    Just cracked open the "Caramel Coffee" Matchmakers and they are incredible.

    I offered to teach my colleague how to ride a bike, but they said they don't need to know how. For your own sake. Surely it's just embarrassing not being able to.

    I work at a printers, a guy in his 40s came into my shop on Tuesday asking for a photo to be printed onto a pillow for a Christmas present. I said sure just email the photo over from your phone and he told me 'No I can't do that because I can't read or write, can I not just plug my phone into the printer'. I said no and I could have just got on with my day but he was wearing the uniform of the local civil engineering company and I spend the rest of my day wondering what he's been working on and if it'll kill me.

    I don't know how to ride a bike

    When I was learning (at 8) my Dad bought me a 60cc quad bike. Never touched the bicycle again.

    When I went to Centre Parcs a few years ago I was rolling round in a tricycle. Was pretty boss as you could do wheelies when cornering and it has a luggage rack between the back wheels.

    How does he even use a phone if he can't read or write?

    Good man. Can't believe there are people out there eating poultry roast dinners without bread sauce. They don't know what they're missing.

    I'd have it over gravy if I could only pick one of them.

    Same.

    Bread sauce on the turkey and gravy on the spuds though.

    Is it just bechamel sauce but with breadcrumbs instead of a roux? Sounds a bit bleh.

    It's white sauce, if that's what bechamel is. It's more oniony too though.

    Yeah, milk based, usually flavoured with onion/parsley stalks/peppercorns/nutmeg etc.

    Think I was offered it as a youth once but thought it sounded rank and never looked back.

    Does it end up being really thick like a condiment or is it saucy?

    It's not bechamel style.

    It's basically just milk and butter (plus cream if you want) with bread or breadcrumbs.

    In my line of work I meet people that say they "can't read" quite often. They usually can to an extent, but they're dyslexic and doing so in front of others makes them anxious. Being asked to email something to someone while they stand watching them would be nightmare fuel for them.

    Merry Christmas everyone. Having already lost a layer of skin putting together a scooter that can't be made up of more than 6 parts, the year she asks for a full size bike I'm paying whatever Halfords ask for assembly.

    ‘Tool free assembly’ was a major selling point of the balance bike I got. When it comes to proper bikes, it’s definitely an assembled on arrival job.

    Heading over to the family later. Will probably get immediately held hostage by the nephew and he shows off whatever toys he's got. Hopefully I can get some words with the rest of them before that happens.

    I decided Christmas morning was the time to attempt eggs benedict (and indeed poaching an egg) for the first time and it has NOT GONE WELL. Fortunately you can only consider breakfast so much of a disaster if you end up with some form of eggs and bacon.

    Merry Christmas everyone.

    Change of plans for me this year. I'm usually with my partner and her family near Scarborough, but my sister moved back up to Sheffield this year and had a baby last week so we're heading to Sheffield. We're actually going to my brother in law's mum's, and I believe it's full on vegan.

    The kids were up early, so they've flaked out and gone to bed at 6. What a result. Cheese out of the fridge, beer in the fridge.

    It's just a shame there's absolutely nothing decent on TV.
