The Christmas Thread

Sod the vinegar. But they do have to have a little 'crunch'.

 

Vinegar?

Sprouts are the work of the devil, but you can make them vaguely edible by part boiling them, slicing them in half & then lightly frying them in olive oil, with garlic & pancetta.

 

same as swede TB,

mash it up with some carrots and butter and its edible, but not as is.

 

I love raw swede, raw carrots (peeled & washed obviously )

 

Shameless bump.

Only 2 days left in work.

 

Is that your night job. I had you down as more RnB or hip-hop

 

Flowers? <spew>

 

Nope, I is old skool.

 

Rastafari. De big I

 

Gotta do the Christmas shop on Friday another bad part of xmas but at least it will be in the morning so shouldn't be too busy. Once that's done it's chill eat and drink for 2 weeks.

 

The Unit's taking care of all that for me

 

****ing hell Luv, first your mrs wants you to chop your bollox off and now your doing the Christmas shopping too? Not sure you need to really do the former

 

That's more like it

My mrs has bought everything and I have no idea what anyone has got! She's even bought the stuff from me to her

 

I'm a man of good taste and will not have a woman dictating what I eat. As for washing, ironing and cooking I do all that myself aswell. I am a self sufficient person and did not marry my wife to replace my mum like some soft lads do.

This "my wife does all that" is being a bit girly imo, we are men FFS not little boys who need mums to feed, dress and look after us.

Now where's that little pokerdot dress I look good in?

 

I was in London last week and have only seen this now it's been bumped.
I'd just like to agree with those who think sprouts are the Devil's Gonads.
As for Corrie.... well, it was ok up until about 20 years ago.

 

Are you saying you've outgrown it...? In other words, your too old for Corrie...?

 

You're probably too old for it now, Dev.
It was good when it was more like real life, but as soon as other atrocities like Eastenders and Brookie came out, it decided it had to compete by having a constant diet of murder, rape, robbery and disaster, and thereby lost its identity.

 

Cheers for the correction... I was too old the day I was born

 

I disagree. Whereas all these other soaps have a constant storyline of disaster Corrie has maintained it's sense of humour, there may be some serious-ish storylines but it remains a lot more light heatred than the misery fest that is Eastenders and Emmerdale.

Disclaimer - someone may die this xmas but I'm sure it will be in an amusing way.

 

I'm glad you enjoy it, luv, but I won't be putting myself out for it.
