The famed "Norfolk Bronze" turkey was on the plates at 14.30, then the lot went in the garbage bin at 14.45 

No good news....

Not good Mike (tell us more!) Not familiar with Norfolk Bronze Turkey... ??

[Mike SX]

The Norfolk Bronze Turkey is a traditional turkey breed that came close to extinction but is enjoying a revival among specialists. This turkey is visually similar to the American Mammoth Bronze in colouring.
Males weigh between 18 and 24 pounds, while females average 12 to 16 pounds.

Supposed to be the finest you can buy (cost £88) tough, smelt off, makes me feel ill to think about it - threw it straight in the bin, ate the sausages etc. and went into work (I agree with the Forum Boss  ).

No more (Christmas) Turkeys for us 

[Phil №❶]

+ Had a lovely BBQ at Daughter's & fiance's house with in laws etc. Behaved, so no hangover. Ready to watch the Syd to Hobart Yacht race on TV & other things.

+ Bekkie soon, feel good. 

- Sorry about your turkey MikeSX. 

[Dazzler]

+ Bekkie soon, feel good. 

Who is this Bekkie you are going to "have" soon? and does Marzipan know.. 

@ Mike, Thanks for the heads up on the Turkey  (very disappointing for you)

[Shambles]

The smell from the Bronzed Turkey would soon wear off - it's just the fake tan

[John B]

Worst Christmas present I have ever got. Father Christmas gave me Pneumonia.  Pills for Christmas dinner. Not long got over the last lot ( 4 months ago ).

Sorry about your Turkey MikeSX sounds like it was well off ( like me ).

Subliminal thoughts more likely..

I have a lot of those. 

But that's all, I'm afraid.

Yep, and as I was the carver, I consumed some before it was plated up, fortunately I am on strong antibiotics, so I am unaffected.
Wife not too good (she didn't listen to me), wanted to cook a pie with it

[meehalych]

+ flying to Moscow for two days Wing chun seminar in the beginning of January

[Dazzler]

+ a meeting with a girl is planned for that trip 

About bloody time! 

They look attractive on the internet, your Russian ladies. 

+ one and a half month left before a trip to Hong Kong

My Daughter and S.I.L. were there in early November.. they were amazed by the diversity! Half the city was filled with shops too flash for them to afford anything and the other half was squalid and dirty.. Although they did enjoy the trip to a point, despite the protests still being in full swing.

[meehalych]

+ a trip to Moscow was successfull 
- I don't like this city

Nearly got my first days work done since after the holidays

[meehalych]

Nearly got my first days work done since after the holidays

Just wonder if it is good or bad news  , for a work done is definetely a good news (after a work a rest follows), but on the other hand a work after the holidays is a bad news (a mankind is prone to laziness  )

[meehalych]

+ while in Moscow I got 20 silver 50 kopeeks minted during Nikolai II's reign and one silver ruble, minted in 1913 in celebration of 300 anniversary of Romanov's dynasty reign

 You better up your insurance... (you do live in Russia after all)

[PhireSideZA]

+ went to Grahamstown today to go and see my friends again. I also got to see my school friends' newborn son, but fatherhood has hit him hard. Rings around the eyes and all that...
- the heat was absolute murder...

[Shambles]

FORTY TWO DEGREES

[Phil №❶]

Yeah, we've had some of those, too, only 27º C forecast today with showers & thunder. 

[PhireSideZA]

FORTY TWO DEGREES

Not the ideal day to be installing 50kg UPS batteries into ATM safes, that's for sure! I have two more installs tomorrow, but I am sure as hell not wearing chino's and a button up shirt again! Short pants and a t-shirt here I come

Didn't happen to find any loose Rand at the bottom, did you.
