All you had to eat was chipolatas!!! Oh maaaan 
thats ... thats... Dickensian 
Did you watch the Strictly final Hitch? What did you think of the result? Suppose, overall, it was fair.
I SO hope Giovanni is coming back next year...
To be honest, I sort of zoned out of Strictly with three weeks to go. I didn't mind Jay, So I guess I don't have complaints.
How'd you feel about it?
Anyhow. Holidays.
It was probably a fair result. Yes, holidays are here.... I don't go out celebrating so Christmas mostly consists of food and tv these days.
Did you get all your preparations done? Merry Christmas to you 
I got everything done. But didn't get to dive under the tree at midnight like normal as I came down with a 24 hour bug. I was in bed at 8pm last night, but didn't sleep until about three hours later because it was so bad I could see my pain... 
Oh no what a horrible thing to happen 
How are you feeling today?
Its a special day 
so a friend of yours organised a do for you xx HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 
Oh how lovely! Sadly, I'm still a little unable for food. So, I'll pass on eating... if that's not too rude?
Thank you Rosie. Just had a bit of an amazon spree. More than half the birthday and xmas money gone already. *ahem*
How's your festive period been?
Sorry you've been so ill Aww thats bad luck. Hope it was an ok Birthday, despite it
Glad you're enjoying a good spree on Amazon - Dr Shopping to the rescue.
Christmas and Halloween are the only times I indulge in alcohol so this year I had the bright idea of mulled cider [with rum a la Nigella ] and hot whiskies. Ooo-errrr... have only vague memories of Christmas [and thats why I haven't been in, sorry ]. Oh well it passed off peacefully. Got some lovely gifts including various twinings herbal teas which I shall be toasting the New Year in with !
Happy Hogmanay xx
Happy New Year! 
Ah... So, Christmas was good then. XD
Still not seen Star Wars. I know things that happen already. Next time I refuse to wait for anyone.
Happy New Year Hitch
That's a shame about Star Wars... it looks brilliant. When do you think you'll get to see it?
[My Bruv asked for a Guardians of the Galaxy Bluray for Christmas b.t.w. 
...I think you share similar tastes ]
Tomorrow! *crosses all the fingers*
Oh yes. Guardians is most excellent.
Hope you get to see it and look forward to hearing what you think of it.
It was good. Poe Dameron is the handsomest of handsomes. And I'm fairly convinced everyone has the force.
That's a good start to the year 
Are you feeling any better?
Oh and sorry for not asking about the storms, I wasn't watching the news much. It looks like Scotland got it bad
I am a bit. Food can be eaten.
Not really affecting me where I am... apart from stopping friend getting through from the West Coast and thus holding back Star Wars... I'm in a less floody area.
Has it been bad near you?
Food, food is good. You have to make up for lost time now 
Not so bad here, touch wood. Those poor people having their homes wrecked.
So behind! Two days left of holiday and 6 tubes of Pringles to go! Un-do-able!
I did complete the true pacifist play-through of Undertale though. So, there's that.
Wow. That's too many Pringles to take down in two days. 
A pacifist way through a game? Interesting
I shall make a valiant effort... Never fear!
Yeah, the game gives you the option not to fight anyone, but to win them over instead. You can play pacifist, neutral, or genocide. Depending how you choose to play completely changes the story of the game. But, they remember vaguely... so if you genocide your first run, you can never get the true pacifist ending. (unless you do a full reset... which I guess means a clean install.)
The character in my new avatar, Sans, is the most interesting... but his brother, Papyrus, is my favourite.
Ahh, thanks Hitch was about to ask you about your new avi. Sounds an intriguing game. I like the idea of winning opponents over instead of the usual.
welp, i didn't want to embed the playlist... only link... but, what the hey. if you feel like it... he does a full pacifist and a partial genocide. it's always nice to see reactions to the characters.
Thanks Looks nice and retro. Actually *coff* games looked like that, the last time I played them. 
Yep. Back when games were games, and didn't hide a lack of substance behind shiny graphics. *nods*
I've also been listening to the soundtrack non-stop for the past few weeks.
Though thankfully they don't take 20 minutes to load on a tape while making an ear splitting high pitched sound Ahhh the olden days.
How are you feeling? All recovered hopefully?
Oh yes... half an hour of horrible whining... then the load failed. Thank you Alan Sugar! 
I'm good. Think I've more than made up for my not eating the other week. *ahem*
How's yourself?
Well, those pringles won't eat themselves!
I'm doing fine thanks... back to healthy eating and drinking for me. Got a selection of teas for Christmas. Just had ginger with a little lemon squeezed into it. Will brew some chamomile tonight to watch CBB with... or maybe I'll go wild and have peppermint and nettle
Oh. Are they going in tonight? I thought it was tomorrow.
Enjoy your tea! Teas are the best.
Hope going back wasn't too miserable xx
It... was ok... They sent our milk to a similarly named school in the east end. Sold one dry cereal this morning as a result. I sounded like the Talkie Toaster from Red Dwarf "Would you like some toast?"
Oh noes ! First day back and no milk At least kids don't drink tea... or do they?
Not in school they don't. They have asked.
More tea for me.
Bet you'd need a cuppa!
Hope the milk showed up today? 
Yeah. Milk has been properly delivered since. Mind you, we've only been back 3 days. And now... weekend...
Bet you're glad. How is your New Year Pringles diet going?
One tube left.
hh42 posted:One tube left.
Impressive
Thank you. I do my best.
Munched through what you had?
Oh yes 
I sure did.
Wanna hear a name drop by association? Remember after the Red Wedding the bad guards killed the direwolf. Well, the first of those guards [ you see his face as he looks in the stable window briefly]... sits opposite my brother at work!!! He's a software tester in RL.
If you're going to be an extra thats a pretty memorable part to play!
I think its cool anyways...
He... killed... Greywind? 
He did! Boooooooooooooo!
