Nope - sometimes I get it, sometimes I don't, Peter. This time, I don't. What on Earth did you mean to spell when you typed "f-a-n-s"?

Merry Christmas, Peter from one of your downunder fans.  The other one should be in later.

He usually eats them all before I know he got any.

It's so easy to forget the person we should all really give thanks to at this special time of year. I suppose worrying about getting the food and drink from the supermarket somehow obscures our vision in this respect.


Yes, lets say a big Thank You to Richard Drew, the inventor of Sellotape.

No, I think it was Richard Drew who invented the Sellotape.

Isn't it true that most inventions are stumbled upon by accident? I mean, who would sit down and decide that what the world needs is sticky tape? I know that when I came up up with Beau Peep, I was trying to invent a new breakfast cereal.

And you succeeded, Roger, be in no doubt about that.

It's a breakfast serial in a way, isn't it?

I'm off to sunny Greece for two weeks, so I will also see you all in the new year.

Mince in Grease doesn't sound very appetising...

Have a great time, guys, and give my love to Albufeira, Rob. (And no, Peeps, it's not an Algarve lady of the night---it's a town).

Everybody! I'll bet there was actually a race to invent it first, but Sellotape won it, or bought the rights off the bloke that did.

If I was the CEO of Sellotape, I would make a boat out of the stuff and sail it across the Pacific to advertise its tough, adhesive properties.

Don't ask me how I came up with that one, I just did.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

It's 6.52; I've just put the first turkey in the oven and I'm going back to bed with a book and a coffee.

It says 09:26 on my laptop.

It's nearly time to take out the first turkey and put in the second one in the oven!

No, Mince told us he was going to Greece, Peter!

Anybody wishing to gain our respect and trust would never tell porkies like that.
Title: Re: XMAS
Post by: Mince on December 25, 2008, 01:23:40 PM
Peter is pulling your leg. I am in Greece, enjoying the sun and sand, and avoiding the flu. Hope you're all well.
Title: Re: XMAS
Post by: peter on December 25, 2008, 01:27:09 PM
If he is in Greece there is a stranger in his bed with man flu.

It sounds as though you've allowed a no-good, waste-of-space, down-and-out, sad-case to shelter in your house this Christmas, Peter!

There again, it might not be Mince, and could be a stranger.

Post by: Tarquin Thunderthighs lll on December 25, 2008, 02:50:57 PM
Whoever he is, it is a real act of Christian charity, and you should be commended for observing the true spirit of Christmas, Peter. The man is obviously sick, and may well have 'flu also

I don't really doubt Mince. I'm sure he's out there now enjoying Rhodes, Crete, and possibly the pleasure of Lesbos.

Oh, Peter, I'm here with my sister, Diamond Lil, and we've had the best laugh we've had in ages. Thank you. The "so who is eating my mince pies" line nearly cost me a mouthful of Drambuie.

Glad to help with the festivities

The only greese he's seen is the skin on the turkey

It's boxing day here in Oz, and I am SO glad Christmas is over. Last night we had friends round for the day/evening, the kids jumped in the pool, etc, so it wasn't exactly stressful, yet I'm glad it's over.

The Jehovah's Witness family who live in front of us have moved away for Christmas (it's a JW thing, apparently many do it) and I think they've got the right idea.

If I had my own island, I would advertise it as McGookin Island where people whose Christmas experience is traditionally fraught with family arguments and sad memories could come to escape the so-called festivities. I think I'd establish a Folk Music Festival for my fellow crap musicians so they could say "I'd love to come to Christmas at Aunt Gidget's, but I'm booked to appear on McGookin Island, sorry, Huge gig. See you in the new year. Maybe."

Once someone had booked their few days on McGookin Island, I would send them an official certificate, booking slip or decree so they could display it to their family as proof that they can't possibly accompany them on the eight hour trip to Cornwall or (in Australia) Yorkie's Knob, as they are required to be somewhere else. Look, here is the certificate. It says "This Is Not Negotiable".

Oh yes, I've got it all worked out.
