Despite being spiky and rough-hewn Iâm sure you can find uses for all of them Bob. Embrace your feminine side. 
This is why raffles are shite
My non beer drinking sister in law won a ringwood brewery hamper in a raffle - absolute waste
On the upside @BTripz the missusâ pressie is sorted
Yeah, youâd think, unfortunately she was there with meâŚ
Just paint it all black and it is fine to use on menfolk (itâs all exactly the same stuff as the âmensâ stuff).
Sitting around the mobile with Brother in Law watching football eating pig and drinking a variety of pickled thread collector items beersâŚ
Oh and seeing Piers Morgan in a Spuds shirt
Iâm a bit late to the party but thank fuck for that @pap
One of the most corrosive, divisive threads for a long time.
Right, itâs Friday so need to get my drinking boots onâŚ
Today. A real pleasure, and it was work.
5:10 am alarm. Drive through freezing rain & black ice into Krakow to get their posh train to Warsaw. Met at station by Marcin our new bff here who takes us to meetings. He also drives us through the old town, manages to explain the Warsaw uprising (250k died in 3 months).
Meetings were good, he took us for a late lunch where the 1/2 roast Duck was the size of an entire Lamb.
Back to the station, time for a quick Gluhwein then train home. Then from the station to my 1st cold beer in the village we drove through 12 traffic lights. Every single one on green.
Yeah what an absolutely great day. 19:32 just poured a well earned Golden Ale

Carp Life.
Wigilia (Christmas Eve) is the big day here. They have 12 dishes dinner with no meat, but with soups and fish. So the older generation usually travel miles to get their fresh Carp and many will keep it in the bath! The village store set up a Carp stall, it was as if the whole village were collecting their fish today, loads of standing around talking. Proper community stuff.
Equally not boring is that the whole Tree thing is done much later than UK. Most putting them up this weekend. Equally not boring, seems in the main tgat was the womenâs work while the boys did the hunter/gatherer fish thing.
Snow all gone, gonna piss down soon
Iâve had carp in Bulgaria at Easter. Keeping it in the bath is a way of cleaning it through as it can taste muddy otherwise. In BG they all have summer kitchens (outside) with trough sinks which they use to keep the carp (sharan) in. Yummy simply floured and fried.

Having sneaky go at the Xmas ham just after it has come out of the oven.
Iâm quite proud of that particularly because I have been dealing with an atomic hangover all day. Who ends up in the Frog and Frigate in a dinner suit.
One day I will act my age.
