JanetAnne Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I would find it very hard to believe that any bottle of wine would survive 8 or 9 days amongst this lot let alone years! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancerre also do an excellent red wine. For Christmas pudding you need Sainsbury's Asti Spumante. The perfect combination! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDTRIPLE Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Ha ha, i keep telling you lot, i`m allergic to alcahol. I shall be clinking glasses with an orange juice and lemoade, or if they have any, ginger ale and lemonade. It`s great to stay sobre, that way i can still drive with no risk of getting done for drinking and driving, and i can watch others make fools of themselves.

Vaughan Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Getting a bit wistful now, as I have just watched Carols from Kings College on the BBC so I am finally getting the Christmas spirit! It occurs to me that during my life, I seem to have spent at least half of my Christmas "holidays" away from home and so tonight I am remembering all those who cannot be with their families because they are on duty : They may be fire-fighters, nurses, police, armed forces, merchant seaman or even those out there on the North Sea gas platforms, keeping our homes supplied with heat. I think of them tonight, I thank them and I wish them well! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I too remember those responsible for keeping the electricity flowing on christmas day, those at the call centres and those on standby who might be called upon to leave at a moments notice - even in the middle of their christmas meal to go out and reconnect the power supply in case of a power cut. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatingman Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I agree with your thoughts Vaughan and Peter I would also offer my thoughts to those who have lost loved ones and been through adversity this year Christmas can be a difficult time for some Ray 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughan Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Talking of those moderators, we haven't heard a lot from Old Wussername for a week or two as he has been "up the orsepittle" having a bit of an operation. He is now home making a slow but steady recovery and I was in touch with him yesterday evening. Not quite sure what it involved but I am told they had to change the cutless bearing, tighten up his stern gland and do a visual inspection of his flywheel thrust plate. His universal joints were a bit "wonky" an' all and they changed his anodes while they were at it. I don't know if he is reading the forum much at the moment but I am sure we all wish him and Anne a happy Christmas and a speedy recovery. He is looking forward to seeing us all again at the spring meet. 9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
