Back now, folks.

Got two Lindt, one Reese's, one Cadbury's, and one Thorntons.

I also picked up some assorted Christmas goodies, including Matchmakers, Walnut Whips, tubes of sweets, and peanuts.

There won't be much left for me by the time the locusts (my kids, tiny relatives, friends) have finished, so no worries on that score. Besides, I'm diabetic and on a diet.

Having said that, I've got a secret stash of Paynes Just Brazil's. Yum!

Let's get this thread back on track.

I'm off out to buy Advent calendars.

Gay ones?

I was in Bruges for Christmas about 13 years ago. Before I went, I didn't realise it had so many canals.

So you haven't seen the darkly comic gangster movie starring Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleason, and Ralph Fiennes?


You have see it, haven't you? **** off, I'm not popping in

Yes I have, but not before I visited Bruges. I thought the film was ok though

The film was brilliant. Especially the conversation about purgatory (which is apparently a bit like Tottenham)

Being a proddy, I don't believe in such pish. (Can't even actually remember that part of the film)

It’s near the end. Gleason says, “purgatory is where you go when you haven’t been really bad, but you haven’t been that good either”. And Farrell replies, “a bit like Tottenham then?”

Too many Fenians in the film for you?

The fall from the Tower is pretty gruesome

The Poem/Song at the end is one of the finest pieces of writing in the 20th century.

I like the bit where Colin Farrell tells the fat yank he's too fat to go up the tower.

Oh how we laughed.
