A book of "amusing anecdotes" from around the country .... I think not.


Slow Cooker - exellent present - dont be so ungrateful DM, you need something to cook brisket and other frugal foods in during 2009.


Does any one know how to make ersatz coffee out of acorns?

One Christmas growing up a friend of my parents joined us just before lunch and spent the rest of Christmas with us. I remember thinking it strange as his wife wasn?t with him.


A few years later when I asked my folks about it, I learned that his wife had thrown him out because he had got her a set of pots and pans for Christmas.

Me m8 handed over 3 strange looking pressies... I say strange as one was rather large and funny shaped with rather rude wrapping paper, another was a small square shaped box and the third was well... very flat. Naturally one asked whether any should not be placed by heat, were breakable (I dont call myself Kalamity for no reason ya know) or indeed needed to be handled with more care than usual (no swinging it over me head and shaking violently - the pressie not me!). Two out of the three were slightly fragile.


Christmas day approaches and I open my gifts - ooooh a penguin (the first mentioned strange shape), a cup and a copy of TSP's (his band) latest album... as nice as the individual pressies were I was already told the penguin wasnt originally for me, the cup "would do" and the cd was a case of him not being able to think of anything else.

I think I need a new friend! lol


No no seriously I'm not ungrateful I just didn't need to know the workings and inspiration behind the choices!

Now Peruvian Chorizo sounds more up my street. Sounds great.


I know it sound pathetic to complain about a present. I think it's actually more to d with the person who gave it to you. My sister and I are like two peas in the proverbial. That's what I couldn't understand. But hey, i'm sure there's some point in the annals of our history where I got her the shittiest present ever. Probably when I was a broke student and ended up making something out of cling film. :-$

    • I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government 
    • In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.
    • Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform. 
    • “There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda ” I would call this “generous”   Labour should never have made that tax promise because, as with - duh - Brexit, it’s pretending the real world doesn’t exist now. I blame Labour in no small part for this delusion. But the electorate need to cop on as well.  They think they can have everything they want without responsibilities, costs or attachments. The media encourage this  Labour do need to raise taxes. The country needs it.  Now, exactly how it’s done remains to be seen. But if people are just going to go around going “la la laffer curve. Liars! String em up! Vote someone else” then they just aren’t serious people reckoning with the problem yes Labour are more than a year into their term, but after 14 years of what the Tories  did? Whoever takes over, has a major problem
