State of the Game

My mother has some friends here for sherry and mince pies, the average age is 85, the living room looks like a scene from Dawn of the dead.

I live in Scotland so slighting my neighbours by taking their glitter-infused Xmas cards and not returning the favour might mean they burn my house down or throw Brussel sprouts at my windows.
Yeah but once they have done that they will get over it.

Oh wait, my grandmother was scotish and no one held a grudge quite like her.

Second thoughts: Did you want me to send you some stamps... the servo I work at is also the local post office.
 
TIL grandmothers play Elite on consoles.


That would be great. Second class please because my siblings ain't worth first class postage.
Your mail has classes? Aussies don't really do class distinction.

All mail gets thrown in a box and picked up at the same time. We do have "priority" post which is more expensive but up usually takes the same amount of time anyway.

Everyone gets called mate, whether they think they are important or not.
 
Cards make me furious - they exist solely to guilt trip you in to sending them.
If I had my way I'd lob them straight in the bin but we have to peg them to a bit of string as some sort of totem pole reminder of people that are still alive.

My uncle usually deals with the decorations and decorating a wall with cards from the neighbours but his writing is reminiscent of a doctors so I'm left to write them out.

He even saves cards from prior years 🤷‍♂️
