The pedants typically don't dawdle on this thread. Consider me Team Oxford Comma, for the record. Also, for the record...Anne was up til we chased her to bed at 12:30a putting together Legos, and Claire has her headphones on driving in F2 for her career progression...gifts were opened before the sun was all the way down. So, late good morning to all and hoping for a nice, quiet day. Hope all are safely where they are "supposed" to be...and happy Xmas Eve Eve to all who celebrate!

A very good morning to all.

A special day for Dan our eldest. It’s his 18th birthday. Where did those years go. Some of you have met him over the years and we are so proud of what he has achieved so far in his life. Happy birthday Dan.

Good morning everyone from Newent in Gloucestershire.
Rough crossing last night but very easy getting off the boat and received compliments on my nice Jaguar.
Happy Birthday Dan.
Off to Wales tomorrow for Lunch.

Morning everyone and Happy Christmas for when it finally arrived later.
Quiet one tonight with just a few friends, then huge family bash tomorrow hosted by my nephew.
Boxing Day we are hosting for 16 people plus a couple of kids.

We all have to organise a game for Christmas Day, and as I like to be a little different I am organised “Cotten Reel Tank” racing which we used to play as kids. Have sent out vintage Woden Cotten reels and an assortment of bits to help construction, modifications are allowed ….IMG_2797.jpeg………. more fun than some Christmas Song Quiz :D

Morning, all. Still battling a bloody cold but hoping the sodding thing will have fully buggered off by tomorrow, when the masses descend. Yikes!

Before then, I must hunt down a turkey, throttle him thoroughly and prepare him to be eaten. Or hope the nice people at the farm have already handled the more sticky aspects of turkey throttling.

Good luck all, and happy 18th to Dan. Don't grow up. It's a con.

Did you make that up...? I'm not Welsh like Andy (kidding!!!!). Happy birthday to Dan...hope he doesn't get ripped off with dual Xmas/Birthday gifts. It's like 70F today, so will be washing some cars and smoking a pork butt...

He didn’t but then that is tame compared to this one…

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

And no it is real…The road sign is a sight to see.
...how is that pronounced?!? And why do I think it's something like "Lime Lake"...?
