trippinoneastereggs Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Ok things arent looking very merry for me at the moment. I'm at Home in the middle of fucking nowhere in quite possibly scotlands most backwards town. Just discovered none of my mates are going to be home for Christmas, so i have noone to go to the pub in, have a dissertation due in on the ninth so I am supposed to be working on that. None of my family are coming for christmas dinner on Christmas day so It'll just be my Mum, Dad and myself. Apparently half of my presents havent arrived, im skint and cant buy anyone else presents, my tiny single bed is possibly the most uncomfortable thing i've ever slept in, the heating is on too high, my parents watch the news all the time and there's nowhere to smoke slyly.I am beginning to see Scrooges point.

trippinoneastereggs Posted December 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 ah poor you, i never thought i would long to get back to Aberdeen at the festive period but the tortures of D & G have proven too much. Woe woe is me. And Nullmouse. (Although Dumfries has a cinema, couple of decent pubs a 24 Hour Shop, Off Licence and a big 24 Hour Tesco) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nullmouse Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Dumfries? *shudder* Is the White Hart still going?It was when I last made it in to town (my folks live just beyond the arse end of nowhere in the surrounding countryside). Believe it's still going, but not sure if there still putting on live bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeid Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Could be worse, you could be in Thurso, its kinda like Africa, but with the snow. No 24 hours shops, no cinema, no good off licences, no people worth socialising with(ok, there's one person to socialise with), everyone is either a chav or a redneck and well, its just shit!Christmas sucks!

Christmas doesnt feel as good as usual this year, maybe because of this motherfucker of an essay i have to construct. or maybe im just old. All my mates have graduated and have grown up lives which dont involve being in this shite hole. Next year im coming home on christmas eve and leaving the day after boxing day. Cant stand this cabin fever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
