I put one in our living-room and none of my flatmates seem to use it :(

And I just realized Argos made me p*y £12 more than indicated on my confirmation order email. SuperOctopus is gonna take the law into her own hands.

This is going to be a quiet Christmas because I will not be able to go home. Families make Christmas special. I hope there is an event that falls exactly on Christmas day so I will have some company.

This may be unlikely as cinemas & theatres do tend to close on Christmas day but I'm sure if you look around there will be other things to do. Good luck in finding someone . . . . at least if you come online there will almost certainly be people !
Preferred cinemas: Best: Glasgow Quay, Glasgow Braehead, Glasgow Renfield Street, Glasgow Fort & Paisley
Others I'd go to: Glasgow Showcase Baillieston

Films already booked for:

Hope to get tickets for: Every film if they come to my preferred cinemas

I stay too in London for Christmas, I don't go back 'home' (= France, with my family), and as I said I'll try to plan a Lonely Hearts dinner... if you wanna join, you're welcome :mrgreen:

Where are you originally from, Beate?
It feels like there's gonna be a FMUK Xmas party on/offline. With lots of cake to comfort us..

Oh cool! Ich spreche Deutsch! (uuuh actually no, I used to, but no :( )
It must be lovely in Winter, but hard to come back home when England freaks out and stops every single train or plane when there a 2cm of snow :/
