I ordered my Christmas gift to myself in November and I think I was proper conned after multiple emails back and forth saying it was on its way on its way to be sure on its way I have finally got a courier tracking reference. It doesn't look like it will get here in time. Or ever (I still think I was conned)

Fact is the only time I ever get it right is when I buy for myself rubbish at buying for others

Which is half why this blog, because ideas do crop up in blogs. Rob's starting a whole new business from this one already my work is done

Oh HARB

Even with extra aubergine?

You're going to have to imagine a wheedling voice since CS has unaccountably not included wheedling typefaces

Hans - here's your challenge. It mustn't cost much, or anything BUT it has to be something only you could give, and only I could appreciate.

It's got to be - perfect

Angel that would be what you want for Christmas? Wow, but not (and I speak from experience here) price-less

You don't visit often enough, if this be my last chance to say it before the day, merry Christmas and bottoms up!

Je t'aime les papillotes! and now apart from one more fairly handy French phrase (apart from coffee and breakfast) I'm nearly Frenched out

Bogey, tres bien! and feliz navidas, and that was one of the prettiest videos I have ever seen

Rob, here's a thought, come up with a moussaka flavour and Harbal can be the judge?

Er, I mean you send him some. He doesn't have to eat them off you.

Harbal, I'd say buy one from Mr Tesco but I feel a blog loop coming on

So if Harb had said 'Molly teach me how to cook' and someone else jumped in and said no no buy a cookbook by Prue Leith you wouldn't feel your baking had been impugned

I am cut to the quick. Cut - to - the - quick.

This is sabres at dawn. My seconds will call on you.

Robert, smack up the head as promised

Still, it rather depends whether her shorts were edible and if there were treats inside

1to1, that's true, your time is a great gift. My daughter spent a weekend here recently, first time I had seen her in over a year, it was brilliant.

Molly, that's absolutely a perfect gift, wow.

Red, you're the best, real life AND one on my book list here

The house itself is el refrigerador so I shall shortly escape to the street to walk in the sun, nice out there.

So what would YOU like for Christmas? Someone you bake for regularly to bake something for you?

Fay that's a brilliant idea. Offer some young mother a day off by taking the ankle-biters for a day.

Someone we're related to, obviously. Otherwise a bit weird

Harbal, 2 minds with but one thought. Which is why I asked people to say what THEY would like because so hard to guess for someone else

So what priceless and price-less gift would please YOU most?

My sister loves pheasant and stops for fresh roadkill (this is true) so was very chuffed when a neighbour brought over one he'd seen on the road. Said he thought of her immediately. I'd find that a dubious compliment, me, but as I say she was thrilled.

Ush, I think you reviewed my Rainbow book (I say 'think' as obviously not under the name Usha ) and if that's your like on this blog, ta very much!

Nah, not pens. Was a time long long ago I wrote in pen then typed but the last time I wrote in pen, hmmm, 3 hour delay for a flight, I bought a tiny spiral-backed notebook and scribbled and scribbled and scribbled - could hardly read a word of it when I was finally back in Scotland

RE: All in a day’s work

What you call a boiler, or hot water tank, I grew up calling a geyser. Much hilarity when I moved to the UK and said my landlords had offered to replace my geyser, I couldn't understand why. Oh. Geezer. Got it.

Like I'd let my landlords pick me a new geezer.

RE: All in a day’s work

This is why we long for romance, to know how much we will be missed when we're gone

He sounds delicious. Did you tell him to join CS or do you think he's already being snapped up?

The perfect one for writers was

Wondering what to get an author for Christmas?
Reviews are good – no need to wrap, easy to deliver, they really show you care, there's no chance the author already has too many, and the stars make them pretty.

2012 - the year the world didn't end

String, you know the day and the hour??? mail me! Please! I would open that envelope.

RE: Memories

I once worked with a guy who looked like a doughboy but was as solid as teak - he put his arm out to point at something once without realizing someone was walking past, the guy went down as though he had walked into a steel bar. He didn't work out or anything, in fact he drank like a fish, but he was granite on legs.

Anyway. You reminded me.

I bet you grin every time you remember

RE: Undercover Cops Pulled Over By Man Impersonating a Cop

Wonder what he was hoping for, to steal the driver's licence? Brilliant

RE: Foreign languages

No, y luchando por aprender español, por eso me impresionó tanto.

(Google translate, don't let me down now)

2012 - the year the world didn't end

B, you can't be too careful, although maybe now you could risk some quick sorties out into the open?

2012 - the year the world didn't end

String, there's a philosophical question I read once - if you could know the answer, if it was in a sealed envelope - would you open it?

2012 - the year the world didn't end

M4, sometimes, though, they are an excellent kick in the butt, yeah? If it DOES - oh well, had a good run but if it DOESN'T - where's that to-do list got itself too?
