But there is a big Christmas pooh ball behind the "A" With southern gravy all over it...

Or is that Haggis ?

It's a Christmas pudding.

AKA, the "black hole" pudding. Whilst not actually dense enough to become a singularity, anybody that's ever eaten a vintage xmas pud will tell you they are at least dense enough to reach fruit-degeneracy.

Quite why it's considered a good idea to eat those things after a large dinner, I have no idea. They may be tasty, but they wipe you out.

Oh My Gawd it's real :



I want to try haggis, but I'm not going anywhere near this. Really who made this up, the Gremlins?

Clearly you're not eating strategically. I always save space for Christmas pud

That's no xmas pud.

This is an xmas pud:

Actually they're delicious. Stodgy, fruity, sweet and absolutely lovely with a bit of custard. Can't beat it!

I tend not to have them nowadays as all the good ones tend to be made with animal suet and enough booze for them to be considered dual use (the second use being as incendiary ammo for siege catapults).

True on all counts. My mum used to make them (and xmas cakes) often months in advance. They'd probably put you over the limit just after one mouthful :lol:

You know something about Christmas Puds guys...

A little kno




I'ts true cos me old grannie used to swear by it...

Is that a halal thing, or just personal preference?

Blimey, castle-smashing density? Methinks a recipe revision is needed...

Ere... happened to me post !!! most of it's missing... :confused:

What I was saying was a little know fact about traditional christmas puddings is...

They should really be made using an old Simmit (that's a Vest to the rest of you). The pudding once made should be wrapped tightly in the old vest and left for at least 7 days in a dark cupboard, this is the same way traditional Scottish dumplings are made which are very similar to Xmas puds, just without the alchohol content...

Don't forget to wash the vest before giving it back to grandad though...

Ok... which one of you lot just called the number in my avatar !!!

All I heard was some heavy breathing and a giggle at the end of it, c'mon own up... :nervous:

[motorollin]

Is that really your phone number Franko?

[Franko]

Is that really your phone number Franko?

Yup... I forgot to change it when I was making the new avatar...

Better get to work and create a new one before I get another heavy breather... :lol:

I had to edit the right hand side of the image slightly because creating a repeating snow tile for the rest of the banner went into the borders and I wasn't going to play around changing the site layout for it
