All done. Feeling, sad, proud, touched and chuffed, all in equal measure with today. Met some great people who, sadly for them, have been dealt a shit hand by life and one refugee lad from Afghanistan, who was so thankful, it almost brought a tear to this swinging brick of a blokes, eye. The lads been here just over a month and no one will talk to him where his bedsit is, as he's 'foreign'. Gave the kid a lift home and he told me that this is the most conversation he's had in the entire month he's been here and how he enjoyed the music, the food but most of all, the company. Me and Mrs Butty have both agreed we will be doing this again next year. Photies of the small hall we helped set up and my trifle taking pride of place on the dessert table. It went down a treat, so chuffed with that, even more so as the Afghan lad had never had trifle before and he loved it. The most fulfilling and rewarding Christmases Ive ever had. Now to cook mine.

After an absolutely shit year due to losing my dad and having some more awful news a few weeks back, today has been a great one. Got engaged this morning, cooked Christmas dinner and it went completely to plan and everyone was happy and I’m now off to the pub. I though this Christmas would be shit but it’s turned into a very happy one.

Genuinely though, if this forum wasn't populated by such a funny, interesting, decent, caring and generally wonderful group of people as yourselves then there's no way I would have shared so much of my past 8 years on here with you all. So for that I say a warm thankyou and wish you all a very, very Happy Christmas from myself and from all of us round here at Shepherd Towers. Happy Christmas to The Mighty GF.

Living some 7,500 km from Liverpool probably means I'm never likely to be part of the inner circle of top posters, but some day it would be nice to meet up with everyone. On the other hand, they say you should never meet your heroes.... Been a tough year for me, so looking forward to a new year. All the best to everyone....and their pets.

So I'm supposed to be spending Christmas Day with my mother this year, our kidder has fucked off for a 3 week cruise round the Bahamas and it's left up to muggins here to look after the old girl. First thing this morning I phone my mother to ask if she has any bread, no answer. I phone back, still no answer. I phone her land line and then her mobile again, still no fucking answer. Fuck this, I get a taxi round. Finally get in after almost 30 minutes of buzzing the intercom. When I do get in, she's oblivious, fannying around on her computer. Deaf as a fucking post cos she hadn't put her hearing aids in. So I decide to make some bacon sarnies; I've brought my big frying pan and spatter guard, brought the oil and bacon, my ma tells me there's bread in the bread bin. And there is: 4 stale half loaves, each rock hard, and 1 unopened loaf which has black mould on it. Bin the fucking lot. Zero bacon, zero breakfast. Next is some tidying up. In my mother's little 2 bedroom flat and there's just assorted Shite strewn everywhere. Seriously there's just no fucking need for her messiness, just taking the fucking piss. It takes me the best part of an hour to clean her shit up, haven't even sat down yet. Next thing she's got for me is to fix her 2 Android boxes. OK, sleeves rolled up, takes me 45 minutes. Next thing I've got to make the dinner. Okay, done that. Finally get to sit down and watch a film, fancy this new one, Bad Times at The El Royale. Stick it on and after 5 minutes she says she needs to go for a shit, or should I say ANOTHER shit, because this is the 4th one in the past 4 hours! Then she starts giving me a blow by blow, or should that be a squirt by squirt account of her latest bowel movement. Just waiting for the Care staff to arrive and I am thoroughly fucking sick as a cunt. Can't wait to get back home, turn my fucking phone off and hit the drink. Happy fucking Christmas.

Not enough love for @Lee909 in this thread. He keeps a lot of threads ticking over nicely and has been in remarkably few spats for someone that’s been here for so long. Three cheers for Lee. Hic, hic, hooray.

This forum is a strange and beautiful place. Scared to name names because I'll forget a half-dozen people but @3 Stacks @Jairzinho @Boss @Numero Veinticinco and @Woolster are some of my faves. @Em City as well but minus half a point because I keep thinking he's a Man City fan, given his moniker of choice. @Hades is always wrong, but for the right reasons, and that has to be worth something. @Bjornebye gets huge credit in my book because every time he starts the match thread we win. Also @G Richards is a huge miss, aren't many of us "believers" on here and I hope he comes back. The rest of you are a bunch of filthy animals (@Champ excepted obviously) who should be locked up but still allowed to post here from prison because you're amusing to be around.

Woken up this morning by one of our moggies. Mr Faulty had decided my face needed a wash. Here beginneth the descent into hell. We have the attendance of Her Indoors vile scrounging niece (hereinafter referred to as ‘Bint’) and her Chav supporting boyfriend (hereinafter referred to as ’Cockney Wanker’). Seems Cockney Wanker is not coming to dinner but is turning up later. I'll turn the cunt up, he's pissed me off badly already. Updates will no doubt follow. I think I'll start on the ale early, to numb the pain.

Happy Crimbo from down under, yer filthy animals.

So, my five year old has spent months watching other people on YouTube play Mario Party on Nintendo Switch and telling us how great a game it is. She got a Switch with Mario Party today and also a much bigger Smart TV for the bedroom. The Switch is plugged in in the living room. She’s had two twenty minute goes on it and all she wants to do is go upstairs, put YouTube on the new TV and watch other people play Mario Party. Fuck sake.

