Respect letmein.
For the past blah-blah Christmas days I used to visit my best mate.....my Brother.
We used to piss Val off something rotten (his wife (in a nice way)) by playing U2 out at Max volume, play on-line Bingo and consume a wee bit of Alcohol
2 years ago after that C*** of an illness (that took Both my parents and a Sis too) Cancer took Bro on Christmas day, the day we really united on.
My Mum was the same...though her only 'binge' was a Harvey's < A glass that is NOT a bottle! lol
Dad popped to the Pub, we was lucky it was a great place and all the families met there for the 2 hours they were open.
I so agree with what you say about FME my friend, though i'm so sorry to say a fair few don't view it our way.....it's a case of "i'm ok Jack"
-------------------
This isn't just a Christmas thing as I'll be having a good session with some friends, it's a 'why is it always at this time of year it's highlighted'?
I'll walk 4 miles to the Cemetery Christmas morning for Mum, Dad, Sis and a Bro then who knows. ?
I LOVED fme, but this was taken away from me mate, by some that just can't think outside the circle.....
Believe me, this mutual hobby really kept me sane and on-board....I'm gutted that it's been removed from that 'family' we had by a few
Stay happy my friend....
