowns last year or so and it's a pain in the arse either being in the middle of nowhere or the garages being shut.

Open the final window in my massive Martha Stewart Advent Calendar.

Put the finishing touches to my tree using Martha Stewart's tree decorations.

Wrap my presents in Martha Stewart's Wrapping Paper.

All while having the first 15 seconds of The Next Episode on a continuous loop at ear-splitting volume.

Happy Christmas, Marthas.

I’m like that.
Back in the 80s working at the Royal Insurance it was my favourite day of the year. Half day, start drinking in the office about 10.30, club bar open for an hour at lunchtime with a great atmosphere, the Royal club hired somewhere like the Conti in the afternoon, went there via a couple of pubs. Back home for something to eat early evening then the local.
I drank more in one day than I’ve done in the last 3 months.

Today mainly chopping veg and tidying the house.

I miss being young.

I was at the royal 88-91 before I went back to uni.

Some wild Xmas parties in that time.

Glory Days,

My Mrs worked in the Royal and when I first moved here I used to have one in the Mayflower then go and met up in the Social club and follow the same plan...We would have no doubt been within 15 ft of each other at one time....

Today is my last Xmas eve in work before I retire at Easter...last one out,locked up, came home, list of chores handed to me by the Mrs,made up the spare bed before our kid comes over...About to open a Bitburger keg then party bits and Red wine, Bob and Paul and chill......You know...I dont mind ...Tommorrow will be a tough day as its the first one without any of our parents around but its not too bad.....I count my blesssings

Lurking proudly for years ..If im not here Ill be doing it on Bluesky @Paulow4

Re: Christmas Eve plans

Real glory days. Loved it.
I worked on the bar 84/5 so probably served you and your Mrs.

Sorry to hear about your parents. Hope tomorrow is ok for you.
My MIL and uncle both died 2020. They were the last of the generation above us. A funny feeling to be the oldest.

Re: Christmas Eve plans

You`d have served Mrs O...and just missed working with her...she was a couple of years before I think ...I was around 86 onwards...Yeah its weird being the last now both Mums died this year and that we also now "orphans".....The memories keep you smiling x

I worked at the Royal 80-88, did a couple of years working one night a week behind the bar. A lot more time the other side of it.

I used to get the Christmas Eve tickets when they were in the buzz of a day time, would be ruined by the nighttime

I wanna moonwalk son but life’s a shithouse

Re: Christmas Eve plans

I dread to think how much I drank over 13/14 hours. Wake up feeling fine and go for a run.
If I drank more than a quarter of that now it would take me a week to recover.

Re: Christmas Eve plans

Christmas Eve was the best drinking day of the year, bar absolutely none.

If you can find a city boozer up and down the country still open after 6pm today, you're doing well.

Pathetic scenes.

Re: Christmas Eve plans

Games gone mate , used to have to go bar in Las iguanas in Spitalfields as couldn't get in any pubs round here .

be about 10 people in pub today

Been to Harlech beach for sunrise this morning, about to do the rounds now - see my gran, uncle, auntie, then out to the local at 4ish to meet mates I’ve not seen in a while. Will be having a Guinness at 4 on the dot hopefully.

Home for tea around 7, will have a couple of beers with my dad.

Lovely part of the world.

We are off to Dyffryn Ardudwy for a week in January and will wander up and down that coast enjoying the EMPTY beaches.

Train over to Fairbourne one day and walk back over Barmouth Bridge. Beautiful!

Re: Christmas Eve plans

Lovely stuff. If it’s dry you should head up to Coed Garth Gell, a fairly gentle walk but amazing views of the Mawddach Estuary when you come out of the trees at the top.

We were literally the only people on Harlech beach this morning, absolutely amazing.

Have a good trip mate!
