Fucking Hell!
Unbelievable Jeff
I found a fvcking Turkey!
Weâve spent the last 2 weeks trying to order one, I went to Lidl and boom.
Yes I like Turkey.
No, nobody here cooks Roast Beef and so it is rarer than Turkey
And i have people driving 4 hours across Poland to eat it.
Expecting 9. I expect 3 of us will be eating Turkey Pate in August.
Yes it is going in the freezer
~ÂŁ17 for a 11lb bird, you were done mateâŚ
You should see what his first wife cost him.
45 quid for an 8 pounder in year 1 here plus 1hr 20m tound trip to the farm
Jeez just seen Tesco prices.
No wonder farmers dont sell thdm here!
I sense a business opportunity.
Wait, WHAT?

The timeout.com portal has prepared a ranking of the most beautiful city Christmas trees in the world. The decoration from Poland has overtaken the iconic Christmas tree that stands every year at the Rockefeller Center in New York. This is a great distinction.
It was hailed as the most beautiful tree in the world
One thing I noticed about trees over your neck of the woods is how bushy they are in comparison the the one we get here - the Germans didnât seem to go mad on decorations but they all had lots of trees
I quite liked the simplicity
Although I zctually saw some in the DIY Store tonight, one big difference is Tinsel.
Mrs P_F refuses to use it and I now like it - you see the tree.
But then we do Baubles here big time.
The Malls, XMas market all have pop up hand made Bauble stores
BiL got a Saints one made some years back now China makes them
I want this one.
No. Itâs too big.
We can always cut it.
No we canât our only saw is like 20 years old as your Brother nicked all my tools.
Donât be so negative
One hour after starting
As a child growing up, this used to be one of my favourite parts of Xmas - watching Dad try to create a stand so that the tree of choice would stand up straight
Several hours of cursing hacking nailing and sawing and a disheveled primate would drag the tree into the house. Mum would look at it, say it wasnât straight and in a cloud of invective the primate would drag the tree back outside and resume the butchery
This could go on all afternoon much to our glee - eventually there was a look that crossed his face that could loosely be translated as ânext person who speaks gets a claw hammer between the eyesâ
So in the tree would come met by deathly silence and then my brother and I would would sit staring at it praying it would fall over and we could start all over again
Almost word for word
So the stump was too long then too wide at the top.
Like your Dad the answers were know by Kutten & Mrs P_F
Eventually they gave up and we got the tree up.
I thenvwatched as she pit the baubles on
Shexasked how it looked
I obviously said. Amazing.
What about the lightsâŚ
Oh the joys of Christmas Bells ringing in my head after getting whacked by a low flying vacuum cleanerâŚ
One set of candle impersonation lights and LEDs now going up.
Kitten has retired to her Lidl Tower to smirk
I had a Bacon Sarnie
Got ours straight, no bother at all.
One of those ratchet type clamp things, you just hold the tree in place and treadle the pedal thing while it clamps it from four sides. Then you fill the gadget with water.
