Good idea, JHFC. What temperature and for how long?roasted our sprouts with lardons last year.......bloody lovely......and it frees up a layer of the steamer....
Til hell freezes over.Good idea, JHFC. What temperature and for how long?
Thanks for your culinary advice, Otis.Til hell freezes over.
No, it's not just you.Not bothering this Christmas Day. Family working and to be honest bored with it all. I'm meeting up on Friday with my football mates so a good drink then on to the match, so that's like a family get together. Am I the only one though who reckons Christmas is tedious, and has passed it's sell by date ?
Bah humbug !No, it's not just you.
There's a grumpy old fella too, goes by the initials ES.
What you doing Christmas Day then, BBR?Bah humbug !
Nothing really. Just like a Sunday to me. My son may pop round but if not I'm easy. I really don't bother with it anymore, find it tiresome. I buy a few presents and cards, but that's about it. I know its often said but it is for kids, but the way some adults act you'd never know would you !What you doing Christmas Day then, BBR?
That's a nice gesture Otis. But I'm really not bothered. I see friends anyway in the pub etc, and my lad will pop up sometime. Just drop some leftovers round !I don't know you, BBR, but if we weren't going out for Christmas lunch I'd invite you round to my house.
I always think Christmas is for friends and family. You're neither, but still.
Don't like to see anyone alone at Christmas. I did it one year, just me on my todd and I loathed it.
I can post some stuffing balls through your letterbox if you want.That's a nice gesture Otis. But I'm really not bothered. I see friends anyway in the pub etc, and my lad will pop up sometime. Just drop some leftovers round !
You'll get six months for that !I can post some stuffing balls through your letterbox if you want.
Did you watch Gone With The Wind after eating that !I done a Cheese, cauliflower and bacon bake with grated sprouts over the top last year
Tasted lovely
"i done" sounds like you fucked it instead of eating it.I done a Cheese, cauliflower and bacon bake with grated sprouts over the top last year

why not push the boat out and put some pants and trousers on, too?Dress up within reason, wear a shirt at least
Like the Royle Family.why not push the boat out and put some pants and trousers on, too?
I'm with you bbr. It is just another day to me and whilst we buy presents and put up a tree etc it is more for our 12 years old and I can see that diminishing as he gets older. We have a roast dinner but don't go mad buying stuff we never eat because of some traditional nonsense. I have real problems with some aspects of christmas like the false caring for those alone/in hospital/less well off when we don't give a shit about them for the other 364 days of the year and the over the top consumerism which seems to convince some to overspend and put themselves in debt. Have you seen how much stuff some people buy, the shops are only closed for 1 day ffs?! I also don't get the New Year celebrations, again it is just another day, and I can't remember the last time I stayed up to see the New Year in.Not bothering this Christmas Day.

It's not all bad as I get 13 days off this year starting yesterday and my wife doesn't mind me coming down to watch us play so my son & I will be at Carlisle on the 30th and at the Ricoh on the 1st and heading straight back up to go back to work on the 2nd.
