Who going spend christmas day on OCuk forum ??

I shall check into the presents thread like i do every year and laugh at people pretending to be happy they got a jumper and some socks.
 
I think this thread is a brilliant example and manifestation of the sociological critique that many thinkers formulate about the Internet, particularly Web2.0, in which people have an over-propensity to divulge and want to share overtly intimate things about themselves. There is a very strange trend in the post-blogosphere era of Internet users developing the habit of confessing and exposing many extremely sensitive and intimate things about themselves to strangers on the Internet. It is related to the shift in cultural fashions towards the 'thinking out loud' style content of many forums and blogs nowadays, where people often feel a root-level terror at the prospect of silence or in the act of simply not discussing something - some root level existential angst - and only feel comfortable in the sweet dopamine release of a 'Submit Post' button, and the endless compulsive refreshing and Pavlovian response of threads in which the main tributary of content seems to be spilling from the deepest recesses of their own psyche and innermost secrets. Willed over-exposure and an alleviating of feelings of personal vulnerability are the hallmarks of the Internet in 2012, and this thread is a sterling example.
 
ill admit it.. i probably will (some of it) got a 180 mile drive.. its proabably going to be wet but might take the S2 anyway
 
My family and I will be crowded around my monitor, grinning crazily, singing carols and drinking Pol Roger, all while frantically smashing that cheery old F5 key. Ooh, festive larks! We won't even move away to poo.
