Carol Singers

[Jericho]

I am sick of Carol singers. For the second year in a row I have a note on the front door saying "No more non-charity carol singers please"

I do not mind a 10 person choir, singing and collecting for charity.

But I get too many yobs coming round saying
"We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Good tidings we bring,
to you and your KING,

we wish you a merry Christmas,
And a happy new year"

It should be KIN not KING you bloody idiots. I don't have a KING you thick git. KIN is another word for family. If you are going to come round my house begging, at least get the words right.

Or try singing it instead.

Or try a proper carol like Silent Night or something.

carol singers dont come to my door

1. we wont answer if there is a knock
2. we just stand there, listen to them make a prick of themself and then close the door giving them nothing or to take the piss - a carrot (extreme case has been a rollmop herring)

Charity singers are different, occasionally if we ever do get them, we'll throw some dosh in

I have to agree with some of what you say there Jerico.....However I think all carol singing door to door should be banned...
let them sing out side other buildings and shopping centres.
Here we live near some flats and we get all kinds of knackers (undesirable types) trying to sing...it's just an embarrasement on both sides...
also I hate it when people think it's ok to knock on your door and sing at you when it's not wanted.
I'll have to try that note on door thing saying "if you singing then f*ck off!"

to right its bloody annoyin! Were i live mostly the cold and the wind and the rain keeps them at bay but when they come out its all the time! I personally have resorted to either
1. Givin them eggs
2. Not even botherin answer the door

!
I cant understand why anyone would want to go round makin an ass out of themselves and then askin for money afterwards its just a disgrace!]

I trust nobody. I think that all of it should be banned. The singers, the Trick or Treat, yes the lot.

[P88]

let them waist their time, let them sing their shit and when they have finished say these words.. "k bye" and shut the door in their faces.

Just throw a bucket of urine over them from a great height, like a first floor window before they get the first not out of their gobs. Usually works.

[Thalass]

No carol singers.


Carolers give me the shits. Nobody's that happy that they want to spontaniously sing to complete strangers. If it's for charity it's not so bad, but they still get on my nerves.


I reckon a super-soaker full of urine'd be better than a bucket - you can aim a bit better! !

Ok Rusti. So the incident would go something like this right?:

Knock, knock.
"Hello?"
"We wish you a merry Xmas etc"
"Hold on". Door closes. I rush upstairs and wee into a bucket.
"Damn. I ran out. Oh darling!" Wife comes up stairs and contributes.
I run downstairs and drink lots of water.
etc,etc
Carol singers still standing in the cold.
Window opens: "Could you all move to the left a bit? Ok, now take a step backward. Fine, don't move!!"
Splash.

Is that about it Rusti? Or do you have several buckets laying around your house in standby mode?

Well he does have the ability to talk shit at will!

Who knows what he's capable of.

Rofl!!!

Well, I like that! Sorry you 2, have run out of votes or you would of got one each for that!!!

hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

1. I kind of enjoy it if they do it well.

2. If you guys had your way there would be no freedom of speech.

3. If its a church group and you ask them politely they will probably avoid your house and move on. They aren't doing it for money it's just an opportunity to invite you in for a christmas service and a mince pie for which there is no charge. I went to one a couple of years ago and it was quite a nice experience.

I for one would rather have them outside my house than all the lager louts this Christmas! At least carol singers don't key your car or smash up your property or abuse your family.

[.SW-880]

I have no problem with carol singers as such, I love Christmas and everything that comes with it (except sprouts). Carol singers rarely ever knock on my door, but the few that have usually go away if I ignore them long enough.

[Thalass]

Okay Jedi, mate. At the risk of tempting flamidge. I'll say this.


Right, me not liking carrolers stops freedom of speech how? No-one said "lets kill all carrolers" we mearly thought up amusing ways of getting the point across that we don't want them at our houses!


(lol a mate from school once asked some Jehovas Witnesses if they had an axe handy for the goat they were going to sacrifice to Satan! Needless to say, they bolted! hahaha )


Anyway, it might be nice. they might sing well. But they still give me the shits.

And, personally, I wouldn't go into a church if you paid me. Even if there was free food! (that's kinda why I dislike carrolers too, it's the whole "convert the heathens" thing - I'm a heathen and proud of it!) Personal preferance, of course, not an attack at the religeus Xers!


*ahem* anyway, back to the amusing practical jokes...

[Zabre]

No problems with Charity Carol Singers, but all we get is little kids scrounging for money (and they try and come back every day for a week!!)

(lol a mate from school once asked some Jehovas Witnesses if they had an axe handy for the goat they were going to sacrifice to Satan! Needless to say, they bolted! hahaha )

Can beat this one Years ago we had a huge red cat called Bagpus that lay around by dads shoulders.
Along came the Jehovas Witnesses and knocked on the door. They got as far as saying "We're Jehov...." before the cat was off my dads shoulders and chasing them down the drive

Don't Think they ever came back

Well with you on my side no one will stop us!
