    Of course, although I had a debate as to whether a palate is actually a real thing. Is it? Or is it made up by posh people as an excuse to eat sorbet and wank on about things that plebs don't know about?

    Just got home from my parents and am curled up on the sofa with my gf. I'm stuffed but there's ice cream in the fridge so I'm going to get that in a minute.
    It's been the best day.

    I should say this was a medium one. The full size fuckers I just nibble on like a fucking rodent.
    They are a bit awkward. The best bet with the big ones is to bite the peak off, and then bite the base in two.

    First Christmas I've spent at my girlfriends. We're staying at her mum and step dad's near Scarborough. The step dad's son owns a b&b estate so we went there for Christmas dinner. It was a bit awkward as the girlfriend's part of the family ended up cooking most of the main course, but nice other than that. There was far too much food though and half of it is left over. I'll see about donating some to magic.

    My aftershave has been upgraded from Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet to Million, and I think I'm a fan.

    Got Momma some Andrea Bocelli tickets, so that'll be fun.

    Hope everyone is enjoying their day.

    Played Monopoly for the first time in ages but her idiot dad didn't know you had to have all of the properties of a colour before you could build houses so he got in a mood. Then nobody knew that you couldn't put just put a hotel on one property and leave the others empty (you've gotta build evenly) so it all went a bit sour. Thankfully they still had the [clearly unread] rule book in the box to back up my claims. I'm not the motherfucking Monopoly master for nothing; how dare you doubt me! My earlier rule of Dungeon Master was obviously still with me cos I would normally let that second rule slide, but today I was telling it like it is.

    All in all it went okay but I couldn't help wishing we had been playing the far superior France 98 edition.

    There was no winner either because we just slowly sacked it off one-by-one and came home bored.
    I'm a twit

    What an absolute shit day today was. Far too much travelling the past few days when all I've wanted to do is FM it. I absolutely hate the falseness of it all but hey ho, gotta keep the peace init.

    I like my immediate family but the extended lot can get to fuck.

    It's bollocks (and I cheat), but you have to at least play it until everybody else quits.

    monopoly is pretty rubz but i still quite enjoy it. i've tried getting into "proper" board games but they're pretty draining mentally, and i end up fucking everyone off by agonising over every move for ages.

    i played it once with my nerdy mate and his even nerdier mates. it was quite good fun but they insisted on playing in first person, and kept telling me off when i said my character did stuff, rather than I did stuff. I'd play again, but you need a good DM.

    I had only heard of it before I actually played it. I was mega miffed throughout because three grown men and a moody minging mrs playing a stupid game that makes no sense on a weekend with recorded copies of pointless in the background is the epitome of pathetic.

    I've been thinking of joining a local board game club because I love them but then I realise that the weirdos that frequent them are probably bigger perverts than those at Hammer's club.

    I also really like Legendary (Marvel deck building game), I tried playing it with some of my nephews but I was effectively having to play it for them as well which was really shit.

    Can be played solo but it's far too easy.

    I would join a scrabble club as I score around 3-400 each time which I'm led to believe is decent enough. It's all about the 2 letter words and board placement. I used to play my mother best of 7 whereby the loser had to do something for the other, full English and the like. She doesn't play me any more.

    I hate Scrabble (and watching Countdown) because I just can't seem to be able to 'see' anything longer than 4 or 5 letters plus with scrabble I'm too lazy to learn all the awesome two letter words.

    You don't need to learn all of the two letter words, just those that bring home the points. XI, XU, KA, JO etc. The key is knowing your tiles and which are actually valuable. Your LNRST's are more valuable than their scores for example.

    The Game of Thrones board game is pretty neat. Risk Legacy is cracking fun, but is basically just risk but with stupid gimmicks added. Settlers of Catan is a good gateway to "proper" board games, and pandemic is decent but I don't really like the co-operative nature of it. I wanna crush my dickhead friends not work with them.

    I've always enjoyed Settlers of Catan, but you do need to play with good people. It's tremendous fun.

    I didn't like Pandemic at all, and I thought that Carcassonne was alright enough. Monopoly and Risk are dire. Scrabble's alright, but I'm terrible at it.
