Now that the inanity of my previous post has receded from my immediate memory (good lawd what was that about?) let's get back to more interesting things: a biffo at a Christmas funpark in London. Hurrah!
So a whole bunch of silly sods paid £30 for entry into what has been charmingly re-named a "Winter Blunderland".
Apparently the funpark was little more than a "glorified car boot sale" with a Nativity scene painted on a billboard, a broken ice-skating rink and huskies tied up outside their kennels in a muddy field. Sounds simply crap-o-riffic to me.
It also sounds like another mighty fine way to part fools from their money. To my list of ways to make money post-economic downturn (including selling moss-scented candles and stealing things off the blind) I can now add Christmas Dream Destroying and Bubble Bursting.
Not to mention Professional Funpark Troublemaker... because that's who the park is blaming for the rucus (yep, seriously).
So there were four-hour waits to see Santa (who then refused to let kids sit on his knee), followed by the punching of said Santa by one angry Dad, then a four-hour wait to pick up a present, followed by the slapping of an elf by one angry Mum. I can't wait for Jerry Springer's erudite analysis of the situation.
Apparently one child had to be comforted after finding a Santa smoking a cigarette outside his grotto. Lucky the kid didn't see the Santa shooting up behind the dumpster.
Don't you love the festive season?

lol - I have to confess I always automatically translate this as 'little old lady'. I think it probably means 'lots of laughter' or 'laugh out loud'. Perhaps you could enlighten me? Anyway, either one would apply to your image of Santa behind the dumpster. Very funny!
Hey Words and Wine, I LOVE your 'little old lady' translation - that's gold.
