Being the kind and generous person I am, and having been reminded that I am supposed to be 'thrifty' as a Scot, then I am happy to say I have satisfied both these demands by obtaining these 6 bottles of whisky to give to my equally generous friends. So far they have given nothing!
As I always say, a promise is a promise, and if I promise a bottle of whisky to someone I make sure they will receive a bottle of whisky. I fail to see how anyone could grumble.
The big box of nothingness that I send annually to my sister will be posted, I hope, tomorrow and nothing much else Christmassy requires to be done. An online shop for two or three people and that is about it. Most cards have either gone or have been written and an abundance of stamps remain. I am ready for when they go up in price again.
Of course abuse has come my way from those who have not yet begun their shopping. Tee Hee. There is no need for me to rub this in, but I do anyway.
Most men will of course wait until the last few days before working out what they must buy, and are then found asking women friends what they ought to do! I always suggest they buy her a new iron or a hoover, but for some reason they never work up the courage.
When I read a man had jumped the fence at the House of Commons my first thought was to ask which MP had tried to escape? It did cross my mind it could be a Lord from the House of Lords, though most could not jump over a step let alone a fence. Anyway, all of both Houses are making too much cash to run away these days. However, it turns out it was merely a member of the public, possibly trying out his right to protest. His reasons are as yet unknown but after being tazered, handcuffed and led away to a police van (no longer called Black Maria's') he was heard to mutter "My rights!" Indications are this was a 'stunt' of incredible stupidity, for a reason as yet unknown, and that any magistrate who eventually gets to hear his case will not be impressed with 'his rights.'
He must understand that amongst the posse of police officers who responded many carried guns, guns that a mad gunmen in the USA would give a great deal to possess. These officers also know how to use them, had this man appeared violent in response he may have discovered how well they could use them.
Silly boy.

Have you seen Mr. Thrifty's christmas present list?
I knew it could not be a member of the House of Lords, as there was only one of him and it needs eleven of them to leap...
The man shaming pic made me laugh!
