The Fish

This hill you've chosen to die on is cold, the hill is lonely and the hill is wrong. But that's ok.

Our form before he joined was appalling, he turned us around and if you don't agree that's fine. We can agree to disagree.

Did click and collect for most of the sides and snacks, picking up the chicken from a local butchers on Saturday (not doing turkey because it's boring as fuck), getting the veg delivered too. Wife has gone over the top with the food mind, there's just the three of us with maybe another popping around on Christmas Eve for tea. The amount we've bought could conservatively feed 6 CTs.

I do have a kid. School is only 7 minute walk though. Bring him home, give him some snacks get the Lego out, log back on the laptop and move my finger around the pad now and then. Family lives 3hrs away so no popping in. One Sister in Law lives about an hour away but she's dead canny. One downside is the neighbour has a 30yr old son on the spectrum and they have regular screaming matches, but that's as entertaining as it is annoying. Latest contretemps was about Christmas presents and apparently the mother wants to be clear that she "FUCKING HATES WRAPPING PRESENTS!" and his calming words were "Well that's why EVERYBODY HATES YOU!

She bloody does exist, you've met her, several times. Edit: And you were at the Wedding!

I've got a table and little calculator to give you miles between the stadiums in the PL if you want it? Home team down the left of the bottom table

Nee worries, I enjoy the badinage.

In those 5 1/2 games Newcastle picked up 4 wins, a draw and a loss (to Man City), his performances were excellent in all of them and he was, without a doubt, key in turning around the fortunes of the club at the time.

Just love my job is all.

I'm 'at work' now. Having a lovely glass of red while responding to an email with "Hi xxxxx, I think it's important that we bring in an XXXX specialist so I've arranged a meeting 4th January with XXXX XXXXX when they're back from leave. Any questions prior to this, please let me know. Dave"

So what do we think? The Jungle? Strictly? Own show on GB News?

Nah, I've got my own, but you've sorted it and screen grabbed it and everything. (but yeah I am a lazy cunt)

What and put up with such searing insight as this; Nah, you're alright.

Luton 1 - 3 NUFC McClen, Acuna and Barreca

Linked the wrong one, I meant to put Beanie Man's stone cold classic

Stealing this. Not even apologising for it either.

Oh, but you don't know where a gif like this is? Not so smug now are you, you supercilious prick.

I'm one of the few fuckers left 'in work', every one else has taken leave. I've automated so much of my job there's only been a couple of things I needed to pick up for absent people, and the few meetings I have in my diary have either been rearranged for the new year, or cancelled entirely. So I've wrapped my Christmas presents, started slow cooking a chilli, and I've just finished watching The Godfather Part 1 (again), been paid for it and needed to take no leave. Might stick Part 2 on. Might just re-watch Jurassic Park.

Improvised scene because Harrison had the shits. Swordsman took ages to 'die' on the first take because he wanted his minute in the spotlight to last a while longer. Little did he know it would live on much longer this way.

Must have watched Mary Poppins recently.

You're still wrong. It's over 4hrs to London from my gaff, only a little under 3 to Newcastle

Friendly, generous, hard working, grounded, not a cunt?
