I officially hate xmas - and it only November
 

My apartment is above a toy shop and they have this fucking Santa thing that rings a bell every 5 seconds 24 hours a day.

I dont have enough Spanish to ask them to turn it off at least at night....

I may have go and ram it up the shopkeepers ass - that should give him the message.

Bah humbug. :)

I wouldnt mind but they have Xmas 2 weeks later here - 6th January

bump for the official hate xmas thread :thumbsup

Where are you living?

Go down, point to the noisy thing, and ask "¿reservado en la noche, por favor?"

If my spanish skills aren't too rusty, that should be "quiet at night, please?"

Tenerife in the Canary Islands......

Great, thanks - I will try it.....

Break into the shop at night, break the Santa, steal some stuff, then call the police... Say that you live upstairs and were awoken by vandals breaking into the shop... You managed to chase them away before they did too much damage...

Shop keeper gives you a reward, you become a local have a go hero, you get some early Xmas pressies for yourself, and no more Santa...

Everyone's a winner, baby that's no lie !

lol - :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I might try the Spanish first though :upsidedow

:1orglaugh

Its not funny - I dream of Santa at night - and he is not as friendly as he looks :Oh crap

Send the shopkeeper death threats.

"remove the Santa, or i put a cap in yo ass"

That may give the game away as I think I am the only guy in town who speaks English....

try "apaguen esa mierda de alarma de navidad o les busteo un cap en el culo!"

a nice violent mix of spanish and english for ya. hope it helps.

omg! really! ?

So I understand...... could be wrong.

I do remember that the 6th Jan is the true xmas - 25th Decemeber was chosen for commercial reasons.
