  1. Basting the turkey, is that a euphemism? For as long as it takes?:p

    Whatever turns your crank for a happy Christmas.

  6. Yeah. They’re very realistic. You can’t buy black ones until you have earned a sort of licence by playing 3 Airsoft games within 2 months. We are already planning an armoury. An MG42 is next on the shopping list.

  8. That’s absolutely awesome! And thanks for reassuring us that we are not alone in our immaturity. :D

    I reckon that left to their own devices (ie: without women to nag them*) men would probably never properly grow up :joy:


    * Don’t @ me @Ducbird - you know I’m right ;)

  9. The place i go shooting does air rifles/pistols, airsoft and archery

    If a member buys a new airsoft gun or rifle, they have to stand down range and all the other members take it in turns to shoot him with his new gun :joy:

    My youngest wanted to get in to airsoft, he was happy shooting, right up until we decided that he needed to find out if he could take being shot

    About five of us shot the shit out of him :joy:

  12. Good, so have we.

    Day consisted of being woken by my grandson shoving an orange in my face that Santa had apparently left for me.
    Followed by breakfast, a walk with the dogs as well, followed by apéritif’s, followed by a big lunch, followed by a nap followed by a quiz, followed by bed. Full Christmas Day I’d say.

  14. I've deleted all the banking apps off my main phone. I've got them on my tablet and on a spare phone (different number) but I just want to slow myself down to stop being rushed,
     
  15. Have you put them on your iPad? ;)

  16. Not yet. I haven't really sussed the iPad out yet. That is something that I intend to do, so all the banking apps will be there.
     
  17. Ive just emptied the car of all the crap I had in there, ready to transfer it all to my new car on Monday :)

  18. Started the day at 05.30hrs peeling potatoes and getting them on to boil.

    We'd scoffed all the roasties yesterday, and there's no way I wasn't making Bubble & Squeak when we got back from the morning dog walk on the one day of the year when I can put left over Sprouts and Honey baked Parsnips in it with the other left-overs.
    No choice but to boil up some tatties before going out to work up a breakfast appetite.

  19. Mother taught me to give them a good rattle around in the (Drained) saucepan about 50yrs ago, but I've only recently been adding a crumbled up veg stock cube over them after a first basting.

    Oh and for the love of God, NO to Goose fat, It flavours them too much to enjoy them for what they are.
