Monkeys Fist 42428 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Merry Christmas chaps. It’s been a weird year, and it’s going to be a strange Christmas for many of us. Hope you all make the best of it, and enjoy a break from the relentless shite. To all who’ve lost friends, family and loved ones, my thoughts are with you- it will get better. On a cheerier note, here’s Salma tossing a bit of salad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13863 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Merry Christmas all and I echo MFs thoughts, though probably not his dirtier ones. You’re all alright, I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33183 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 As I sit here having a shite I think it's time to reflect on my toontastic acquaintances and to wish the poor beggars a happy Christmas. So, err.... Merry Christmas! God bless us, everyone. 🎅 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 7295 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Not currently shitting, but Merry Christmas to the lot of you anyway. What a shit year in general but also for Newcastle. Can't believe I still watch the absolute shower that we have become week in and week out, I'm pretty sure it's because I have you lot on here to moan to about it, so thanks for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35079 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Merry Christmas, one and all. This place continues to be a sanctuary from the fucking madness out there and a good laugh. No mean feat in the circumstances. Look out for each other. At the end of the day, your family and mates are what really matter. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5221 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Merry Christmas everyone! Gonna echo sentiments about the importance of this community - it's genuinely helped me at times to know that I can come on here and argue relentlessly with people about total trivialities despite the fact that we're all basically on the same side of everything And I am grateful for your tolerance of my enthusiasm for that. Stay safe and best wishes over the Christmas period. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42428 Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share Posted December 24, 2020 I’m currently absolutely bossing Christmas dinner prep- Turkey crown with cranberry and orange butter under the skin, streaky bacon weave over the top. Roasties in goose fat with thyme. Roast carrots and parsnips in honey and wholegrain mustard. French beans wrapped with Parma ham laces. Spiced red cabbage Sprouts with pancetta and chestnuts ( with a few chestnuts left over to roast for “garden visitors” tomorrow with a bit of mulled wine). Pork stuffing with lemon, garlic and thyme. Buttered Spring greens ( Mrs. F’s request). By prepping this today, I’ve got it down to 45 mins kitchen time on the day, after the Turkey is done. If I don’t die of a heart attack I’ll see you on Boxing Day for the steak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44866 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 All the best everyone. Shite year, hope the next one's better. We've got It's A Wonderful Life On, which is 90% pure fucking misery. 👌 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Whitehurst 895 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 All the very best everyone. The less said about 2020 the better but the chat and humour on here has help me get through it, so I thank you all. Enjoy spending time with your loved ones, it’s been a tough old so Christmas excess is to be expected. Let’s all drink to forget 2020. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
