Universal Love Random Chat II – brought to you by Harvest Snaps

I didn't mind Bill Nighy's bit either.

The whole bit about turning Christmas into a cynical gimmick, pulling it off only to forgo a party filled with fake friends to hang out with the manager he's constantly giving shit to was actually a bit sweet.

The rest of it is as you said totally connected and at times fairly creepy.

Really very creepy at times and sort of stalky.

Though I didn’t mind the Laura Linnie plot and the poor schizophrenic brother.

Got a lot accomplished today. Walked the dog twice, washed mine and Mrs Crims car, watered the garden in preparation for tomorrow and mowed, fed and watered the lawn. Still had time for a 25km ride.

Almost forgot, groomed then bathed the dog.

Sunscreen really is a glorious thing.

Go on, then - give us the play-by-play of the paella.

Was great!

I’d done batches of homemade fish stock for weeks in advance’, and a homemade soffrito yesterday.

The only challenge in timing was to train some randoms vaguely related to my partner (he’s not convinced they are) to stop their piss-artistry and hand me plates of chicken and seafood at the right moments.

What I learned from all of this is giving yourself a task on Christmas Day isn’t a bad idea.

Would you consider cooking paella for 16 people on Christmas Day a hobby now, Proper?

I’m thinking about it but don’t want to discuss it too much here. I think it belongs in another thread.

Roger that. See you in Hell.

My favourite thing at any gathering is finding a job so I don’t have to engage in small talk with people who conversation with me.

Helped host a couple of friends anniversary’s offered to run the bbq or grill and just chat with those who like to cook.

You’ve nailed it Crimson.

It’s the way I will play it for life
