Someone summarise what king sausage fingers says. There's only two things I want to hear from that gout-riddled nonce defender:

1) I am fully funding every food bank in the country out of my vast generational wealth,

2) leave my daughter-in-law alone Piers you oval office.

Brother got our dog a new bed and a new toy, a walrus.
He placed the Walrus on the bed for the dog to find.
Dog loves bed, but picked up toy and winged it away, then brought his old toy onto it.

Lacking ideas I went with a substitution theme, quite by accident.
  • Turkey steak instead of beef steak
  • Chorizo sausage instead of generic pork
  • Hash browns instead of roast, herby or gratin potatoes
  • Sprouts + peas (with bacon) instead of just one type of veg
Zhuzh all that up with salt+vinegar on the hash browns and a mustard-mayo mix on the turkey
  • Sticky toffee pudding + double cream instead of tiramisu for afters

It were fuckin' great

Now it's lashings of dark rum and coke with loads of ice in front of [movie I won't name because one of you reprobates won't be able to avoid spoiling it] on the ole Panny Plasma

I'm lucky to get on with my folks and my sister and her husband. And we're not all in the same place that often so it's nice. It helps that the gathering is no bigger than that.

The worst thing I have to put up with is my dad's shite taste in television. He is the rare Ancient Aliens watcher

Merry Xmas all! Not sure I like this trend of sharing family Christmas photos that’s caught on among my WeChat group, nobody needs to see how much weight I put on this year (it is A Lot), but Mrs Beefeater has shared anyway, possibly as part of a “stop being a lard-arse” campaign. Family were here and there were no fights, it was great.

Finally feels like I'm through the worst of this flu/sinus infection thing I've had all week (sadly my partner is about two days behind me so she still feels awful). My brother and sister in law were kind enough to do enough food for us as well so I've been over to pick that up and ate my half. I now feel like I'm going to pass out from the food. This is something I haven't felt for quite a while so I guess I'm happy?

Merry Christmas goons. gently caress the tories and all that

Sorry. Been busy cooking. It’s a tall glass of ice , dollop of Advocaat, top up with lemonade and a squeeze of fresh lime. Garnish with lime and a glacé cherry

gently caress off Jess. Rishi Sunak serving people food is the bare minimum we should expect of our politicians. Let all of em do their Tory poo poo and I’ll yell as hard as anyone but can you imagine BoJo or Jacob Rees-Mogg lowering themselves to serve food? As of Dec 2022, the bar is so low that pretending to be a decent person is actually an improvement on the expected behaviour.

I'm almost certain Boris will have done the same photo op serving food at a soup kitchen or whatever. In my head the photo looks alot like that meme with the big fast food lad and the dropped mayonnaise.

I think Johnson did it too, but I could never imagine Theresa May doing it. Maybe Cameron, he's likewise a PR freak. Truss would unironically say the apocryphal "let them eat cake" line.

Hope you're having a good christmas, all, mine's good so far and now I'm sipping Scottish mead like a posh oval office.

I couldn’t find anything on a simple search for BoJo soup kitchen. Google did show up an article called “Where’s Boris?: anger among volunteers at food bank on PM’s patch.” tho.

poo poo like that almost makes me feel a little bit of sympathy for the royals because who the gently caress would want to be paraded around in front of a bunch of nosy oval office royal watchers like that, but then I remember that they do it to themselves and also they’re all even bigger cunts than the gormless twats who think it’s worth camping out to see them could ever aspire to be.
