Minted lamb hotpot was a success, our marathon Christmas card writing session continues....
errrrrm.... they've been called Snickers for a while, and why oh why would you want to send them instead of ordinary Christmas cards?

It's been more than 30 years now since they changed the manly (can I say that nowadays?) name of Marathon to the ridiculous 'Snickers' just to fall in with the rest of the World. I have refused to buy or eat one since, although I never went as far as sitting in the road outside the factory.
I agree with you totally, Witters, it was a terrible traumatic time.I still suffer from flashbangs every day..
I remember writing a stern letter to The Times, but nothing was ever done about this savage attack on our sovereignty.

Welcome to the thread Mr Ratty!! He seems a jolly chap Magoo, and I notice that Agent M has taken up position hogging guarding the fire!!!
Despite the active air con we now have in the machine shop, it's sodding cold in there!!!
Okay Bobbers, try to keep your cool. Despite the active air con we now have in the machine shop, it's sodding cold in there!!!
And remember your tolerances grow smaller in lower temps.
I had a ten year memory reminder come up on my FB feed today.
It's a article in one of our local papers about our trip to New Zealand for the 2011 rugby ?? world cup.
Eric our mayor asked us to take part in an interview with the reporter one evening at our house.
The female reporter turned up along with Eric.
An enjoyable couple hours passed.
Eric was single at the time and at the end of the evening asked Gaille,the reporter out on a date.
They are now happily married with an 8 year old son!

That's Ratty! 
Well, as long as Ratty stays off my rug we'll get along just fine, I'm sure.Yay!!! 9,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,00%,000,000,001 persts! 
Well done McAndy! Let's break open a bottle of full-strength Sanatogen and peel some grapes! It's PARTY TIME!!!.
I'll put down a sheet of Visqueen DPM in the Lounge.
Don't stand too close to the Brigadier, he's in one of his inflammable moods and is quite likely to spontaneously combust without warning.
I must say, your rug looks very expensive. Is it hand-made by Bylorussian maidens from finest beaver fur?
And I like the way you wear it so jauntily tipped above one eyebrow. Marvellous!

It's amazing what the mayor of a small French town will do to get his name in the papers.

Trivton Parish Council have agreed to release nearly half of its strategic stockpile of trivia as it faces soaring demand from a pandemic home trivia boom and a poor harvest due to the wrong sort of weather. Battert has offered the Towers' slurry tanker and spreader. With no reference to us, I might add. Just, "Would they like to borrow them." We will keep you posted about developments.
Thankyou for keeping us updated, Dicky.I'll be sure to stand well clear of the slurry spreader if/when it passes down the main corridor.
I have had a rummage in the cellars underneath the East Wing, and I'm happy to report that we have sufficient stocks of Trivia to keep us going until well into the new year.
Some of it is a bit damp though, but I'm sure it'll dry out if we hang it over the radiators.
I'm home, this is not normally a momentous thing but some bugger closed my sliproad so I had to go to the next one and join the mahoosive queue trying to do the same as me as well as the usual lot using it!!
Nice to see a few of the residents are showing up now, and that's quite the rug McAndy!!
A nice story that Magoo!!
