Same to you old chap, and to everybody else at AOS.
(Not actually looking forward to having little to do for several days and finding nothing but crap on the box, but I'm just an old grump!)

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.

Hi Shaun,

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.

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.

I'll miss the Star a great deal. Whilst I had my florists business we would deliver there quite often and used to set up various wedding functions there. It was only during the winter that I never really looked forward to driving there.

I would like to wish each and everyone at AoS a very Merry Christmas and may 2013 be a better year for you and your families.
Whatever your system, whatever your taste, may you all just enjoy your music.
Kind regards Al

Same to you!
Cheers.
Happy one to you too Alan. Not been a bad year for me, still the same idiot I was last year and I can't see anything changing next year:D

Then, Shane, you're either buying cheap, horrible, supermarket (battery-farmed) turkeys, like these poor buggers, cooped up in a hell-hole:
http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/2934/turkeys.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/401/turkeys.jpg/)
...particularly if it's the frozen shit, or not cooking the turkeys you buy properly! :exactly:
If you buy quality, fresh, free-frange/organic turkeys from a decent butcher, and cook them properly (stuffing the skin with a sage butter and covering it all over with nice streaky bacon, first before it goes into the oven, basting the bird continually, whilst it's cooking), trust me, even the breast won't be dry. You must also let the bird rest for a least an hour before carving it (perferably more) - this is absolutely essential!
The above process will also make a wonderfully rich gravy, to pour over the top of your turkey, roast pots and veg, particularly if you reduce the gravy down slowly, using all the meat's natural juices to form the base of the gravy, and stir in a little dry sherry at the end (making sure that all the alcohol is cooked out before serving).
However, the juicy and succulent leg and thigh meat is where it's at (and if you follow the above, then that will never be dry) - yum yum!! :)
That said, we're having roast goose this year, which is even better!!! :D

Turkey crown for me. Easier to cook, easier to carve and comes out tasting really excellent. I'll be doing the cooking this year with a full house :eek:
What happens if someone wants a leg? ;)
Marco.
They'll take what they get :lol:

Sorry, Steve, you've completely lost me....... :scratch:
Wot you gawn awn about, matey?
Marco.
They'll take what they get :lol:
Hehehehe...
I remember when I used to help my dad out in his fish and chip shop in Glasgow, and when some of the girls working for him, when serving customers for chicken and chips, rather ridiculously didn't know the difference between a leg and a breast of chicken (!) so he said to them: 'if you can't tell the difference between a leg and a breast, you must have a hell of a job getting dressed in the morning!!'
They just gave him a funny look, because the daft bints were usually too dumb to get what he meant... Funny as fuck, though! :D
Marco.
Well, as long as I know the difference...
Yes, that does come in useful in certain situations! :eyebrows:

Hope you all have a fab boxing day and a very hi-fi prosperous new year. I just hope for a Croft MM phono stage myself to go with a new stylus for my OM-30 Super 8-) Now that would be really nice.
Merry Christmas! All 15 minutes left of it!
