It is annoying to me how this country seems to be getting ever more PC mental.
I can understand what your saying Mr C, its another of the points that highlights the problems this country faces.
We are becoming a multi cultural society and as such that is fine, however when certain factions of the multi cultural society take offence to traditions, festivals and the social culture of the country they now inhabit this leads to just these type of problems!
Christmas is now regarded as the holiday or festive period in many offices and workplaces throughout the country as the very word itself can be deemed offensive as you mentioned. The banning of exchanging Christmas cards at work for fear of upsetting certain cultures is also common place nowadays.
The people who claim to be upset or offended by these things "IN MY OPINION" (just thought id capital that for the nit pickers and thread dissectors) could be seen as over sensitive and even radicals to whatever faith they embrace.
I don't get upset when employees from other cultures have time off work or are given special dispensation for things such as Ramadan amongst others.
It is seen as accepting members of different faiths into our society to allow them to come into work late, go home early or have extra time off, that is then expected to be covered by the people who are not celebrating these other cultural festivals.
Is it unfair for people from different faiths to accept that we have long standing traditions, social and cultural celebrations and so forth when they are living within a country that a majority of the population support?
I think this thread will probably get a few peoples backs up, there will be the usual overly PC brigade jumping in who refuse to see what most people on here so far are trying to say then it will get locked. Who know's but i understand what your saying if that helps mate!!
For me (mr srne) its got to be birds eye packeted brandy sauce and the driving home for christmas song by chris rea.

Try contacting admin then they can tell you rather than us trying to surmise as to pics we cant see or no nothing about, just a thought!
First post Iv started for a while so here goes....
We were discussing yesterday what we were going to do on Xmas eve this year and suddenly realised it was exactly the same as last year and the one before!!
Although we are young, impossibly gorgeous and very sexy people (honest), me and miss srne rarely go pubbing and clubbing :shock:
We both have the day off work on xmas eve day and are going to stop in and watch the same 4 films we watched last year and the one before, get in the same pizza same drinks (non alcoholic kiddy pop) and push the settes together and bring the quilts down for an all in sweets and films fest.
Pretty sad we realise for two young sexpots but it has sort of become an every year tradition and we were wondering,do any of you guys have any traditions or routines you do year after year and what are they?
I dont like people from the north east but then, I suffer from self-loathing!!
Welcome to the jungle, Marya's jungle where the climate is hot and sticky and there is no escape when you are in her sights.
Have fun!!
To reiterate what woohoo said earlier. I dont know Mr and Mrs BB but as a community member I wish them all the best, a hope that Mrs BB recovers and that they both know people are thinking of them!!
we are looking forward to the night and just wandering are tank tops on the allowed dress code?
