And a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS from me too.

On behalf of the Web Team I would like to say thank you for all the good wishes but we just put the wheels in place and oil them occasionally it is you the forumists, posters and lurkers, that make this such a special place so we would like to thank you.

Special thanks to the members from around the globe who post such fabulous pictures covering all aspects of our shared interests and to the lurkers may your resolution be to join us and be more active - you must have something to share with us.

Best wishes
Ian

Wishing You All a Merry Christmas and Happy and  Prosperous New Year 2009

Anyone know what I can do with the reindeer dung that I have just found in the garden?

Close your eyes, make a wish, walk round in a circle and it will disappear David. It will then magically reappear on your kitchen floor. Works with the dog every time. I can even manage it missing out one or more of the three instructions.

We had a visit from Santa.

I found this Menu in amongst stuff left by my late uncle Tommy from Halifax. I think Chosen is Korea.

David - You can substitute it in any mixes that call for yak dung.

Surely it will help you to grow Saxifraga or Anthemis rudolphiana, David?   

[Anthony Darby]

That rings a bell Cliff?

As many of you will know, the celebration of the arrival of a New Year is one taken very seriously in many countries, not least in Scotland, home of the SRGC. It is often the case that liberal ,  or even excessive, quantities of intoxicating drink are imbibed at this time.
In the spirit of assisting Forumists to fully enjoy their New Year, or as we Scots say, "Hogmanay" celebrations, I thought the following might help.
So, a guide to the possible ramifications  of over-indulgence which we hope will help you limit any risks to life and limb over the next few days.........

after one large Manhattan....



2 Mint Juleps


3 Martinis


4 Cosmopolitans


2 bottles of wine - shared, of course


6 home-brewed beers


7 glasses of rum and coke


just TOO MANY Margaritas



one bottle best malt whisky

[David Nicholson]

If only I looked so sweet after one too many!

Roger and I will go first footing late tonight. I think we'd better leave the dog at home, judging from Maggi's pictures. We'd planned to harness him to a sleigh so WE could get home safely.

[Carlo]

"First footing?" Sounds like an expression worth knowing. What does it mean Leslie?
