Oh, dear… I’ve had this exact experience some years back. More than half of the family was felled by turkey dressing that was not cooked to the proper temperature. Nobody blamed the cook, but that was the last holiday hosted at my wonderful mother-in-law’s house. She was truly the best you could ask for, however it all became too much work for her later years. Miss you, Reba 🥺❤
Funny you mentioning National Express. I was once on a hair-raising journey from Wolverhampton to Manchester in the early 00s (trains were off due to rail works). The driver was tired and yawning from the beginning, and I was sat just behind and across from him. Watching his head flopping about like a jester's bladder on a stick (and delivering an occasional discreet wake-up kick across the aisle) was quite the experience and made for a long, long journey.
Food poisoning, no fun. Got it years ago. It hit while i was at the gym on the treadmill with my wife but at the time fiance. No fun indeed and was thankful the inlaws made up the lounge for me to stay the night and grabbed a bucket. Took a while till i could eat a chicken and bacon sandwich. If someone dislikes christmas, food poisoning works to get out of christmas 🤣 Home handy man work, been a few times I've wished I called somebody to fix it.
What-ho-ho-ho, TBWesq! I remember there were three adults in the house to help with cooking Christmas dinner one year. Unfortunately my wife was laid up in bed with a fever, I had a back problem which meant I couldn't bend (and I was on very high-dose painkillers so couldn't think well either), while the third had never cooked a big roast dinner and was on the wrong dose of psychiatric drugs for their condition at the time. We muddled through with timings from my wife, me directing, and the third doing all the physical stuff. And actually, in the end it was a success. Unlike the year we all had COVID...
I'm sorry that happened to you but, nonetheless, it created the theme for a brilliant song. My friend, the late comedian and musician, Dow Thomas would have loved your sense of humor and musical merriment.
Eleven years ago, I had the early shift on Christmas Eve. I was dressed up extra-fancy for my shift. Then I started to feel some tummy rumblings. I quickly learned that a cummerbund, braces and tails are not something you want to be wearing when you are experiencing lower GI issues. Needless to say, I had to cancel Christmas Eve dinner, skipped Christmas Day with the in-laws, and called out the day after Christmas. We waited a week and had a combined Christmas/New Years celebration instead.
Had something really bad to eat, quite wierd 'cause it tasted neat, it all came up and all come out, bit baffling how that came about, whatever rhymes with merry christmas, merry christmas! Thank you for the continued entertainment, best wishes.
Ooft, I fell asleep on the last bus home as a (mid) teenager. Somebody woke me up at my stop and I managed to stagger home before crashing again. I've no idea if it was a good Samaritan, or the bus driver telling me my fare ran out! Either way, I got home with everything I set out with.
I've not had food poisoning but I did get Covid for Christmas day last year and being the season of giving I managed to pass it on to 3 others before I found out I'd got it.
One Christmas Day many years ago I was ill (not self inflicted!). That evening, my Mum came up to my sick bed and said that it was a shame that I’d missed my dinner and presented me with an entire Christmas meal …. Liquidised into an unappealing grey goo (or soup as she described it 🤔). I did my best to thank her before rushing to hug the loo again 🤮.
I still love Christmas, but one thing I dislike is that my family moved away from traditional food... one year one of my aunts even got some crappy caterer food.
Personally, I don't hate xmas. Or, even just don't care. I feel I happen to belong to familia and community who haven't lost memory of the the origins or even the xian meaning through the ages. What I won't be a contribution to, is the corporate profiteering over a holiday, very few few people actually understand.
Oh, it honestly takes Five minutes to change a toilet seat. I don't know what that's about. But, you do have to have the proper tools. Everything made of plastic now, you can't just use a proper wrench. LOL

I've spent an hour of life setting up a robot vacuum cleaner I'll never get back, so BAH HUMBUG to you!
Thomas, so sorry to hear about your experience last Christmas. Here's wishing you a very happy Christmas this year!
What are your Christmas plans?
I got food poisoning some time ago. knocked me *down* for a month, and left me shaky for another month. I empathize with you, bro.

This sounds like one of those "terrible" mini-songs the DJs play to be funny, that always seem to be bangers.

How does comment bingo work?
If you tell us your prediction in the actual video, can't someone just make you hit it every time?
Many people write their comments before finishing the video
Since food poisoning is not on your Christmas list then, pray tell, what is?
THe gift that kept on giving - I guess. So sorry to hear. NOt pleasant at all but you make it sound of funny
