Much to the disgust of most of the office...today is day 2 of the Christmas Jumper countdown!

This deserves some kudos!
Admittedly I can see why some are saying it is a little early for Christmas jumpers...

Soooo tempted to report the thread as being outside the tastes of the community

Wait a minute, how long is this countdown and then what happens at the end?

@sheepdog the countdown begins the 1st Monday after Remembrance Sunday, and runs up to my last working day before Christmas (21st December this year) when I don the full santa suit!

@jonsie You'll be very pleased to hear that I'm not on the phones, so no O2 customers suffered as a result of Sunday nights exploits...well, unless any poor unfortunate souls happened to be in the vicinity of Leicester Square at about 2am when me and a mate launched into an acapella rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody none too tunefully

@Beenherebefore Haha! I was getting Will Ferrell comments all day yesterday too

Day 3 photo will follow later, today's definitely dessert related.

Day 3

@Wa10 so the interesting question is, do you store these er, um "artistic expressions of yule" every year or is there someone on ebay recycling them?

Am luvving the photos @Wa10 ... you're putting a smile on my face, thank you ... ... you have guts lad to do this ... isn't it hot in the office with a jumper on though? ... & ... you're a rugby league man, yes? ...

@sheepdog No ebay recycling so far, they have a dedicated festive wardrobe in the spare room, haha! Although I may have to retire a couple this year as I've become somewhat more "portly" and they're rather snug

Did have a rather unfortunate eBay accident in the run up to this years event however - I was on a train last Friday (sober, I must add!) and trying to order an ink cartridge from eBay. Kept losing signal, and then the eBay apop crashed entirely...before I managed to restart it I was receiving PayPal notification of order confirmations. Still not entirely sure what happened, however I somehow ended up with my entire watch list being ordered, consisting of 31 Xmas outfits!! Have managed to cancel a few, but the rest are already on their way!

@Anonymous Glad you're smiling. I am indeed a rugby league man (more fan than player these days admittedly, bit too round for the latter now lol), and you're not wrong at all it was getting rather warm...which leads us swiftly on to.

Day 4 (a little less hot)

"They": For some reason, Invasion of the Body Snatchers has suddenly taken on a whole new meaning given the rise in popularity of Ironic Christmas Attire. A certain member in my immediate family actually makes his own for the office jumper day. Or "They Live". Must remember to take Sunglasses* with me this Season just in case

* People who get this joke probably number in the single digits and have a forum name starting with Sheep ending in Dog. Or need to watch the film 😉
