i think it's a clue when the photos were taken a bit of Albion history.

Ha. I'm staying there over Xmas. Let me know if you fancy a cheeky Xmas drink.
Turkey on the day but I also organize a trad German goose evening with friends around mid December.

Doing Xmas different this year, going to Spain.
I celebrate the birth of some bloke called Jesus who did some good things apparently. Whether or not he had anything to do with God is another matter entirely.

Turkey and all the normal trimmings.
There would be a riot if I did anything different.

Breakfast, friends and family walk on the downs, pub for a pint all home for trad turkey roast. Would like one year for myself and the missus to just get away but she's fond of the whole family thing at Christmas. Which means in-laws which means I won't get a say in anything and will spend the afternoon doing menial tasks like crossing sprouts and peeling spuds, serving the family and clearing up after, I'll have to dig deep to contribute money to the whole thing even though I won't get a say in the choice of cheeses or wines and I'll have to say thank you. Frankly I'm looking forward to it all being over and getting back to work.

Personally I use it as an excuse to eat shit loads of good grub and drink excessively.
It's what Jebus would have wanted.
Sounds good I'll be in Banus for NYE this year!

A different kind of pasty
Mrs P's daughter hopefully moves into her new house in the next couple weeks, so we will most likely be going there for a traditional turkey dinner. Although I have been informed I will need to take my own sprouts as said daughter hates them and even refuses to cook them!
I'm actually staying Christmas night there with the wife while the kids head back to their mothers[emoji1]

Nornally have goose if there is only a few of us. You will need to pour off the copious quantities of Fat at a regular interval (Normally keep and freeze it for Roast potatoes) and 1 Goose will only serve about 6 people, but it is delicious.

Christmas dinner with family at youngest sons. In general conversation I once said some years ago I would like 1 Christmas in a hot country, eldest son phoned when wife went for chemo that he would pay for us to go to Australia for Christmas. The offer was declined but a great gesture.

You were quick off the mark as I pushed the post key in error before I had finished but now amended.
Pssst .... it's a fallacy that sprouts need crossing ..... there you go, you now have time for an extra beer

I'm glad you've posted again, after I quoted you I had a horrible thought you may have expired mid word.

They need cropping and crossing and,how else do you tip them with cranberry sauce on the plate?
