He hasn't got a day job - he's a 70 year old retired RAF engineer ! (And a bloody nice bloke)

My friend Rappa Blue, who, you might remember, previously mused on the school nativity play, has had a few thoughts on the festive period. Shared, as usual, with his permission....... Rappa Scrooge Has Had Enough ! Too much turkey, too much pud, I really don’t feel too good, All I’ve done all day is scoff, That last pint must’ve been off, Oh Lord, my head is throbbin’, Shoot that noisy f***in’ robin, What will ruin this festive cheer, Arrival of relatives I’ve not seen all year, Under the mistletoe for a kiss, NO! I’ll give Auntie Ethel a miss, I’l

It's science, mate.........on Radio 4.........you can't argue with that ! AND my mum says it makes a difference - so, unless you're calling my mum a liar..........?

And she's a proper posh bird.......all her tattoos are spelt right !

I remember hearing something on Radio 4 about putting milk in first being best - can't imagine what programme it could have been ! Apparently, the milk is less likely to denature as the hot water is gradually added. If the milk is added last, it's heated up more suddenly, and more likely to denature (which I took to mean 'split or go sour') ? Which I suppose makes sense, if you think about it. That concludes this year's THL Royal Society lecture............

And sadder ba5tards posting about the sad ba5tards, who posted about the sad ba5tards, who posted about the sad ba5tards on FB...........I think. Little things amuse little minds - but bigger fools stand and watch.
-
What do you say to a Paki on Xmas Day ? "20 Benson's and a pint of milk, please."
-
My sainted mum puts milk in first, whereas I put it in last - she says she can tell the difference...........
-
Nope - just a fat ba5tard !

When I was at school, my best mate was called Keith Lemon..........true ! I've tried to track him down many times on various "soshul meeja" platforms, but all I can come up with is that foul mouthed tw4t !
-
Always good to have a decent springer.........as a back up gun, if nothing else.
-
If it's what you've got your eye on, you won't go far wrong with a 99 !

We live next door to a lovely old couple, who regularly give me left over meat, for the dogs. She gave me a turkey breast and a big bowl of lamb this morning............ ..........we even clear up other people's leftovers !
-
2 humans, a 2-day guest, regular visitors, 5 dogs and 5 ferrets...........not much lasts long enough to be thought of as "leftovers" in this house !
-
Oh dear.......now you've done it !
-
When I'm around, there's an immediate problem with recipes involving leftovers..........

The good lady showed me the Facebook response to last night's gripping episode of EastEnders...........did I say "gripping" ? I meant "Oh god, is this 5hite still on ?" Anyway, after Max had threatened to jump off the roof of the Queen Victoria, only to see his 2 daughters plummet to their deaths, the Facebook Stasi took to their keyboards, and had an internet riot........... ...........about Stacey making Max a nice cup of tea - and putting the milk in before the hot water ! What I find most worrying is that these people are allowed to do things like

Oliver (singing along, naturally) and Carry on Camping - "Matron, take them away !"............. The good lady has called it a day, so I'm watching Anthropoid (again). I was gutted when the 39 Steps wasn't the Kenneth More version, yesterday !
-
Waxed cotton coat, Lanark check shirt and an Opinel 9............all good, useful stuff - well chuffed !

The outcome for stage 4 is generally poor, unfortunately, but there is always a small chance of a cure.......and the smallest chance is better than no chance at all. I don't know who's been affected, but I'm really sorry for you, mate. For what it's worth, my heart goes out to you.

Last year, a mate gave me a frozen leg of Munty venison, from the previous year. He said it's probably past its best, but you're welcome to it. I thought "You f***ing beauty" and stashed it away. A couple of months later, I anticipated a tremendous feast.......only to find that (while I'd been away fishing for a couple of days), she'd fed it to the f***ing dogs !
-
My grandfather served 20 odd years in the 17/21st............."Death or Glory". Now, THAT'S a motto !
-
I bought the wife an artificial leg for Christmas. It's not her main present...........just a stocking filler !
-
At the insistence of the good Lady, were having turkey......... There's only the two of us FFS, so naturally she bought one that feeds 6 to 8.........and she's completely overlooked a freezer full of pheasant, duck, partridge and a goose ! I don't know why I bother !
-
I use a cast iron griddle pan, with a hinged lid......... looks about like a waffle iron. You can flip the whole thing over, to cook the other side. It reduces the mess on the cooker top and, therefore, the earache I get about being a slaphappy tw4t !
