    We’ve had the Knorr one for the last 20+ years so it wouldn’t be the same. It’s added faff too. I’d say I’ll get it somewhere before the day.

    I'm in Bristol visiting friends and family this weekend. Accidentally walked through the Christmas market in the middle of town earlier, absolute hellscape.

    Also saw a man that appeared to be stumbling home from a night out at about 9am, only he had a freshly stapled skull and was covered in blood. As a resident of the bushy suburbs of Glasgow this was deeply shocking.

    Put a generous amount of oil (or goose fat) on a baking tray. Put in oven. 200c / gas mark 6.

    Put peeled, chopped potatoes in saucepan. Cover with water, add salt. Bring to boil, simmer for 5 minutes. Drain. Put potatoes back in pan, put lid on. Shake / bash about until potatoes are fluffy on outside.

    Empty onto baking tray, turn them to coat in oil / fat, back in the oven, turn every now and then, Bob's your uncle.

    Soak them for a couple of hours in water mixed with half a cup of salt beforehand too and then wash the starchy water off.

    What, because it's got the word faggot in it? I think whenever the row happens about it they pretty much shrug rather than wading into the "I CAN USE WHATEVER WORDS I LIKE, SNOWFLAKE" side of the argument.

    And whoever runs their twitter telling Laurence Fox to fuck off probably won them some further credit.

    I'm pretty sure the radio stations here stopped playing it last year, or some of them did and the rest bleep it.

    There was a fella on Masterchef Professionals the other night cooking faggots, and every time he said it I felt the forces of woke rattling their sabres inside me. Faggots faggots faggots faggots. Then Marcus Wareing would say faggots, then Monica would say faggots, then Jay Rayner would say faggots, it was like a sudden outbreak of all the 'faggot's that haven't been said on all the channels throughout the year, condensed into a three-minute spell on Masterchef.

    Surprised they haven't been renamed Lamb Spheres or something.

    They get away with it because they argue that the couple in the song are meant to be a couple of scum bags and the homophobia is part of that.

    I mean, there are clearly ABSOLUTELY NO SIMILARITIES between the artist(s) and the subject matter of the song, so it seems a fair defence.

    Yes I was the same. Aren't they just a meatball+ anyway?

    I've never tried them, one thing that my parents ate when I was little that I seemingly turned my nose up at because they always did them with mushy peas and the whole affair smelled to high heaven.

    Ive just realised that the lamp ive had on my table for about six months. When i turn it on and turn off the main lights. Given the time of year, fits right in with the festive spirit.

    And that's your tree sorted.

    It's my last day of isolation tomorrow, and I've managed to pretty much avoid all Christmas related things up until now. It's going to be odd going in to work on Thursday straight into the nativity play.

    They are inferior to the proper butchers ones by miles. I only started having them due to my west country wife introducing me to them, now we regularly have them brought up as they are impossible to obtain up here. The closest I have seen are savoury ducks which are alright, but a couple of faggots with mash, peas and gravy are top tier eating.

    Beef dripping is the best fat choice by far. So much more flavour than goose fat. Can buy it on Amazon now with plenty of time for Christmas. You can thank me later.

    I've had "proper" ones and they're basically just meatballs, and way too firm. I want my faggots to turn to mush when I touch them.

    The weren't cooked properly and were crap then, the real deal ones are far above a meatball.

    My wife went to bed early so I've just spent ten minutes searching around the house for the bloody elf. I can only presume she's done something with it already because I can't find it.

    First thing we hear in the morning is I can't wait to see what Twinkle's done so it's already out of hand.

    Nah. It's not one of those paedo looking cheapo elf on the shelf shite. It's a decent elf teddy so when he stops getting upto mischief, he's a nice toy to have around.

    How did your parents tackle the birthday being in close proximity to Christmas? I grew up with a lad who was born on the day and they gave him two sets worth. Severely underperforming in life last I checked.

    I once worked with a girl that was born on Christmas Eve. She had a small birthday then, and a propper one in June. "like the Queen I am hahahaha", she'd say. I hated that bint.

    Yeah, I'd have guessed a few years older than me (33-35 bracket) but mostly because I associate awkward quirkiness with that indie era of the mid-noughties.

    I dont see any benefit in looking younger as a man. That's a benefit for the chicks and it's a slim benefit.
