Monkeys Fist

Mildly rat-arsed here. (Didn’t start until after 12:00, but it doesn’t take much nowadays.)

Make him Vinnie Colaiuta and it’s a deal.

Also got him headphones, which he’ll be ordered to use with the drums. Of course, if he turns out be a proper drummer, will he fuck use them. 😆

I think I’ve condemned Fist Jnr. to a short life of debauchery and mayhem, ending in a hotel pool. Got him a drum kit

Never been to a match but absolutely destroyed the house staff on FIFA 2019.

Honestly man, fuck it off until after. How much extra are you being paid? ( Whatever it is, if they even are, it’s not worth it.).

Leg or breast?

I’ve never been a fan of it, as you say it’s a fucking misery-fest for the most part. The Great Escape is my go-to Christmas movie. Fuck. That. It’s the arse end of Christmas Eve mate, it can fucking wait.

I’m currently absolutely bossing Christmas dinner prep- Turkey crown with cranberry and orange butter under the skin, streaky bacon weave over the top. Roasties in goose fat with thyme. Roast carrots and parsnips in honey and wholegrain mustard. French beans wrapped with Parma ham laces. Spiced red cabbage Sprouts with pancetta and chestnuts ( with a few chestnuts left over to roast for “garden visitors” tomorrow with a bit of mulled wine). Pork stuffing with lemon, garlic and thyme. Buttered Spring greens ( Mrs. F’s request). By prepping this today, I’ve got it down to 45 mins kitchen time on the day, after the Turkey is done. If I don’t die of a heart attack I’ll see you on Boxing Day for the steak.

Please don’t speak Garlic here, we’re a stand-alone self sovrinty dontcha know.

Funnily enough, I was also “in production” when I made the post.

Merry Christmas chaps. It’s been a weird year, and it’s going to be a strange Christmas for many of us. Hope you all make the best of it, and enjoy a break from the relentless shite. To all who’ve lost friends, family and loved ones, my thoughts are with you- it will get better. On a cheerier note, here’s Salma tossing a bit of salad.

I was watching it thinking “ He reminds me of something…” Couldn’t put my finger on it, then… Lego Gimli

You’re giving him way to much credit.

Already been sorted by the super-efficient Mod Team.

That makes two places I’ve never bothered with because I thought their name sounded a bit “meh” turn out to be amazing. The other one being Utrecht.

Go back to bed you lunatic.

Missed the first half- was defrosting an Iceland Prawn Ring.

Just done the Christmas food shop- it was remarkably chilled with no shortages that I could see. Still eye-watering at the checkout, but it did include “refreshments”.

A record of his past successes…

Mmmm, Bacon Frazzles…

This is the one, so it is.

So sorry to hear this man, I can’t imagine how you must be feeling. I’ll repeat ewerk’s very good advice though, It helps put all the emotions- guilt, anger, despair, sorrow, in context and helps enormously.

They could put a bid in for this.

It’d be par for the course if this fat mess somehow flukes us a cup.
