We’ve got young kids and go all in with decorations. Another tradition, weirdly, is eggs Benedict and bucks fizz for breakfast. No idea why, but I’m down.

The scent is largely to cover the alcohol smell. Buy nicer aftershave if you don’t like cheap stuff. Even the ‘good’ (expensive) aftershaves have imitation scents available for much less, many of which are great copies.

Edded a tit

I tried a few and stuck with Eternity.

Yes, I do, and no they did not. I’ve been keeping an eye on some things for 6 months or more that I knew I was getting, a few things since last Christmas. Some sales, believe it or not, have good deals.

I’m buying all my Christmas gifts this month, and all the stuff I had earmarked I found on good deals in various sales. I therefore have more money to spend on things I need than I would have otherwise.

A moonbeam in Northern Ireland is a crazy person.

I’d be more worried about rare earth metals like ruthenium or iridium. They’re used in many industries, not least in chlor-alkali electrolysis which is often used for water purification.

Detectorists. A delightfully quaint and funny series.

Doing anything with someone who clearly isn’t enjoying it generally won’t work.

No, they wouldn’t. Nobody wants their cat to die through being dumb.

I’m not sure what you expect here. It’s Ike asking why you’re not singing two songs at the same time. They are individual issues and news moves on to other individual issues.

Nobody cares where your hat is placed. Nobody is going to see it on your handlebars and think ‘what a twat. I’m going to tell everyone how big a twat this guy right here is. Unbelievable! The audacity.’

You’ll be just fine.

The earliest known use of “thank you kindly” is from a 16th-century theatrical work. It was an elaboration of the phrase “I think of you kindly” before it was shortened to “I thank you”.

It’s correct, though. You’d apply the same scale of measurements to all coastlines, and using a standard of 1km or 0.5km plot points, Asia wins.

In long-dead languages they can’t understand

Nuts in May is very British. It’s marvellous.

The Blues Brothers or Nuts in May

It says Upper Ferntree Gully though.
