[Politics] Christmas Day Starter

[crodonilson]

So you've indulged in a lovely ,luxurious breakfast, you've opened all your gifts, enjoyed a glass of bucks fizz and it's around noon and you are settling down for the highlight of the day - Xmas lunch. So what will you be having as a starter?

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Eight pints

 

[Justice]

Three tramadol to get me through the morning

You missed off prawn cocktail. You could of just cut and pasted it from last year's identical poll, shirley?

 

[MJsGhost]

Other: Nothing

There's enough food to sink a battleship with the main event, so no need for a starter (and there won't be any room for pudding @crodonilson, before you ask )

P.s. You missed off Gruel Fox

[Cheshire Cat]

Christmas free zone here.

 

[BLOCK F]

Nothing at the table as there will be enough on there to feed the five thousand, but there will, no doubt, be a selection of bits and bobs to go with the preprandial Dom Perignon, Brown and Mild, or whatever takes one’s fancy at Chez Block F.
