Fantastic here in Spain, sunshine, a 9kg organic Turkey €22, 1.5 lt of absolute vodka €11 & I’m going to my local then 33 of us of for a curry! Boxing Day is Turkey & vodka day.
I think that there are a number of flights departing today from the northern airports in the UK bound for sunny Spain.
Can you make it 34 for the curry and I will also confirm an order of a dozen bottles of the vodka.
I'm also not averse to a decent bit of fowl.
What time should I turn up ?

You might want to hold your horses when you read the finer print, out of the 33 if you remove the landlord & his wife who are Wolves supporters & really good people some of the Nick names of some of the people going. Shxt house, glum, snotty, twitcher & crackshot, dribbler, Sat nav, chappo, rain man & one you will really like, horse molestor. Watching some of the people going to the port that started on the €1 vintage vino before breakfast is a sport in its self.

I'm still up for the trip to Spain but it looks more like an arrival early tomorrow morning which sould put me in good order for a barrel of Rioja before a full English Breakfast.
Nicknames go with the territory. I'm often referred to as 'Rent a Mental', ' Monkfish Face' and 'The cloud with an impending **** storm '.
There are many others which are not fit to publish on a family orientated website.
As an aside, I am pleased to report that Tesco in Padiham is fully operational. There was no hint of the sort of incidents that could easily.have resulted in a full blown riot. There was even a full section of reduced goods, although most of it was that plant based garbage which is only fit for equine animals.

Yeah....their salmon is awesome...way better than the stuff in Sainsburys at less than half the price.
It's all battery farmed sh!te, doesn't matter where you buy it.
You should know - it comes from up your way.

After watching some of feargal Sharkey's videos I'm not sure I'd have it any other way.

I don't appreciate the derogatory comments regarding Pensioners at the Supermarket. I had no problem today possibility because I fastened blades to my trolley wheels. Only went in for five loaves and three fishes.

An old mate of mine worked in the local fish farm...8 hours a day scraping coatings of sea lice off the salmon until you could actually see the skin.

Salmon is the common name for around seven types of fish belonging to the Euryhaline species which tend to knock about in areas which are predominantly liquid.
Despite the fact that they are virtually unpalatable, some people eat them in order to obtain fatty acids, protein and Vitamin D. They are nature's equivalent of Ketamin or Crack Cocaine.
I understand that Feargal Sharkey is a cheaper alternative.

The real area of concern is where the salmons obtained from & a sewage infested watercourse isn't really my boat.

Knew a girl who had a lot in common with those salmon.
