Must say I do enjoy everyone's thoughts on here, some i agree with, some i don't but you learn that everyone is entitled to opinion. Sometimes I've put something on and then think what an idiot why did I put that. At the end of the day we are all on here because we love City, I know like me some go to games some don't but we are all here for the same reason. On a different note I've got to mention that a few weeks ago my Dad went into a care home, unfortunately a couple of weeks after been in there I got a phone call saying out of the 49 residents in there 22 had coronavirus and my Dad was one of them, since then unfortunately a number have passed away, they said my Dad was seriously ill which was obviously a big worry but today the home rang said he had Christmas dinner and they then put him on the phone, his first words where, happy Christmas son, how's city doing. It was great to hear them words obviously taking nothing for granted but hoping he can now battle on though it. Anyway after the year we have all had i think none of us should take anything for granted and enjoy life in the best way we can.
Fingers crossed your Dad continues to make a full recovery
 
Johnbo, mate. I've been through the same thing with my own Dad.

Unfortunately he passed away (way before the virus and unrelated).

Luckily I live fairly close to the care home he was in, so I was able to visit every other day.

One Saturday we were playing Fulham and l was sat with my Dad, just you know, just talking about City and that.

I'd already stopped going, due to the Allam factor but Dad insisted I should go to the game.

You have to do what your Dad tells you to do. So there was still time and I went to that game.

We won 2-0.

We still got relegated that season though <laugh>

Things don't always turn out how we want them to x

Now that’s a Christmas present that money cannot buy. You take care Johno and I hope you get to sit and chat to your Dad in person soon.
 
The family are currently playing a game called Escape Room and they insisted I take part.

Apparently I'd be locked in the room with the five other family members for at least two hours.

I didn't have a ****ing clue what I was supposed to be doing, so I just sat on a comfy chair in the corner of the room for five minutes.

Kemps, if you're not interested, just get out, said Mz Kempton.

So I did, because they hadn't locked the door.

So technically I reckon I won.

They're going to tell me I'm a miserable **** aren't they.

Oh well <devil>

The Chazzwich
I started the day with a cup of tea and a white bread stuffing sandwich

I thanked me
 
What type of stuffing? Youre the boards leading veggie nowadays den
What did you have for Xmas dinner?
Traditional sage and onion stuffing.

Christmas dinner was a roast nut and balsamic onion Wellington, mash, roasts, parsnips, bread sauce, sprouts, carrots, broccoli, chestnuts, cranberry sauce, red cabbage, vegan sausages wrapped in pastry, Yorkshire puddings & aforementioned stuffing.
All homemade
...and champagne

We also cooked turkey, cider roasted ham and pigs in blankets, non vegan Yorkshires & cream based bread sauce for the visiting murderers

Belated Christmas wishes, just got home today after three days in HRI.
I want to say a massive thank you to all staff on ward 50 in HRI. From the start of Christmas Day to getting laid down after a long day, they did all they could to make the day special for all the patients. We even got a Lynx pack off them as a present.
Thank you Ward 50, it'll be a Christmas i'll never forget.
