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

    • We used Tom King recently to repair two light switches and have used him in the past for moving a plug socket. He's a lovely guy as well as the utmost professional. Very reliable and helpful, talks you through what's needed with a repair and charges reasonable rates, especially as some electricians charge the earth in this area now. Highly recommended!
    • Does anybody have a wildlife night vision camera in good working order which they no longer use? If you have one, please message me, thanks x
    • Aria and this team replaced 2 showers in my house. He helped me too source all of the correct parts, and then carried out a challenging job of removing the old showers, replacing with new and then retiling the areas. His communications and expertise were brilliant throughout and he charged a very fair fee for carrying out the works. Hes just a very nice, friendly and patient guy to deal with. I would recommend him to anyone needing work done. Thank you again
