thaibeachlovers Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Seems that 316 members and 2,019 guests have so little to do on Boxing Day that they are spending time on TVF. Anyway, have a nice one . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, have a nice one . Or we are back home with family, it's 7:50am (UK time) kids got up early to play with Christmas presents and after reading the news we checked in to ThaiVisa.com...... Our presence on this forum at various times is not an indication of nothing else to do... it's an indication of having some spare time. For me it's the calm before the storm, this morning it's the calm before the 'bubble & squeak', before the floor is strewn with yesterday's presents and I'm dodging Nerf bullets and stepping over Lego... Happy Boxing Day.... Edited December 26, 2017 by richard_smith237 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksidedog Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I am in shivering Blighty and it is way too cold to set foot out the front door, so TVF is the only option other than watching shitty TV. Yesterday was fun, with the normal Oliver, Dumbo, and other annually repeated rot that comes out each Xmas for our "entertainment." TVF may not be the most exciting thing on the planet, but it is at least a little more original than other options here. Seasons greetings, to all the other poor posters out there, who are also reduced to being on line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Bored to tears at the office. So watching old The Big Fat Quiz of the Year shows on my mobile phone and occasionally checking in to see whether there is anything interesting on TVF.

Nurseynutcase Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Yup - boring boxing day. We were both sick yesterday and my boyfriend has a severe case of intestinal hurry, so no going out!!! Bah For those who are unaware what boxing day is, it is from a time when the poorer people used to visit the grand houses with a box to collect money in for services rendered over the past year.

Not much difference here in Patts at the moment, raining, cloudy and a miserable 23 degrees, admittedly not as cold as the UK but you get my drift, I'm off out to my local shortly for a bit of scran and try my luck in the Christmas raffle Have a good Christmas and New Year in sunny blighty Edited December 26, 2017 by Golden Triangle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit there is a slight imbalance as Thai business attempts to take advantage of the commercial side of Christmas while the kids are going to school on Christmas day and Boxing day.

Just read up in it - thank you... The Philippines has a holiday like that....The needy & less fortunate knock on the gates of the compounds of the rich with their hands out.... By custom they are offered "tea" and bread/biscuit/cookies while they sit, visit and spin their tail of woe/plight = quite literally with their hands extended....Some can take up to an hour or more per visit counting on "rush" money as people queue up at the different estates...... Same route/people every year..... People come and go all day to receive "donations"..... Lovely in spirit but weary(ing) throughout the day..... All are greeted & treated with respect, as a valued guest...... Seems to be somewhat the same as the original Boxing day..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even see one who has the time to survey how many are spending time on TVF. Must be a really boring life. Oh, and I'm not British, so boxing day doesn't mean anything to me.
