Is that Port over there by the gun dog?
My, Tarquin, how you've grown. How's the Hedge Fund? And how's that Ferry boy Otis getting along in prison this Christmas? Fortnums Hamper I trust? Tally Ho.
Speaking of which, do pass the Devils on Horseback Adam.

MMMMwwwah! I have been listening to that song on and off for the last few days too, of course. I've also just restocked with the old Wasabis, you'll be pleased to hear. I also have A Good Otis Ferry Story which I've been holding onto for quite a while now waiting for the moment but I think it's probably one for the new year, however much it would thrill me to kick the old dog whilst he was down.
ReplyDeleteA verry happy christmas to you and yours, Davy, decking the halls and god resting your merries and all.
xx
MWAH! MWAH! and, indeed, MWAH! Mond - nice to see the US military establishment doing something useful for once x
ReplyDeleteJust taking a respite from the great Christmas bake off. Wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas

Hey Peewit, all the very best to you and your brood too. Christmas bake-off eh? Homely wafts reaching me already...
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Mr H and everyone. Heart warming stuff and we haven't even opened the ginger wine yet.

Yay! Hugs to you, H. and Los Piccolos Beth x
ReplyDeleteMerry Xmas Davy, and a Happy New Year to you and yours. No sherry for me, but that bottle of ginger beer looks tempting (you can't get it out here). x
ReplyDeleteYour ginger m'lud - enjoy! x
ReplyDeleteBlog bless, to you too Mr. H and to all the assembled. A fine blot we be, yes?
ReplyDelete"i'M VERY VERY DRUNK!"
Thanks for all your blogging over the last year. Meli kliseumaseu jal ji naego saehae pog manhi pateuseyo.
ReplyDeleteDid you know that Oliver Cromwell introduced a law prohibiting the eating of mince pies at Christmas which has never been repealed?
Sorry I’m (fashionably?) late. Any chance I could crash out here? I’ve already had a skinful and you know how hard it is to get a cab on Christmas Eve and I really didn’t mean to make a lewd remark to Clarissa, it was the beer talking and…I’ll get me coat. Merry Christmas to you and your girlies and I hope my behaviour doesn’t mean I don’t get invited next time…
ReplyDeleteMichael, the pouffe in the vestibule is all yours.
ReplyDeleteAdam - Oliver Cromwell? A gloomy indie fan if ever I met one, not a disco bone in his body. Enjoy your Turkey! (sorry...) x
PS: Jon - I think we get Santa first so I'll put in a good word for you since I understand that this year you've been Very Good Indeed. Gear!
ReplyDeleteWhy you homophobic ba...oh, pouffe...sorry, I misread that.
ReplyDeletemerry Christmas to all.
