When asked if she'd like a pint with the lads
she said "yes" and make mine a porter.
boom boom.

Quick Christmas Quiz.

From which monologue does the following come? ‘Shall I bring you your money box Albert?’ said Mother, so coaxing and sweet. But Albert let drop an expression he must have picked up in the street!

By what name is Ferdinand Joseph Lamothe better known?

On a clear day, by looking around, you can see Scotland, England, Wales, and Ireland. Where are you standing?

Possibly one of the peaks in the Lake District. But possibly the top of Snowdon. And there must be places in Ireland that can see everywhere else too. Isle of Man?

Stuffed as an olive. Pisssedas a squid. But if I can see well enough to do this, then there's room for another one.

And a bit of pudding.

Christmas dinner:
4 hours to prepare, 20 minutes to demolish.

Merry Christmas all you lovely brewers.

Well at least I'm not the only one here who have recognition to the gift we were all given two millinia ago.

The congregation i serve celebrated a Lessons & Carols service as well.

Today will be spent mostly with my beloved (& our sons on 'zoom' for a bit). Its a slow day for a pastor. A much needed slow day. Thanos be to God.

Happy Christmas to all of you!! Whether you're sober, smashed, or passed out! Enjoy the day.

Thanos be to God.

Thanos doesn't sound very Christian to me. Is this The Thanos of Marvel Comics fame? A thoroughly bad egg, as I recall.

LOL. I really dislike phone keyboards and fat fingers. But I still give Thanks to God, even for people who grade my posts.

I thought he was very much onto something, the way he went about it before he had all the infinity stones was a bit rough, but he was essentially doing what he believed to be for the greater good and the end would have ultimately justified the means.

Obviously I'm referring to the Thanos of the MCU rather than the comic book canon (his motivation for attempting to wipe out half the universe was very different in each, the films making more sense, at least in theory, in my opinion).

Merry Christmas to all of you.

Let's hope for a gentler and kinder year to come.

Ferdy-Joey-Moth boy! He was in my year at school and he came first in running round a candle on sports day every year.

Stock taking in my dad's map shop and still hoping that daft Jenny might come in and still lets you have a go on her boobs if you buy her a choc-ice.

Christmas Quiz Answers. Apologies for the delay, but I’ve had no phone line since Christmas day.

‘The Jubilee Sovereign’ written by Marriott Edgar and recorded by Stanley Holloway. Another misadventure of Albert Ramsbottom, who’d already been swallowed whole by a lion in Blackpool Zoo (The Lion and Albert), and made a miraculous reappearance (Albert’s Return).

Jelly Roll Morton. Jazz pianist, bandleader, and prolific composer. He began by playing piano in a New Orleans brothel at the age of 14.

On the top of Snaefell mountain, the highest point on the Isle of Man. Just visible, if you know where to look, are the Mull of Galloway (Scotland), the Cumbrian Mountains (England), Snowdonia (Wales), and the Mountains of Mourne (Ireland).
