There's an Inside No 9 special at Xmas. Can't wait for that. And Outnumbered. Me dad was on about the Royle Family too. Saying the cast had got together to talk about Caroline Aherne for an xmas prog. Yeah, all that aside, **** Christmas. Roll on boxing day when normality sets in. Ironic that I'm not religious but am posting on an unlocked religious thread, because it's Christmas yay!!!!!!!!!
First for my daughter as well. Czech in-laws haven't seen her yet so we are going over there for Christmas. Bloody carp again! At least they have decent beer and some nice paint stripper-esque spirits. Oh, and some snow.
Is that they eat Carp for Christmas dinner or its just not very good over there and ipads autocorrected?
Yeah...they have it in Lion & Key and William Hawkes Mrs T is partial to a drop or eight (Don't forget you're not allowed in wearing a Christmas jumper)
All 4 Christmas trees are up Loads of booze bought for Christmas has already gone...as have those crisps from M&S that are something like prosecco and are glittery with stars on them (if I'm hallucinating again then apologies...it'll still be the mushrooms!) Turkey and huge pork pie ordered from Fields, there'll also be a ham cooked in cider There will be the normal booze (majoring on IPA, lager, gin vodka and single malts) plus lots of port, amaretto and prosecco All family is home for Christmas...which is the good bit Do Christmas Eve afternoon on the piss with family and Askew's mob. Christmas Day all family is at ours, champagne and croissants for breakfast and then single malts with Father in Law by mid morning. I assume other things happen later in the day...not sure. Unusually on Boxing Day we're off to New York with the whole family, really looking forward to that I have to say Happy Christmas you bunch of ****s
I drink my rum neat and the Blackseal 151 is not a sipping rum. Mount Gay XO compares well price wise, comes in a good looking box and you can sip or mix it. Easy to get hold of as well. My rum drinking has slowed down to a trickle lately. But...
This year I will be majoring in Gin, both the wife & the GP keep telling me that I drink too much sav blanc...... Got to keep them happy!
Oh I forgot I've got 5 litres of home made Sloe Gin which has been maturing since late summer Mmmmmmmm
I was going to ask about Pork Pies. I've heard fields are good. Anywhere else recommended? I made some Red currant vodka, red currants out of my garden, a few months back so looking forward to that. Strain the red currants and have them with ice cream and a few nice shots of Voddy.
Ye I'm quite hopeful. Few weeks ago I made some red onion n chilli chutney. Grew the chillis, hot Thai dragon chilies. Ready for xmas with a pork pie.
