Same to you old chap, and to everybody else at AOS.

Merry Christmas you weird lot. I'm an odd one myself, so don't feel left out
We always cook a large Chicken for our Christmas dinner. We never liked turkey that much, bit dry.

A time for lots of red wine and a fine plump bird stuffed to the gunnels. Then for afters, Brand X 'Morrocan Roll' on vinyl and an afternoon of Prog Rock also on vinyl. No TV licence, no TV.

I remember a few Christmas' ago you and your lady came to stay at the Star Inn at Harome and almost got snowed in. It was such a shame that we couldn't get together for a beer at the time but I was delivery driving for my business and just couldn't make it. Now I no longer live in that area and will miss the Star. In fact there are quite a few things I shall miss about Pickering. Onwards and upwards I guess. As one story ends another begins.Originally Posted by Marco

Only Marco on here could afford to stay at The Star. Lovely area. I cycle round there a lot an often pass The Star. Obviously they wouldn't let the likes of me in.
