That's coke zero in the Thatchers glass, so was my younger son.

Just having a coffee before getting showered, having a couple of turkey butties, then off to the match. A few pre match pints in the offing.
 
So what did Santa bring y’all ?

Anything good, anything crap ? Did you get what you wanted or another year supply of Lynx Africa ?

Air B&B vouchers
Headtorch
Camping stove
Set of new tyres for the bike
Booja Booja truffles
Bottle of whiskey

for me <ok>

Some shoes for work (I'd bought myself)
Some much needed joggers (I'd bought myself)
Got a Joe Malone smellies.
£100 voucher at a local restaurant.
An M&S shirt from the in laws, which I'll use for work.
A small portable duel fuel outdoor heater thing for the van, which was from the in laws and for both of us.

Just having a dark and stormy in front of the log burner watching Jurassic Park, wondering what to do for the next couple of days now my Mum hasn't made it down.

My birthday in January so I just suggested me and her go to ABBA Voyage.

She rebuffed it! Too expensive apparently, and I wouldn't like it.

I pointed out I would enjoy it, and it's not the law to have to be homo to attend something to do with ABBA.

Anyway, will spend that money on a golf away day with my son, **** it.

Yeah sounds alright that, the Voyage thing, just looked at ticket prices seem to be a variety to suit all budgets from £38.50 to £181.50 and then you have the VIP tickets, packages etc I assume. It also depends on the times and dates you go having had a very brief look through.
 
Best I saw was £132 on a Saturday matinee end of March.

Would need to be a Saturday. And seated, none of this dance floor bollocks. I definitely don't do dance floors.

Oh yeah, I took another look and see what you mean.

No boxers or socks, which is a bit annoying as will have to buy my own now.

Tickets to the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse (next door to the Globe) in Jan, to see William Shakespeare’s Cymbeline. Bit worried about the likelihood of a woke production, having seen Henry V played by a (black) female at the Globe last year. But I think they did a fair bit of cross dressing back in Shakespeare’s day so wtf.

Best present ever, reading my new granddaughter a story.
