[Misc] Boxing Day is better than Christmas Day

[Guinness Boy]

Happy sports and leftovers day everyone!

Apart from walking the dog and getting some goose fat cleanly into jars I have bugger all to do and all day to do it in.

I intend to sit in front of the football, occasionally moving for drinks, a fridge raid or a number one.

Fan-bloody-tastic.

It would be a perfect day ,if we were playing today on Boxing Day, rather than a Thursday night

I reckon that splits the jury. @Titanic would certainly agree with you. For me, the beauty of Boxing Day is having literally nothing to do after a week of stress. I was so glad they moved our game. I wouldn’t have gone today.

if my telly goes on today, shoot me.

Boxing Day is just the next 24 hours of Christmas Day.

It’s my lads birthday today, so every year we have the challenge of finding something to do(when there’s no Brighton game), and somewhere to eat that isn’t doing leftover roasts.
Bless the people on Boxing Day that have to work, we are grateful but options are limited

Walk the dogs on the beach, cycle ride for an hour making room for leftovers and a beer or three................watching the angst free football

Less stress in the kitchen

Decorations coming down and a chance to clear the house of the tree and all the crap we seem to accumulate. Should be sorted by midday.

At least there is something happening today.. I would have enjoyed it if we had a game but it is better for the team to have a break

 

[Is it PotG?]

Leftover Beef Wellington, a shed load of unopened cheeses and some Pomerol left over.

Football on the box, sneak in the King George.

Great day.

Cripes! Our decorations only went up on Saturday (more through poor time management than design). Won't be coming down until 12th Night.

I would have preferred our game being today tbh, but it will be good to gorge on the festive football feast too. Working tomorrow, Thursday and Friday so will have to finish early to travel to the game.

Have a good one everybody!

I've just rebuilt a very old water pump found on our new allotment patch . . . Going to head round and investigate the tank and well it lives with, hopefully have it all fully functioning Soon. I need to make a new handle for it, but the pumps restored and works. From a little online research I think it's about 90-100 years old. As good as new inside

Now I’m interested in this thread, this looks more like it.

Get out of your chair and get ourselves down to Nyewood Lane to watch Bognor Regis Town v Horsham (ko 3.00pm).

It will be an entertaining game, the Rocks have a great clubhouse, you can take a beer out to watch the game with you, plus a very comfortable stand if you fancy a seat. Plus free street parking outside.

And yes, it's pay on the gate.

No 'twelve days of Christmas' for you, then?

In-laws today so lots of driving and no sauce till late evening.

Bright day an oasis in the depressing sequence of wet and windy weather. Definitely taking the opportunity to get out of the house for Burgess Hill v Lancing at 13:00.

That's the way to do it.

Bit of tension here, as Mrs T likes to get all the trees and lights up 2 weeks beforehand, and starts twitching around Jan 1, but I insist we hold out till 12th night.

I do wonder how many will go .. perhaps higher than the average? I'm going

There's a whole new world out there! They were a very common sight in villages particularly, I remember a big water pump in Steyning when I was a kid . . http://www.villagepumps.org.uk/manufs.htm
