Och, the whiff of sweaty socks and testosterone in here is ripe. Here's a wee dram for you Mick Mac.

Nothing sneaky about this bod. I'll see your whisky mac and raise you two porters.

The season has not passed until 6th January. Unless you want oodles of bad luck, frogs in the cistern, plagues of bugaboos and other general nasties.

Otta - did you never read The Coral Island as a lad? Ralph* is one of the heroes therefore Ralph is a great name. Though what the modern reader would make of Peterkin Gay boggles the mind. *always pronounced Rafe.

Clown spoor.

It could be because you are promoting another forum on here. Bit rude, no?

His real name is Camel Dian?

Mr. Holder's epiglottal scream is sans pareil. End of.

Probably. It makes me chuckle. And the scenery is gorgeous, as is Fidel.

I watched all but the last two episodes of 'Short - I was getting a bit bored with it. But if it's improved, I'll try again. Love Rev, but thought the first series was better. Am I allowed to admit to loving Alphas and Death in Paradise?

Billy Bremner before breakfast. Bellissimo.

I read The Independent for a week when it first came out. It was so left wing and so not 'independent' that I've never bothered with it since.

You win. I had to look up meniscus!

Do you mean a holy spoon like this? http://spoonplanet.com/aposcockangel.jpg

There's a yummy-looking recipe for roasted root veg, mini onion yorkshire puds and a horseradish sauce in yesterday's Telegraph magazine. Annoyingly they don't have it on the online version (just the article about parsnips). You could throw in a roast joint for the meat eaters. If you fancy the sound of it, I will copy it out for you. Your starter for ten (six or whatever) could be Telegraph's fennel and pomegranate salad (recipe on)line which looks good and can be prepped in advance.

Sod the toes. I want the 16" waist.

Green, white and red - surely a sartorial mistake?

To lighten the mood a bit: Just read the obituary of Captain Charles Upham VC & Bar which included this: In 1962, he was persuaded to denounce the British government's attempt to enter the Common Market: "Britain will gradually be pulled down and down," Upham admonished, "and the whole English way of life will be in danger." He reiterated the point in 1971: "Your politicians have made money their god, but what they are buying is disaster." He added: "They'll cheat you yet, those Germans."

I'm slightly peturbed by the use of the word 'entitlement' used by HAL. An MP is elected to represent everyone in his area, not just his own kith and kin.
