    Wot ho Mr H. A firm handshake indeed old chap.

    Clarissa - oh I say. Mistletoe. Mwoa mwoa. Fragrant dear. Resplendant cleavage.

    Lovely nuts Simon.

    Pulled a cracker yet sweet ally? Stockings down. Snort.

    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.

    jc not arrived yet? He'd be late for his own birthday. Kippers - I say squire, put that maid down. Bring me another Houseboy, this one's split. Nice cravat Drew.

    Emmett has slipped up the back passage with Miss P for a spot of croquet on the rolling lawn.

    I love you all!

  7. Apologies re. Sir Dickie - been at the sauce. Not been the same since the incident with the verger in the back passage. Chin chin.

  11. 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.
    A verry happy christmas to you and yours, Davy, decking the halls and god resting your merries and all.

  17. Merry 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

  19. Thanks for all your blogging over the last year. Meli kliseumaseu jal ji naego saehae pog manhi pateuseyo.

    Did you know that Oliver Cromwell introduced a law prohibiting the eating of mince pies at Christmas which has never been repealed?

  20. 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…

  21. Michael, the pouffe in the vestibule is all yours.

    Adam - Oliver Cromwell? A gloomy indie fan if ever I met one, not a disco bone in his body. Enjoy your Turkey! (sorry...) x
