Bearman Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I would like an old fashioned Christmas. As the governing body, the RFL should move the christmas holiday into the summer. Then we could have Boxing Day League fixtures again. 2 Ron Banks Midlands Hurricanes and Barrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josef K Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I don’t think im antisocial but i really hate Xmas parties whether family or works do’s, in fact i hate any party at any time of the year. I suppose that’s why people don’t bother asking me anymore, but they do like to tell me “it was a great party with a excellent choice of Oasis songs on the Karaoke”. I tell them “it’s people like you Enya who enjoy singing F****** Oasis & robbie williams songs all night in a pub is the reason i don’t go anymore. Now f*** off back to the pub and you can sing some Wham, Band Aid tunes”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerjon Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Ho ho ho. Up before the kids, is it?

The Hallucinating Goose Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 (edited) And so it begins. The stuffing is currently getting intimate with the water and once that's swollen, up the turkeys arsenal it goes and Christmas is underway!

CornwallRL Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 (edited) Made the Roast Red pepper & tomato soup yesterday, just peeled spuds, snips & cleaned & trimmed sprouts, baked the bread to go with everything, flat smells lovely. Stuffing balls to be cooked separately, in oven with pigs in blanket, spuds & snips, carrots par boiled, then fried with cumin seeds, sprouts parboiled, then finished, fried with pancetta.

Guest Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Think I prefer the 'getting up at your leisure' rather than the 4.30am version. But I do miss it all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Christmas everybody! I’ve just never been a party person, but if my grandkids want too play Mousetrap, Uno or any board game i’ll play for hours with them. But going to work do’s with zany work mates who find the likes of Mrs Brown’s Boy’s funny just isn’t for me, id just end up committing mass murder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a useful substitute for me......I still get the cold bottle, most of the taste and the pub/social experience ......I genuinely don't think I'd have done it without them I've actually bought some 1% cider from Waitrose recently....even better really as you get a bit of 'body' in the taste and a very slight buzz after 3 quick ones......

I can understand that. But as it's practically the same price as regular beer, I'll just stick to soft drinks. There is even 0.0% Guinness..... heresy.
