"My stuffed seal gives me comfort."

[Just_plain_you]

Not sure if real or epic trolling:


James Fisher, 28, a journalist from London, will be spending Christmas largely alone.

“I’m in my flat in Battersea, I might go for a nice Christmas walk with a friend later and I’ve got an army of venus fly traps to plant.

“It’s a very different Christmas for sure, but I’m doing my best. I’m treating myself to some breakfast champagne, I’ve got my Christmas jumper on, I’ve got my tree up. It’s my mum’s birthday today, so it would have been nice to see her, but I’ll visit my parents once they’ve had the vaccine. My stuffed seal gives me comfort.”

I would have thought that a stuffed seal would be anything but comfortable.

It depends on which position you select.

I'll wager its real - typical of the man-child snowflakes making up a sizeable part of the male population

A sizeable part of the population and 100% of the type of people who read the Grauniad.

It's probably a loose cover his boyfriend sewed so his mum doesn't realise it's a Sybian.......

I suppose that I should be pleased that I have led a sheltered life. I had to look up "Sybian" on Google, and found an educational video on the relevant Wiki page.
I wish Mr Fisher good luck trying to propagate Venus Flytraps.

Just in case Mr. Fisher ever feels the need to see what real hardship at Christmas is like.

Indeed. And there’s the risk of the clap...

I have a habit of blowing seals.





I need to turn my compressor down

Add it to the "Useful Foreign Phrasebook" list:

My postillion has been struck by lightning,

My hovercraft is full of eels

I just assumed it was a typo for Syrian.

There really is two world's out there, isn't there? The world where a grown man complains about being sad at Christmas but relying on his stuffed seal to get through it as he plants his Venus fly-traps, and the world the rest of us live in.

And yet The Guardian thinks he's the normal one and we are the strange weird types.
