The MG HS car I had for a month whilst my Nissan X-Trail was being repaired was an absolute horrible experience. A soulless thing with too many gadgets that interfere with your normal driving. Also, not much poke on the straight and cornering was not really assured. If your choice is really...

My SIL is a very similar woman, she thought she had a big bottle of Hendricks Gin for Christmas… turned out to be bubble bath! She did not stop bitching all evening. 😆 She is also useless at games and really kicked off because she could not recognise the PG tip’s logo and everyone else could...

One for @Don Barzini this is our Christmas Day lineup… Something for everyone and the reds are 5ft from the log burner 😁

We don’t have wheely bins for gen rubbish or recycling, just bags so I’ve just stuffed everything into the Green bin. That’ll do till next year. 😆 (3 week collections is unacceptable btw.)

Overslept and missed the Binmen. ☹️ We are oop North next week, so it’s going to be two weeks until the next collection. 😞

To pass an afternoon whilst the Mrs was wrapping pressies I just watched “The Jingle Bell Heist” on Netflix… it’s just about ok. Biggest gripe…it’s set in London but everyone keeps saying “Happy Holidays” 🙄

Re the pie mash. You would be underwhelmed. It’s a minced beef pie with mashed potatoes and parsley sauce. Which may have been made with the water from the stewed eels. Served with vinegar (chilli vinegar if you fancy) and pepper… It’s nice but nothing special. 😁

SCORE!! Merry Christmas Guvnor. 🫡 😁

Don’t even go there… the Hornchurch Pie mash closed a couple of months ago, it’s now another bloody Fried Chicken shop 😭😭😭

Indeed, I’ve got the pickled herring, the smoked mackerel, smoked salmon, tiger prawns and crabmeat. Just need a visit to the fish stall. 😁

The big Christmas shop 99% completed by 7.15 this morning. Just got to pick up some Jellied Eels and Mussels for the evening spread and I’m there! 😎

Well done. 👍 I know you didn’t post this to drum up donations but why not put a link up on your post. Can’t hurt.

My heart would sink if I opened the door to that lot!😂😂😂

Heard Tim Minchin “White wine in the Sun” earlier on the radio… kinda nails it for me.

It’s all we ever wanted from Dr Who. I watched a couple more after “The day of the Dr” (which had T Baker on it at the end in a cameo) and throughly enjoyed them. I might check out the Iplayer. 👍
