Baileys and Cointreau.. Chilled with a large side plate of Nostalgia for the 'old days'.

Harold Wilson, The Miners Strike, the ZX81, The Green Cross Code, Metal Mickey on the telly, kelly's Heroes, McFisheries supermarkets, half day closing, ice pops, The two Ronnnies, Dick Emery, Porridge and the Mike Yarwood Christmas special.

Aaah Christmas. 'tis a lurverly time for remembering the days of flock wallpaper, shagpile carpets and the Queen's speech when everyone said how well she was looking.

Chestnut Stuffing...Home made of course!!

:ThatSmileyThatLicksItsLips:
There is a good reason why chestnut stuffing is only eaten once a year, even though it is bloody lovely and that is...

fart power.

If we ate it more than once a year Winky would tax us on emissions.
