Park Life 71 Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Best Christmas I had was way back in the 90s when the Sydney Trade Union Club opened and had bands playing all night.I was amazed last Christmas to see pubs are now allowed to open if they chose - 10pm close but it's a step no less. Bastids still won't sell you a take away but hey ho, sit in the bar and drink the fucker. Best christmas I had was when I was stuck in Paris with no money and went round the girlfriends (French) who had finished with me the week before. Her parents felt sorry for me and I wormed my way back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4821 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Special Brew and sprouts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Aye. Our local is open over lunchtime from 12-2pm then again from 7pm. superb! Think just about everywhere is open on Christmas day like. Was in a Brewer's fayre the other day and noticed they had the brass neck to charge £45 for a shitty 'four course meal' on christmas day (the first course being soup and the last one being coffee). Do you get the number for the Samaritans at the bottom of the bill btw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Likelihood this year is that I'll be working right up until xmas eve; temp job at M&S. If that's the case, then there's a possibility I'll be spending xmas on my own, as everyone would've left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Halloween's big in Norn Iron. When I saw all the adults walking around in costumes I thought I was back at university. And I think they're still excited about being allowed to use fireworks or something. Don't celebrate November 5th for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This board is already divided over the Standing/Sitting arse wiper debate - can we have a show of hands for the pro-sprout crew please? Buttered with bacon… mmmmmm I find all greens questionable in terms of whether the effort of putting them in your mouth and eating them is worth it - I get the benefit argument but it still seems like hassle. I'm not a complete carrnivore - I don't mind tatties in all their form and the odd green - I used to work with a lad who was virtually meat only.

Greens are good for you and taste lush, do you have the palate of a 5 year old? I love sprouts properly done. Too often they're overcooked or raw though. Cabbage, brocolli, spinach are all good too.

Guest alex Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I can take or leave sprouts although I eat a few because they're good for you. Like most other greens though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too often they're overcooked or raw though. Cabbage, brocolli, spinach are all good too. I grew up pretty much only eating peas and carrots as an accompanyment to meat - however my Mam certainly did sprouts and broccoli occasionally and I don't remember expressing a preference so I must have done so pre-memory. As an adult I've been able to eat just about everything and found nothing unpallatable so I guess my palate has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 43063 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I eat a load of greens- French beans, spinach, spring cabbage, broccoli. Love em Sprouts are natures little parcels of pumpy goodness. Along with roast potatoes and pigs-in-blankets they're an ever present for Christmas dinner, steamed then finished in butter. Carrots and parsnips , mashed swede,mmmm. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
