Dates have to be in a 'lozenge' box for authenticity, left untouched and unopened until everything else has been eaten... http://brianclegg.blogspot.co.uk/2010/12/anyone-fancy-christmas-date.html


Warnick's Advocaat and Dubonnet are must haves in the drinks dept, best served from a pine clad bar in the corner of the living room...

Figs - dried and compressed into the shape and consistency of a small brick.

Tube of smarties with a get-the-ball-bearing-into-the-clown's-mouth game on the lid.

The leatherette cover bought to hold festive Radio Times.

The smell of simmering sprouts on Xmas eve...

Sherry & babycham for the grown-ups & definitely advocaat. Ready made snowballs are just not the same.

And a Sindy doll, an annual, a board game & a selection box from Santa every single year!

Great day today, just the 5 of us for dinner, although we did pop to the Ivy House for a festive beer before starting the cooking. Family in Ireland were on skype.


Cooking was a team effort with me and the missus, i do the turkey and roasties and she does the rest.


I have already had two snoozes since dinner.


Dulwich Fox, hope you managed to have a good day.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
