Balls. And may I send seasonal wishes winging on the westerly winds to all the participants in this erudite thread?
Could I possibly interrupt this intellectuality to object, in the strongest possible terms at my command, to our estimable jewels being used, yes used, as a metaphor for a load of rubbish.
Do I as a proud possessor of a pair of exquisite crown jewels offer them to Clary in exchange for her welcome seasonal wishes?
Exquisite they probably are, but how am I going to receive them???
Flying to the UK takes only 22 hours, I'll make it a personal delivery if that is ok.
Great, let me know when you're due and I'll put the kettle on.
Holy cow, you're not going to boil them are you?
I thought chillis, cumin, coriander and garlic would go well in a sort of Indian stew to be served with brown rice.
Just what the doctor ordered, count me in.
Kind of you to donate your jewels to my curry.
Love your sense of taste.
Meat is always acceptable if it is of good quality and not tough from overuse.
Noting your wishes, displaying a desire for good food.
Overeating might be a problem but I will try to keep my resolution - not doing that.
Pitiful, really, how we seem to be obsessed with food and weight gain?
Quite, a disease of affluence.
Resisting the temptation of to much food and drink.
Succumbing to those dining urges can be quite a thrill.
Tempt me with a beer and I say yes right now! Very hot down here.
Unusually, the sky is blue here too; but storms are predicted for later.
