UK or England thread?

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you’re all having a good time. I’m spending the big day with my close family as usual. Luckily, we all get on very well and my family are very supportive of me and my needs so Christmas is generally a happy time for me. I realise that’s not the case for everyone on the spectrum so I hope that those of you who do find the Christmas holidays more difficult still manage to enjoy yourselves in whatever way you can.

My uncle said 'we have a long history with Poland'.
I bit my tongue rather than mentioning the war... (Fawlty Towers reference. For those who don't know my uncle's from Germany and he meant Germany have)

Seriously though this is the best Christmas I've had as an adult or teen.

I had a pretty pleasant day too.

Although there was some sadness attached.

Is Happy Boxing Day appropriate?

We don’t have Boxing Day in the US—though Canada has it.

I don't think we say it but I could be wrong?

But Happy holidays to you anyway Mr Kraftie.

And to you, Dragon Lady with Toolbelt.

Was really looking forward to today and was going to do some experimental writing. Started out fine with some

reading and then...had f*****g meltdown. Why? i mean it's not like there's a chance I'm going to enjoy it, so why

the f**k did I do it. Why, as it started with a bit of ranting about my mother did I not go "Stop it you idiot, or you

will ruin the whole f*****g day!"

Now I feel like an idiot, I had the whole day to myself, I didn't need to deal with the things that made me anxious

today, I could have left them for another time.

I am ok now though other than feeling I wasted Boxing Day and I have made my first resolution.

Scottish comment not English one but whatever.
My life is so rich in symbolism that I definitely bought some jelly this morning which I cannot find right now...

Scotland was in the UK last time I checked.

What is the symbolism in not finding your jelly ( jelly as in jam or jelly as in jelly and blancmange ).

Is the world trying to tell you you must not eat jelly ?

It's a football thing lol. We celebrate with jelly and ice cream. Too cold right now for ice cream.
The (football) world is telling me I shouldn't be celebrating right now. I also lost the iPad so I'm listening to this on the radio...
Losing derbies really hurts, I'm glad we don't do it very often...

You might have to keep checking every six months if Sturgeon and Co continue playing silly beggars....

My brother is up in Glasgow atm visiting his in-laws, he tried getting a ticket for Ibrox today but couldn't. I just spoke with him and he watched it in a pub near the stadium and said it was crazy, he loved it.

It can be tough getting tickets anyway simply because of the 'popularity' (not sure if that's the right word).
But 740 or whatever it is wasn't enough away tickets... It better be the same the other way around or it isn't fair.
I haven't been to one. I feel like it's probably not the best place for an autistic person due to the intensity of it all. And again it's always hard to get tickets.
I used to like going to Celtic park, I'm really annoyed they ignored me with the stupid lights thing.
And Glasgow in general is nice. We've stayed in poorer areas (Parkhead) and posh ones (city centre) and always had nice times.

I just had my new glasses arrive today and they already seem to be effective , I don't know what they'd be like with disco balls though.

At first I was racking my brain for a Scottish company called Sturgeon and Co and why they would have an impact on Scotland Then it dawned on me I so glad this wasn't a real life conversation. Then again I'd probably wouldn't care if it was with you IRL.

Trying not to talk about politics online next year (I do have my own opinions on most things but I don't find online political conversations help), however... they all remind me of fish. There's Sturgeon and Salmon(d).
