Re: What You Having For Christmas Dinner?
A typical indictment of the Character of the British today & the watering down of the fabric of our nation. . Absolutely no idea what that means? An explanation in English perhaps? Perhaps you have completely got the wrong end of the stick or maybe you go there for Christmas dinner every year? :roll:

Re: What You Having For Christmas Dinner?
Me and my good lady fancied a change last year and went for an Indian at the Usher. That was an experience - never to be repeated!
Partial to an Indian now and again and think the Usher is perfectly okay but let's say it was quite a crowd.

Re: Your team vs Man united
Would definitely give Vokes a start. Unlucky to lose his place in the first place and finished off last season really well.
For me, Hendrick has to be dropped he is consistently offering nothing to the team and not warranting his inclusion at the moment. Try Wells in his position, can't do any worse.
