I don't know what they are getting upset about. How many people could name five important Scottish authors? Or even unimportant ones?
Forgive the intrusion.
As you may be aware, some Liverpool players' houses were burgled a couple of weeks ago.
When Steven Gerrard filed his insurance claim, the conversation (apparently) went something like this:
Gerrard: "Premiership medals? Yeah, six of 'em. Can't find 'em anywhere. Musta been nicked."
Insurance man: "Now, now Mr. Gerrard. You're a fine player - no doubt about that - but you're no Phil Neville."
That's right. Phil would have lost some diamond necklaces and rare pearl ear-rings not to mention the Picasso sketch and the 200 grand in readies in the bread bin.
Merry Christmas Brits. Seasons greetings to all.

well just in time for xmas mrs steve has the bug i had last week. so we are not in norfolk and i am back and forth to shops getting lucozade paracetemol handkerchiefs (how do you spell that?) etc.
Handkerchieves.
No need to thank me, Steve, just recover quickly...
...so I looked on the internet how to roast the chestnuts that I bought today, wanted to have a dry run, for serving with panchetta and sprouts on Crimbo day.
They were bloody aweful!
Fist time I'd had chesnuts...
So it's sprouts ordinaire for dinner then.
Might go Tesco later, to see if they've got any bargains.

I wasnt going to thank you Francis....
My excuse is mixing it up with the Kaiser Chiefs. Like guitar/catarrh.
I am well thank you, I will pass your commiserations onto The Sick One.
Sprouts are good for you. Enjoy your meal.
(Any left over, dip them in melted chocolate and give em the kids on trick or treat night).
In fact have a lovely Christmas smorgie, I'm sure it will be organdized to perfection.

And so the in-laws will have turkey and roastbeef every day this year.
Hoping that Francis' handkerchiefs do their work - though
mouchoirs en papier sounds more like NHS+-service. :wink:

Happy christmas, smorgs!
And this is my personal present, only and exclusively for you:

I must say that seems pretty reasonable.

The chestnuts I got from the local deli were not much good either, many of them had gone brown inside. I had to sling a lot.
I like roasted chestnuts though.
If you call them
chataignes au feu they taste better.
They taste even better when you call them "châtaignes grillées"...
But in Paris' streets just ask for "marrons chauds"...
Just because you speak French and your computer does the twiddly bits......
Bong vacances, Francis mon ami.
there's lots of hot morons round here.
