You do know you’re getting the same present you always get, right?

I am such a bad friend. @Intiniki reminds me of this every Xmas and on my family’s birthdays :slight_smile:

A spare bed. :+1::+1::+1:

They used to have a spare single bed in their room which I’ve had the joy of sleeping in at parties chez pap. Fun times.

Labuan has come out of lockdown and opened the bars and restaurants quarantine not required for Malaysians but foreigners still have to do 7-10 days. How that will work for me when I get back to Labuan is still to be determined, as I have been offshore not out of the country although the last time I still had to do quarantine whereas the locals didn’t so I may be out of quarantine for New year.

We did two during the last nine months. Obviously not large, but nothing came of either of them in terms of new infections.

Our house is pretty spacious so social distancing wasn’t a technical problem. The fact that everyone was hugging each other while three sheets to the wind might have been.

My worst social gathering experience was at a mate’s place. Fuck knows why they organised it. They invited people in their 70s, the party was in honour of the new bar they’d built, which was all in the garage.

Not joking, there were about 18 people in there. I stood outside for a bit, but in the end I said “fuck it”.

Everybody does.

£7 for a scotch egg seems a bit excessive…

In my culinary experience 7p would be excessive.

I find the only time a Scotch Egg works in real life is mid afternoon at the cricket.

The “Hic” is probably the telling indication why you find it acceptable in such circumstances.

Watching egg chasing on a Sunday in December.
In Spanish.
French cant pick from their usual 25 man squad so playing nippers who are playing with no fear.
Enjoyable.
Good warm up for the George Russell show from Bahrain later

Wish I’d watched the football.
England look like Pellegrino is coaching them.
Woeful

I am angry. I moved to the Christmas thread

I am going to my first gig since Feb 29th tomorrow evening. Very small number of people in a big brewery which is about a half hour walk from flat. Pretty sure tickets were sold in pairs but I got a single one. I have a suspicion that Frank Turner may be there. :crossed_fingers:
I actually forgot about booking this until Friday.
