[Misc] Christmas Nocturnalism

[wellquickwoody]

That does sound amazing.

What did you prepare for the veggie weirdos?

Hopefully nothing!

I also have that perennial "1" for some reason.
I get even fewer notifications now that I've turned off the thumbs.

I believe it's because a user mass mailed a load of us, and then he and his messages got deleted. Because we can't read the message the new mail notification won't go.

Here.

OK, I'm on my 2nd Bacardi. I DO actually have to go in tomorrow, but not until 9, and I'll be off around half twelve. Everyone in the office is bringing some food in. MOST will just call in at Sainsburys along the way and buy some old shit like cookies, cheese straws, mini sausages, Pringles etc. Not me.

Tonight I have peeled and stripped some pork and apple sausages. I've cut some chives from my garden. I've got some sage and onion stuffing mix, and I've mixed it all up in a bowl with the sausage meat and freshly chopped parsley. I've boiled half a dozen eggs, peeled them, then rolled and compressed them into my sausage meat. Then I've basted them in egg yolk, rolled them in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried those muthas in sunflower oil for 12 minutes.

Ladies and gentlemen. What we are talking about here are the giantest, meatiest, most flavoursome scotch eggs you will ever encounter.

Damn I'm good.

Bring some to teh QPR game... I am in WSU as well.

I'll get round to them around 4:37am one night over the next week.

No wonder your not seen on NSC [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION], buried under all that lot I guess?

Despite not having to work my night shifts over Christmas I can't help but stay up later and later after the shifts beforehand.

Got a 12 hour shift on Boxing Day though finishing 6 and a half hours before kick off on the 27th. The East Upper will possibly be louder than normal, unfortunately probably because of my snoring.

Working nights Christmas weekend, after Friday night on call at home, unless somebody requests something stupid

They've all been noshed I'm afraid.
Probably wouldn't get past the frisk anyway, they could be used as projectiles.

Getting back to the original topic, I seem to recall the BBC used to do Marx Brothers Seasons back in the late 1980's or early 1990's with 2-3 consecutive films starting around midnight over Christmas. As a devoted Groucho Fan (Marry Me and I'll never look at another Horse) it was 4-5AM bedtimes for several days!

Are you collecting them or saving them up for a rainy day? I think the last pm I received or sent was pre 2010.

Tonight: Professional Masterchef catch-up with wine.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Some of us don't sleep much at all.

If you are lucky enough to have an extended break over the Christmas/New Year period do you find you start drifting towards nocturnalism, in that you go to bed later and later, and then get up later and later?

Those classic films and recordings of stand-up shows that get used as late night fillers won't watch themselves.

If it wasn't for family, and I was truly left to my own devices, I'm certain I would be fully nocturnal shortly after the New Year.

I do this every 'kin weekend! And today is good proof. Up at 5am. Wait til 5pm, I'll be fast asleep in my armchair, and the cycle starts all over again. Jet lag syndrome.

Nothing too excessive last night, just had a House of Cards binge through till 2.15am.
The Christmas Drinks Cupboard had its grand opening last night though, so I'm feeling a bit icky this morning after going to town on Bacardi, port and Baileys.

(not in the same glass, mind)

That's a very decent gesture. Is it open to all, or just [MENTION=70]Easy 10[/MENTION]?

Haha very good, trying your comedy routine, before going on tour

 

[fat old seagull]

1. Eat loads of crap food
2. Drink too much
3. Sleep funny hours
4. Have little sense of what day it is

A day in the life of ...fat old seagull.

5. Spend any remaining time trolling NSC, taking the pizz and making an arse of myself!

Merry Christmas ...
