If pubs are booking tables then it's Christmas. I don't make the rules.

There were more Christmas threads I could have dug up, you know!

Oh fuuuuck they're stealing my idea of someone travelling forward in time always having to level up from the previous era's weaponry. If they have a level set in a medieval castle and then a later one set in the same castle but hundreds of years later and now a tourist attraction I am going to shit.

That is amaaaazing!

My gift to you all for Christmas 2017 is the gift of self-reliance.

In all the excitement of Halloween 2015 and Secret Santa 2015 and Christmas 2015 I almost forgot to get this thread going in time! Top tip: buy two of all your Xmas 2015 pressies so you'll have your 2016 Xmas shopping done a year early. Here's a video of me as a policeman arresting Paul McCartney at Christmas 1979 (37 Christmas threads ago!):

That picture reads: "The official start date for Secret Santa organisation is the day after Halloween, in order to avoid scary presents."

Uh oh, it's that time of year when the Halloween and Christmas threads are running concurrently!

Yeah, because that article is about cats sucking the breath out of babies, not suffocating them. A quick search for cats suffocating babies turns up a few possible cases, and pretty much every article I looked at repeated what that snopes article says: "it is possible a cat might lie across the face of a sleeping child and thus upon extremely rare instances accidentally cause a death, but that is not the old wives' tale at hand wherein the cat does so with malice aforethought". The experts (including the RSPCA) in each article all also pretty much uniformly agree that it's extremely rare but in any case a cat should not be left unsupervised with a baby, and "You can buy cat nets to go over a cot or a carrycot." I'm sorry if my advice scared you, undermind9, but as long as you don't leave the cat alone with the kid, you're fine.

Cats don't suck the breath from babies, but that's not what I said.
-
I'm sure you know this, but make sure the cat and baby don't get left in a situation where the former can go to sleep on the latter and suffocate it - that apparently is a thing that happens.

For anyone getting confused, Banks is credited as "Iain M. Banks" on his sci-fi novels and simply as "Iain Banks" for his non-genre stuff (with at least that one exception mentioned by aoanla). They are the same guy.

In before Ninety Three:He claimed to be consulting his army of lawyers because she said he'd been creepy on the phone and mentioned marriage.
