Christmas Tree BSc (Brown Sauce)

Oh shit, I'd forgotten it mostly happened in that thread too

Dessie boy, check out this thread in all its glory. But only if you've nowt on this afternoon. http://www.toontastic.net/board/topic/33194-moon-landings/ Of course I'd forgotten who was responsible for starting it in the first place......

Good piece on the England 3-6 Hungary game in 1953: http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2013/nov/25/hungary-england-1953-alf-ramsey?CMP=twt_gu

Aye, I'd say so too. And if they're giving you the same notice clause then they can hardly argue the toss if you choose to exercise it. I suppose the only thought is if there's a possibility you'd be applying for something else with them in future.

Never been in a job without a lock-in/probationary period, so no. Don't know how I'd react in the same circumstances, either; I'd probably feel like I was pulling a bit of a cathword's trick, but then you've got to look out for yourself too.

In a similar vein, I know someone who actually likes tequila. Weirdo.

Tip top. On the way home from Once the Musical and ee, it was good. Really interesting production, quite unlike your usual West End fare. (It was a pressie for the fella's birthday, but I do like giving gifts that I'll get something out of too. )

Aye

We'd be living in a country full of intolerant, Daily Mail-reading hypocrites.

Would we have been a Stalin type state? Would we have been a Hitler type state? Would we have been a Mussolini type state? Would we have been a Tojo type state? Would we have sung the songs that remind us of the good times? Would we have sung the songs that remind us of the better times?

Cracking empire, Gromit!

I really like Christmas but I'm also terribly glad to have a small family. The parents have learned to go to Lanzarote for a bit of winter sun every year, so I nip up when it's my dad's birthday in early January instead and deliver them a nice bottle of plonk from Selfridges and all is fine. Christmas itself is spent with the inlaws and they're the kind of people who say several months in advance that they want this film or this Jam CD reissue, and for all that's desperately unromantic, it makes life a heck of a lot easier. They buy me whisky.

I can feel an angel sliding up to me.

Not much between despair and ecstacy.

Definitely haven't been any Aussies running their mouths off though.

Couldn't find black pepper so stuck a bottle of HP Sauce up my nose

Two episodes down, probably on 4oD I imagine. (Apologies for the thread hijack, Dave. Ask people to get you booze then invite me, Ollie and Matt over to destroy it all. Simple.)

Are you watching The Sound Of Musicals on 4, CT? It'd be right up your Bourneville Boulevard. Reason I ask is next week's episode features the lead in the Bodyguard losing her voice. The drama
