I drink that shit out of cups. Is that normal? Do other people do that? I used to assume yes, but then I found out I didnāt know how to wipe my own arse.

No.
Bisto, IMHO, is the elixir of the devil. Gravy has to be made properly.

Meh whatever.
After being out of Bisto for 4 months I have had a choice of local packet sauces 
Local Oxo
Like I said, using a scarce 1/4 of an Oxo cube for a single grilled Pork Chop & Veg is just an inefficient waste of equally scarce resources.
Secret to not horrid Bisto is to use water from the Veggies & any meat juice.
That would definitely help. All you need to do then us leave out the Bisto.

Be careful. Be very careful. Naked roasting has its hazards.

I thought so, or how do these fuckers explain Bovril, which I imagine is largely the same.
Iām quite partial to dipping a bit of buttered bread into mine.

So whatās the difference between Bovril and Marmite? I have never tried Bovril.

Bovril is beef extract and Marmite is yeast extract.
I love both but if you make a drink out of Marmite it is very bitter Bovril or Oxo for drinking
Marmite or Brovril for sandwiches unless it is Oxo mixed with butter spread on a cheese sandwich and then fried in egg mix.
Bit the bullet today and bought the remaining items on my list (all the stuff for gfās parents; siblings and in laws and then a Fortnumās hamper for my Grandma) so my credit card is feeling it slightly.
Not sure weāre going to be able to go to either/both of our parentsā this year so now thinking of getting a contingency tree and hamper for a potential first solo Christmas at the flat

Time to unfriend them i believe, or whatever the Facebook vernacular isā¦
Mrs BTripz says she can see why people are putting trees and decorations up this early because of whatās gone on this year, cheers us all up she says.
I did point out that youād be bored of them after a couple of weeks and be wanting to take them down, she did agree to thatā¦

OK people. The best method of roasting potatoes is also a great time-saverā¦
Moisture is the enemy! So, part boil the potatoes BEFORE the big day (at least 24 hrs, but up to a week is OK) Store them covered in the fridge to completely dry them out. Dry = more crispy!
Before roasting, shake the potatoes to rough them up. Use your oil / fat of choice. Roast at a good high temperature and voila!
You are all welcome. Merry Christmas

Call yourself a Saints fan & never had a Bovril?
Next youāll shock us by saying you never had a Wagon Wheel either.

I do feel for your generation. My partner in professional crime is only 24, and she is used to being around her family at these times.
Us older bastards with our own families feel it less.
