Most boring day of the year

pat_cork

Hi, as I have nothing at all to do I decided to make a list of why I feel that Christmas day is the most boring day of the year.

1. There's **** all on television.
2. One has to put up with the family all day long.
3. Pubs are closed.
4. Having to put up with small children all day.
5. Having to go for a walk so I wouldn't get shouted at by parents for not going to mass.
6. Turkey

I'm sure there's more that could be added to the list but I can't think of anything as of now. I'd be interested to see what day of the year others think is the most boring and your reasons why.

Happy Christmas
Pat

Bank Holidays during the year have a similar vibe, and you usually get lashed out of it on the Tuesday at work the next day.

No wonder you are bored if you have to resort to the pub and television for entertainment. Happy Christmas

There's nothing on TV








I suppose a ride is out of the question?

I just watched Die Hard 1 and 2 while eating my body weight in celebrations and roses and in an hour Trading Places is on. That's a pretty kick ass day in my opinion.

Ssshh, in case the atheists find out

Nonoperational

I'd genuinely hate to think like the OP. One of my favourite days of the year.

Nice sleep in, then breakfast. Went for a run in the lovely weather, amazing dinner and wine, sleep on the couch for a bit watching TV, then go for pudding and coffee. Probably have a few beers now soon and watch TV by the fire.

For one day of the year I don't see how you could complain... I suppose I'm lucky to have family around etc...

the most boring day of the year is election day.

Real Life

its very boring and i just keep eating because i have nothing else to do.

Most boring day of the year? I'm guessing you're not working yet. The most boring day (s) of the year is Monday. Fact.

Tbh tis been a pretty good day for TV etc, its always nice to have one day that you do something different aka not very much, stay in cosy PJs all day which i never do, have a big dinner and sweets and just chill a bit

Hi, as I have had loads to do I also decided to make a list of why I feel that Christmas day is the best day of the year.

1. There's great stuff on television.
2. One gets to see the family all day long.
3. Pubs are closed.
4. Having fun with small children all day.
5. Not having to go for a walk . Unless you want to.
6. Turkey, ham, steak, wine, chocolates, cake, trifle, beer, pressies.

I'm sure there's more that could be added to the list but I can't think of anything as of now. But anyway, Christmass is magical and I love it.
Happy Christmas

2. You don't, you are an adult. You are allowed to do your own thing.

3. Boo hoo!

4. See #2.

5. Starting to doubt you are actually an adult.

6. Cook yourself a chicken.

I think it's a lovely day. Nice lie in, lovely brekkie, took it nice and handy cleaning, gave a hand with the cooking, had a few drinks, played with my niece and all her new toys, now heading out to the bar for a few drinks with the family. Can't complain, an I love to complain!

i had to go for a walk to pretend to go for mass ?
seriously , i can not fathom the logic behind that statement

and one thing puzzles me , they tell you to go to mass , yet they must not attend themselves , because if they did, they would see you were not there

methinks they wanted you out of the gaff so they could use the special gifts they got each other , al la trainspotting , just a thought :eek:

1. There's **** all on television.

Depends on your preferences. There are good movies on, it really goes down to whether you like them or not. Today I watched Toy Story, it might be for kids but it's timeless as far as i'm concerned. I also watched Death Wish 2, Charles Bronson killing scumbags, how can you hate that.

2. One has to put up with the family all day long.

True, i'm not that big into relatives visiting and all that, luckily for me I only have to put up with them for an hour though, because they don't stay long. Other then that I only spend time with my immediate family which is all i need.

3. Pubs are closed.

Bar tenders deserve to have a day off too you know.

4. Having to put up with small children all day.

Only saw one kid today, everyone else is all grown up now.

5. Having to go for a walk so I wouldn't get shouted at by parents for not going to mass.

Don't go to mass anymore. My mam hates it, but I laid down the law and told her I'm not going.

6. Turkey

Turkey And Ham = lovely.

Lightbulb Sun

Royle Family Christmas Special is on. Great show.

I don't get the pubs being closed argument, I might be alone here but I am drunker than I am on the average Tuesday.

It's Tuesday?? Who knew? And that's another thing I love about Christmas time. Mobile not ringing for work is just a bonus. WTF is there not to love??:D

I am bloated Turkey sangwiches finished me off

Are people boozing much today/tonight?

Myself, I've had a good auld skip. Bottle and a half of wine, couple of Irish coffees and 4 or 5 cans of Guinness. The fridge is actually getting emptied of drink I'll soon have to start on the Corona, which frankly is piss.

good riddance doesn't sound like you's will be missed

Christmas is great for most of us, can be a very tough day for people who've had a tragedy during the year or recent years and of course for so many kids and spouses it's a sh1tter of a day if you're in the house with a violent alcoholic or similar but for most of us it's great, it's like your insulated from reality for the day.

I reckon Good Friday is a fairly grim day for whatever reason tbh, it's not a holiday like Christmas is but has as apocalyptic air to it.

I know these flat screen tv's are crap you can't put **** all on them. I remember when you could nearly park a car on a tv. We used to have a lamp a box of tissues even the VCR could fit on top of the tv.:D

Most rural pubs open christmas day for a few hours after mass, and then again in the night for a few hours.

Namlub

You're old enough to go the pub, you'd think you're old enough to just say you're not going to mass without being afraid your mammy and daddy will shout at you. Just saying.

Aglomerado

I actually would love to have some small kids around on xmas day. Just seeing their faces in the morning must be magic. No kids in my family just an elderly aunt who gets invited to everything and moans when she doesn't have enough people fawning over her.
