The Christmas goat of Gävle

These shenanigans (partially) spoil Christmas for me every year. Is there any way to stop seeing this thread? - seriously...

 

Yeah - don't look at it.

 

Obviously, Derek - I don't.

However, it doesn't take much thought to realise that 'looking' is not the same as 'seeing' and, unfortunately, every time someone posts, I get a notification which reminds me about it...

 

@David Shouksmith

You can turn off your notification setting for all, or particular, threads...

Cheers

Tony

 

Thanks, Tony, but how do you do that?

I have tried and I'm sure it's obvious but it's eluding me at the moment - d'oh!

 

@David Shouksmith

Go to your “Preferences” (click on your name; go to Preferences; tick or untick what you want).

Cheers

Tony

 

Even easier to just "Unwatch" the thread directly when reading it.
Just go to the top of any page in the actual topic and click "Unwatch thread".
Confirm in the pop-up, and the text will change to "Watch thread" and the notifications will stop coming.

 

& you can manage all 'watched threads here



Happy Christmas

 

Thanks Tony, Christer and Ross. The strange thing is, I'm not watching any threads - in fact, I never have because there's no need to; I read 'em all (except this one which gets my ******g goat, obviously...)

Merry Christmas to you and yours, also, Ross!

Depends on how you have your preferences set up. Starting or replying to a topic can add it to your watch list & endanger Christmas

 

The operative word being 'partially' of course - clearly there are thousands of weightier matters going on in the World...

All the best!

 

Aah - the notifications. I used to get innumerable emails on another forum until I discovered the stop notifications button - and it wasn't so obvious either. Almost as bad as the consanguinuity.

 

Que?

 

He's looking good this year so far!

Alec.

 

The marrying of first cousins. Frowned upon in some cultures. First heard of it in the film 'The Bridal Path':
The Bridal Path (film) - Wikipedia. Good comedy romp with some great characters.

 

OMG Derek, I think I remember seeing that film, proably when it first came out!

 

Another year has passed!
Here we go again. The web cam is just a small scroll down:
The Christmas Goat

For once, he actually survived last year.

 

Still there...

 

I am pleased that this thread has been resurrected (again, again, again) because I had forgotten about the lovely Sara.

 

And - "The same procedure as last year Miss Sophie . . . . ?"

 

this tv sketch is an absolute classic in German tv, shown every new years eve, since 1972 !
This year first time on UK tv at Monday in Sky Art.
:-)
Have a happy new year.

Laugh? - I nearly started...

 

I’m with you there David. Mustn’t say anything about another nation’s sense of humour I suppose but really...........!

 

The German sense of humour - it's no laughing matter. Sorry, Jean, what were you saying..?

Anyway, I've got a phobia about German sausage - I fear the wurst..

 

@David Shouksmith

Now that has made me laugh!

Regards Jeremy

 

Yes, sausages are quite different. Me too, wouldn't eat one from other side of the channel.
great sense of humor over there anyhow, if we look at other educated nonsense, e.g. Monty Python, etc.
Welcome in 2019.

Quite right, Willi - I avoid them too (well, most of the time, anyway!)

 

Here we go again. Yet another year has passed, and the goat is under construction.
I wasn't planning on putting the link up until he was finished, but since David brought him up in another thread, I think I post it anyway, even if he is without his head this far :

You need to scroll down a bit.

At noon today:

 

Earlier than I was led to expect!

 

I think the innoguration is on first sunday advent. This is just a kick start.
Right now he seems to be getting his head in place. Or parts of it.
