@Catogrande yeah it was my worst toy ever. All my mates had the trucks and I just had the bean.
Wait. No.

I good mince pie is a thing of beauty. This rules out virtually all shop bought stuff. But a home made pie with quality mincemeat, proper home made pastry and a thin layer of marzipan twixt the two is sublime.
Ignore the marzipan, but agree on home-made. Mincemeat matured for a month or so in brandy, freshly baked and with brandy-infused clotted cream. Heaven

Ha! Dunno if the news reached Kernow, it was a few years ago about a village in Dorset called Chideock. On the A35, narrow high street, lots of traffic. This one old boy in protest decided to use the pelican crossing. One way, then the other for hours on end so the traffic ground to a halt. He did this for nearly a week. It was chaos.

Christmas "Mince" Pies are hideous things.
The shop-bought ones are fucking awful. Like eating cardboard and dead flies.
And don't get me started on trendy christmas cake - the ones where some fluffybunny decides to go all artistic and decorate the cake with bloody Tonka beans rather that marzipan and icing.
Come on: "Mince" pies and they're fucking fruit? Where's the meat?

Cos' traditionally fruit was bloody expensive at Christmas and meat was cheap and plentiful. Luxury item.

This. Those fluffybunnies that actually slow down. And pricks who don't wave a "thanks".
There’s a special rung in hell for those fluffybunnies

They began life as savoury pies filled with minced meat, suet, dried fruits, spices cloves and nutmeg. Thet meat vanished in Victorian times as meat was seen as not expensive enough.
Rich pricks were into virtue-signalling against farm animals venting methane even back then...

Still ... "mince" pies, but fruit ...

When you repeatedly get completely, utterly and totally shit customer service even after you go to the top (I'm looking at you, Volkswagen-Audi) and they repeatedly contact/harass you to do a survey as "outstanding customer service and customer experience is built into everything we do and is a core part of our business culture".
No you fluffybunnies, If it's taken 5 months for you to fucking answer the email I sent to you in June, you fucking well don't need me to tell you your customer service is shit.

@Victor-Meldrew this should help.

New season of True Detective is out on January 15th!

I not a huge fan of the whole xmas thing, but some parts are good. This year we going down to Palmerston North to grandson's , which is ok, but best bit? I get a couple of days to spend with 5yo Great-grandson, and so quietly teach him things that mothers don't really find top of the list. Like how you eat like a man, no nancy polite stuff, and that men are the boss, thier job is too run the place and look after girls etc. Then I get to come home and know grandson's partner, as well as my daughter(his grandmother) and grandaughter (aunt) will keep saying "who told you this stuff"?. Well they will know but I will have felt it not wasted time anyway.
