And how come they don't work, even though they were grand when you took them down last January? What happens to them sitting in the attic?

My wife buys new sets each Christmas which I think is a bit of a waste but they are so cheap now.   49p in tescos or maybe it's Ikea.

You know what grinds my ears "people who buy new lights for their christmas trees every year rather than untangle them" they prob buy a new tree too when the rest of us couldn't afford a train ticket to Portydown ;) :P :D

I heard its because they are very cold from the attic and when you plug them in they blow. It's apparently meant to help if you leave them at room temperature for a while .
Anyway, long story short... is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling.

That makes sense, now that you say it.

By Christmas tree sits decorated in the spare room. Every year, after much nagging from the nephew, it's lifted in to the sitting room and plugged in, then in January it's unplugged and put back in the spare room. 
I highly recommend this method.
Which one of you bitches wants to dance?

I hate pricks with no manners. The bitch I was behind in the queue for a sandwich today was a real ignorant ****.  She asked for about 4 separate tubs of stuff in 4 different goes and each time she never once said please or thank you.  The last tub of potato salad she took off the girl behind the counter she was shouting for her son in a real annoying (fake) posh accent and didnt even look at the girl just snapped it off her.

As I was on my way to pay for my stuff Miss Cuntface was standing browsing the food with her trolley taking up the middle of the isle.  I push it away out of my road and don't think she was very pleased.  Immature? Yes. Satisfying? Most definitely.  Im very glad she didnt say anything because I would have lit on her. I hate rude people.

Was there today waiting in the car on my anutie, said f**k it i would go in and get myself something for lunch and a drink, i had four items, the woman in front of me had 18. Is she a f**king idiot? Then she proceeded to take out about five discount things that took ages, and then paid with her card as well. She also waited til after the payment etc before se bagged her stuff which meant the wee checkout girl had to do it. What a dick.

People who don't watch where they are going when walking down the street and walk straight into you, even though you side-stepped to avoid them to begin with as you could see they were too busy talking to their mate on their mobile phone to notice what was going on around them in the real world.
