Do you get a veto like the UN security council then?

Only on grounds of whether or not someone is a frequent self-abuser.

'Apartment complex'. F'uck off, you w'anker.

I think that somebody has an apartment complex complex.

Not me, I'm just a little flat.

At least he didn't say 'a used condominium'.

What's the world coming to, Galted?

L*l out loud. I just can't understand how anyone would want to shoot a cat.

Me neither. What a champion cat.

The utter hubris of those dogmatic canine owners is beyond belief.

Fistmas Eve!

F'uck. No it isn't.

It's a local race for local people we'll have no felines here.

What's all this shouting? We'll have no posting here.

Happy holidays all

Oi, it's Merry Christmas you woke snowflake. This is a Christian thread, except for when Shah's radicalising us.

Happy holidays.

Happy winterfest, Galted.
Merry Christmas, everyone else.

That brings back memories. Wasn't it Winterval?

Anyway, happy winterval/fest.

The late Bird catches the worms.

The second mouse gets the cheese.

I'm not Carlton Palmer.

Sorry, my mistake. One of the kids said the Greatest had died so I wanted to be first with the joke.

Turns out it was Pele.

Good work. Have to feel a bit for Vivienne Westwood dying on the same day and being overshadowed.

Pele was undoubtedly the Greatest. No one else will ever win 3 World Cups and star in Escape To Victory.

He was also at home for the NY Cosmos on AstroTurf. The Greatest.

Been some year for celebrity deaths.

Olivia Newton-John, Ray Liotta, James Caan, Sidney Poitier, Dennis Waterman, Angela Lansbury, June Brown, Robbie Coltrane, Jerry Lee Lewis, Meat Loaf, Gorbachev, Hilary Mantel, Bamber Gascoigne, Bernard Cribbins, Vivienne Westwood, Pele, Shane Warne, Rod Marsh, Eddie Butler, and the Queen.

If I were a celebrity I'd be counting out the last hours of 2022 very, very nervously. Even more remarkably, none of us seem to be any of the above.

Not quite true, Tino died several times during the year but, in true Tino style, he didn't let it get him down.

I'm a bit worried that Julius might have been Pele or Westwood.

Good old Tino.

Julius probably was Pele, it would explain his absence on these boards from 1958-1970.

Only a little under 12 hours to go until the Kiddies' Fireworks at 9pm... then another agonising 3 hour wait for the main show.

Honestly, wouldn't we be better off using lasers, lights and drones?
Probably not. A bit more noise and smoke never harmed anyone or startled any animals.

Sh*t a brick, now Pope is dead.

I really hope they don't try moving Root back to bat at number 3.

Don't think Rick and the Saudis will be too impressed either, having to look for a new keeper.

The last death of the year is the celebrity version of the thread split.  Pope blinked first with a long time still to go, I reckon Ferrell will take it.

What a year. Too much cricket. It's hard to keep up with it all. I really don't know how I manage to do so.

One less Hitler Youth, I guess, Tino.

Might also mention Duty left Shinzo Abe off from his quite comprehensive list.
And the sweet Judith Durham too. He must be in a world of his own making.

Barbara Walters too I see.

Lots of local fireworks going off over my head here... about an hour ago. They seem to be getting more and more elaborate each year. Could of sworn I witnessed a giant sunburst from someone's backyard a few doors down. A few real fizzers too.

Everyone has their music cranked up to maximum volume. Me included. May as well join in the competition for most noise if that's what's required.

Have a great New Year everyone!
See you all in 2023... hopefully not Under the Sea.

Yeah Happy New Year to anyone on here who hasn't died yet

Hope all those overdone NSW fireworks didn't upset PJ's spider collection ?  Fortunate here we are insulated from the noisy b...ars in the CBD by some strategically placed blocks of flats , so peaceful enough for my wife to drift off to sleep by 11.30 and leave me to peacefully see in 2023 with just the cat for company...

Here's to a better year for the world in general ,eh ?

Happy New Year!
Anyone got any pointers on how to make the most of it? I think there is one left.

Just speak the truth, Ruth. Where there's no smoke there's usually no fire.

... and a large whisky I trust, Alfie.

Apologies for a somewhat serious Music post but thought this was worth sharing. 

An impromptu gig was arranged and played last night at nearby (to me anyway) Woking Leisure Centre by a localish resident with funds raised going to support his drink and drugs addiction charities. He played in front of just a few hundred locals who were in the know (I obviously wasn't one of them). Oh, and the guy? Eric Clapton. Pretty cool, I thought.

That's setting a very high bar for posts for 2023.

Don't fret, Galted. Soon bring it down. Start with this one -

Anyone else think Dry January is draging on a bit?

You do know that nobody is forcing you to opt in to things like 'Dry January' don't you?

It's dragging on a lot. I first did dry January a few years ago to annoy Galtova that I could do it so easily. I now feel obliged to opt in each year and each one is more unpleasant and seemingly longer.

I did a "Dry 1st January" ... That was quite enough thank you so have had a glass or two this evening...

All things in moderation , eh ?

If the glass or two contain wine I would put them in the fruit juice category rather than alcohol. Don't drink wine myself but have always viewed it as a digestive aid more than a means of solving life's problems.

Fist.
The moment the alarm clock goes off on the first day back after the Christmas break is the worst moment of the year.

Sicond, and I sicond that. Though, with the way the last few years have gone, I hope that doesn't tempt catastrophe.

Morning, happy new year and all that

Happy new year. I do buy into wishing a happy new year, but it is an odd thing to do for such a miserable time of the year. I guess we do it just to remind ourselves that things should eventually get mildly better.

Dry January for Superfly just involves eating his Weetabix dry rather than covering them with Irn-Bru.

I reckon he switches from Tennent's to Tennent's top for a month.

I do wet January to help the local businesses.

That's why I keep buying wedding dresses from Tino.

Miserable time of the year? I love January. Beautiful month. You know the worst horrors of winter are falling behind you. The days start to get lighter. It's a downhill road to spring and warmth. And the county cricket, Six Nations, Champions League knockout stages, NRL/Super League and baseball seasons aren't too far away.

Wonderful month.

So basically it's cold and lots of enjoyable sports aren't happening.

That's the beauty of it, it's no longer cold due to global warming.

I'm not the female wrestling channel, by the way.
