I don't dislike Christmas that much. I'll settle for no Christmas songs before Dec1.
That would be fair. (I personally like that a couple of shops are already playing them. But I could just about wait until December.)

No, there's no story. Just every time someone starts talking, this person makes a concerted effort to swing their neck round and stare for a bit. There use to be a woman in our office, also, who would be doing the filing and then stop and turn round to listen. I mean, be discrete, people! Your hearing can't be that bad.
On at least two TV shows this weekend I have heard presenters "talking" in hashtags.

Perhaps you're just very funny, or interesting, or hypnotically beautiful.
Maybe you are the reasons men drew on cave walls.

It's probably because they want to feel included in the conversation and don't think you'd mind seeing as they're in earshot anyway?
If you wanted to snoop you wouldn't just stare... I mean not that I'd know 
This year's John Lewis Christmas advert pisses me off. It's like a bloody episode of The Animals of Farthing Wood with a bear noncing about to a shitting Keane song.

They aren't getting involved. They just turn round for about 5 seconds and stare at the people talking and then go back to what they're doing.
I also get pissed off by men who think that if they have long hair, it is, by default, amazing. No, it's usually just a lank, lifeless, shapeless, greasy mess.
That advert is nauseating.
I was nauseated. I also had a slightly wet eye.
Bloody manipulative bastards. *shakes fist*
When the bear appeared I was very much hoping that he would bound up the other little critters and rip them to shreds with his razor sharp claws, while sinking his enormous fangs into that blasted rabbit and shaking him in his blooded maw until the fresh fallen snow with splattered with arcs of viscous crimson.

I think that's exactly the response they were hoping for. Well done the marketing department of John Lewis!
Festive!
Every time you find a recipe online that's American they have to use at least one utterly ridiculous ingredient that you've never heard of and can't find out what it is or what the English equivalent would be.
Crazy bastards.
