Oooh, RonnieMama I'm sure you don't mean that. Come on break out the mistletoe and give him a smacker.


Edited, because I made an innocent reference to the noise a turkey is traditionally supposed to make and it looked like a stage direction in one of those films you see advertised in the Daily Express.

Honestly you have to be so careful.

I have just returned from Twisted Christmas at the Barbican - Jarvis Cocker is my king of Christmas (as delicious now as the day I fell in love with him all those years since). He is the bread sauce to my stuffing, the orange zest to my cranberry sauce, the partridge to my pear tree, the frankincense to my myrrh, the morecambe to my wise, the cool to my yule.


I'm now going to attempt to download the weird christmas carol that only my school and kings college cambridge seemed to sing - anyone else sing Three Kings From Persian Lands Afar? It's super-good. Check it: Three beautiful kings (if at 2:08 a tear doesn't come to your eye then you're dead inside and get thee to the bar humbug post)

It's that time of year again, the place is a little dusty but nothing a wipe down with a damp rag won't cure.

I'll soon have a nice fire in the grate and 'ere long the kettle will be singing on the hob all the better to prepare hot toddies.

And the big surprise is the tree, Dymphna and Georgette planted it and have tended it all year round and there it is in the corner just crying out to be trimmed.

In fact anyone coming in today will be made to join in the trimming. Go on, you know you want to.

Come one come all for the best month of the year, the only rule is NO GLOOMY GUSSES.

On reflection this looks a little less than inclusive.

Look if your name is Augustine and you're feeling a bit depressed don't take the rule as meaning you're not welcome in the Mitzvah.

Come on down it's free egg nog and tree trimming day today, all day.

If that doesn't cheer you up nothing will.

Now Quids, I can tell you don't mean that to sting, you're just on the edge of busting out laughing you rogue.

Now here's a large egg nog and a handful of tinsel, now get trimming young feller-me-lad

    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
    • Pity you didn't quote what you are referring to, Mal. I didn't see the previous post, and my mind is boggling 😮
    • The Cherry Tree was absolutely excellent for a while when a youngish couple ran it and brought in a really good chef. It was them who renamed it The Cherry Tree. They were really turning it around. The chef did fantastic Scotch eggs, and one of the best roasts I've ever had. If memory serves the then owner,  for some reason known only to himself, took a dislike to them and what they were doing and sacked them all. And yes we weren't expecting a top class  meal last Christmas, and we left it too late to book anywhere else, but we weren't expecting it for a hundred pounds EACH to be quite as terrible as it was. Stupid us. Not sure why you are confused by my post, Jazzer? Did I misremember? Now it's got even more confusing because my posts have been merged and your confused emoji is shown at the bottom of the second one instead of the first 🤣