My wife is working today (hospitals do not close) so we’re not going to spend it with her family in Bristol. Instead, I’m gonna spend the day with a bunch of London-based 30 something Aussies, stuffing ourselves with M&S food and booze. Merry Christmas to you all. X

This place is bloody ace. The TSOP lads are unbelievable. Red or Dead and Dougie helped me out in a time of need very recently with tickets too. Dynamite, Chev, TK for being great gaming buddies. Especially Dynamite, such a helpful lad. I don't know Champ, but she is the nicest person I've never met. Dickie Mint is one of the nicest people that I did meet. What a top lad. Mook, who I look forward to buying a few pints eventually for posting me over Led Zep cd's. NV, CD, Paul, Section.....bloody brilliant posters. And Dave U, he makes it all happen.

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals

Thin eye lids haha, hell of a disability that. "I'm on the sick mate. I've got Cystic Fibrosis, what about you?" "Thin Eye lids."

Yeah. It's a Roman delicacy. Half a lambs head. The white bit is it's brain which apparently is delicious. There is also it's tongue if you look closely. Fortunately someone ate the eye already cause that, I am told, is the best bit. So enjoy your Turkey and trimmings......

I like your nail polish, Scott.

Mate I'm putting you on ignore

SlugTrail is not as much of a cunt as he comes across

Merry Christmas. Hope it's a good one for all of you who enjoy it. And for all of you who find it tough, I hope you all get through it ok.

Merry Christmas all. I wish you and yours health and happiness.

You actually eat it? Surely that’s not normal. Bite it, spit it out, put some more bite marks in it and lash what you’ve bitten off into the bin.

God, the carrot. I’ve still got to eat the wretched thing before I go to bed

Bastard has been in about his presents already.

We obviously don't want them all tarred with the same brush so let's just point out that not all peados are Evertonians.

Thanks to everyone who voted for me as International Man of The Year 2018, which reading between the lines seems to be coming through loud and clear. “Not my words Lynne; the words of The Liverpool Way forum.” There are loads of superb posters on here. I’ve met some really sound people as well through the TSOP days out and hope to add to their number in future. Just thought this is an appropriate time of year, and thread, to say The Rev is sorely missed and was very well liked and respected by myself, and plenty of others. If you ever still lurk on here G, all the very best to you and yours mate. You brought a lot of soul to the site and you’re a class act.

So we're all set for tomorrow, fucking the family off(messin) and spending the day serving and talking and hopefully, having a laugh of sorts, with the homeless and those living on the poverty line. As a request(all good spirited) I was asked to make the trifle, they had everything else other than a trifle, so I made one, a proper one - bar the custard, which sadly is from powder, the rest, is mine, bar growing it. Did some homemade fudge as well. No beans, so can't be all bad for you non-beanist bastards. Merry Christmas you festive fuckers

The bigger picture for me is and has always been that the longer he stays as leader of the party the more chance we have of politics in this country finally becoming democratic. I personally agree with nearly everything he says but that’s not the point. He’s gave the left and indirectly democrats something to gather around. Politics in this country has never not been elitist. The odd working class man making it into Parliament hasn’t changed that. It’s run by suits in the background and always will be until the people in charge stop picking the candidates for each constituency. Tories, including people who don’t think they’re tories but definitely are, don’t care about that because at the moment everything is stacked in their favour. They’re happy for the economic argument to have already been settled. Low taxes on higher earners and minimum spending. They want the argument to be about the level of liberalism. The argument should be about everything which is what being a democracy should be about.

Lone wolf ligger.

Always have been for me. Actually, for everyone I know.

Fuck it, too retarded to embed gifs. Teaches me for being merely a lurker!

Right thing ? After 6 and a half hours of constant nagging I've had enough, left 3 hours earlier than intended and walked home. Blocked her number, enough's enough. Good luck to you mother, have a nice life. Next year I'll be off somewhere warm and uncontactable.

And extra marks for going to the effort of actually bringing in something homemade. Nothing says love more than that

No real effort in our house. There’s only me, Mrs Turdseye and three kids that have been stuffing their faces full of chocolate and sweets all day, so it was chicken, frozen Yorkshire puddings and pigs in blankets. We were meant to be having a leg of lamb as well but she got a hospital appointment through for Thursday and one of the things she can’t eat for a few days prior is red meat. The lamb will have to wait until the weekend when WE GO AGAIN.

I was on duty today. That’s the Mrs, mine is pretty much the same minus the meat.

Done in, need a sleep now.

Fuck him. The fucking cunt.

I wonder how all those #freecoutinho melts on Twitter are feeling now.

Merry christmas Code. That covers at least 99% of you and merry christmas Champ and Suzy,unless you are Code as well?

He fucking is

@aRdja Go fist yourself. And have a Merry Christmas.

Routine in our house since my ol fella would let us have a drink at home was always... Lie in, then start with a Bloody Mary, open the fizz when you’re cooking breakfast, lie on the sofa feeling stuffed listening to music or watching some telly. Then time dinner around the game, cold meats, pickles, bubble and squeak, left over roast potatoes and stuffing, crack open the red wine for with dinner. Watch the game, then play cards against humanity, poker, cards - shithead, blob, new market, rummy etc with a cheeseboard and port.

His family are reportedly in shock, one stunned relative said "I really don't know what to say, I never would have guessed he was an evertonian, I guess you never really know someone." another stated "It's a stitch up, they have the wrong person it must be. I can't believe this it's brought shame on the whole family. He's never supported Everton and we can't understand why people are saying this"

"Ted, did you say Jack had a trial for Liverpool." "No Dougal, Jack was on trial in Liverpool."

Well Everyone at work left early. I'm in work now. Xbox on, there may or may not be a hip flask in my bag, full of park royal that goes splendidly in a orange and ginger tea. Actually there definitely is not a hip flask if anyone is reading

Take the crying, injury feigning dickhead back? Fuck him.
