Peace and goodwill to all men........

I'm not sure if it's just me, but I definitely don't get much of either over the Xmas period. It has led to soooo many issues arising I've lost count.
A close friendof the ma'am-sab has been here all week too. They've never seen the series 24 (trademark - probably) - I'm on the fourth series - so I introduced them to the first series on DVD. It's been a constant tirade of 'why him?', 'Who's that?', 'What's CTU stand for?', 'What happened there?', and many others......... IN STEREO!
I'm obviously mad, having two german girls in my place for the entire week - so deserve all of this I suppose.
If I could organise my poor scrambled, post traumatised wreck of a brain into any sort of semblence of normal operation I'd re-count the entire week of trivial, banal and downright bizarre arguments I've found myself in. It's simply too much for me to manage at the moment - I'll try later maybe.

first and foremost - apologies

I'll start this by stating immediately - this may sometimes seem like plageurism ( spell check! ) if you ever visit the linked site www.thingsmygirlfriendandihavearguedabout.com - it isn't meant to be but it does strike me that I too have the same or very similar arguments with my German girlfriend. I've spoken to a couple of friends - one has a German ex, another still with his girl in Köln - and both sympathise ( but agree ) on the trials and tribulations of the author ( both here and the linked site ).

Today - a minor disagreement stemming from a film 'Brassed Off' - leading to the Thatcher discussion and of course subsidised coal imports which I foolishly informed her came from ( amongst other places ) Germany. - Dig a grave - as they say.
