1.1.14 Year End Disposals

Now that we've arrived at 1st January 2014, I am looking forward to the disappearance of certain things.  In particular, I'd like to think we are done with:

• The term "festive", which has been used descriptively for just about fucking anything and everything that's occurred in the last three weeks.  Aside from festive drinks, festive programmes, festive events, festive music, festive food and festive festivities, we've of course been in a so-called "festive period" for about two weeks. Arguably it might stretch beyond today, as many people have Thursday and Friday off as well.  I am hoping, though, that after today I'll not hear reference to this nauseating term.
• Lindt adverts on television, and any use of the 'word' chocolatier, which is unwarranted at any time of the year.  I wonder if I could launch a rival brand of chocolate called Cundt.
• Carols.
• Animated films.  Every other fucking offering is an animated version of some tripe that needn't have been animated at all.  Lets hope that the 200 or so offending films are put back in the lofts of the television companies.
• Crackers.  Not the sort useful with cheese, but the rather pathetic efforts that we buy by the million and which bring complete and utter disappointment.  Why do we waste money this way?
• Lists and Countdowns of things.  The 50 best this, the 20 most entertaining that, and the 100 worst of the other.  It is not so much the actual content that causes an issue - it's the useless cunts they wheel on screen, who then proceed to tell us about their thoughts on the act/incident/matter - as if they haven't been played a clip and then filmed talking knowledgeably about the fucking thing.  Last night, on a rerun of the 50 best stand up comedians, I was forced to listen to the fucking views of Eamonn Holmes - what the fuck?  He is not funny, never manages it even when he thinks he's trying, and has no business being in-fucking-volved!
• Cunts telling me how to cook Christmas food, make Christmas decorations, and what drinks to drink.  I didn't need any sort of guidance, thank you.
• The increase in charity adverts begging for £2 to £5 per month, hoping that we'll say 'yes' to them all, and at least cover the cost of the adverts!  They are wasting money competing with each other!
• Harry Fuckin' Potter.
