    Surely there's no real joy in stamping on minnows? <whistle>

    Back then we were both minnows, although they had been top flight and FA Cup finalists not long before...

    Every day until Christmas, he planned to synchronize a new song with his outdoor lighting.

    Many like to illuminate their houses for the holidays, but few reach the level of Greg Jaeschke. For at least three years, this 24-year-old Australian synchronizes his Christmas outdoor illuminations with much less traditional pieces. This year, the lights of his house blink in particular on AC / DC's Thunderstruck (1990), on Black Betty, reprise by Spiderbait, an Australian rock band of the 90s, or Dutch electronics.

    Every day until Christmas, the Australian will synchronize a new song. Every time, it's a 6-hour job,


    For you BB. :emoticon-0100-smile

    I'm just off the the local pub with my wife and some hooray henry's for xmas dinner. You cannot beat a good English country pub for atmosphere. I don't think I will mention Brexit as I know the others are miserable remoaners.

    Yeah, save it for anonymous wind-ups. Heaven forfend you should have to defend your views in person. It being a "country" pub, they could have you up in a wicker man before you know it.

    Have since been advised by Mrs Andy that Wilkinsons shop sells this at £15 for 20 pint pack. <yikes> That is cheap. Now considering making due alterations to run the car on this. Ow, my head hurts. :emoticon-0120-doh:

    Happy Yuletide to all you northern hemisphere bods. The longest day is coming to a close here. I missed welcoming the solstice this morning. From now until June the nights will be drawing in.

    Morning all, rather damp and chilly in rural France this morning. Friends of mine went to Sydney a couple of years ago for Christmas looking forward to a festive dinner on the beach. It was so cold on Christmas morning they stayed in the house and turned the heating on. It was actually warmer in Dorset.

    I escaped the bonfire, just, Brexit should be added to the list of politics and religion on not what to talk about. Awkward.

    Just back from last food shop before Christmas. To say it was heaving would be a gross understatement. People should be made to take a driving test before being put in charge of a supermarket trolley! Back to front shin pads might have been useful!

    Did our last Christmas shop today and the supermarkets were heaving also. Looking in the chilled cabinets there were venison, duck breasts, wild boar, bison, ostrich and kangaroo joints on sale. Behind the fish counter the normal numbers of staff had be be implemented from the normal one to six. Employees were constantly bringing out from the storeroom poultry to restock the cabinets, Christmas here is all about food and drink, but I still get e-mails telling me that it would be a good time to change my internet provider.
