I have to make the marzipan for the cake tomorrow. It needs more brandy in the cake so can't do it sooner. Better late than never.

Yeh - I usually start in October but we seldom eat any over the Xmas period. Instead of poking holes in it for the brandy to run in I went over it with a fork. 2 big table spoons full disappear pretty quickly now. I should have time for 10 or so of those.

I make the marzipan from scratch. Can't stand the bought stuff. Usually the icing too but they want the roll on stuff this year.

Xmas day is cook the turkey and make the stuffing for me. Hope I can find the thermometers. I use a web method from America. Hot for a rather short time and then rather low. It does tend to keep them moist. Not too sure about over night cooking temperatures that can go for as long as you like. Some still do that in Arga's.

Happy Christmas and Best Wishes for 2017 to all of you who provide me with interest and entertainment throughout the year.

Sorry I've not got much more to contribute than my annual plug for Model Engineers' Day at the Forncett Steam Museum. (Whoops! That's another plug isn't it?)

Hi all, and all the best.........

swimbo was most annoyed as the Chrissy cake is a third gone already, a couple of mates turned up......cant drink T and not have cake......it was calling to me from inside the tin......

seemed a shame to see it there and not see if it were poisoned.....hahaha.......

have a brilliant New Year as well.........Clogs........

A happy Christmas & new year to you all! Thanks for the banter, bitching, sarcasm and the enormous diversity of knowledge and skills which we all share so freely that makes this such a vibrant, entertaining and educative forum!

Kind regards Martin.

Merry Christmas everyone

Wishing all members what they would wish themselves.

However, as one of the birthday/Xmas more-or-less combined cohort, I long ago opted for the Bah, Humbug! side of things. Always used to volunteer for working Xmas and New Year. My long-suffering SWMBO found a remarkably apposite card for this year's festivities ...

Bullseye!!

and Season's greetings

All the best everyone .....

Not long now....

Best wishes from me and 'Er-indoors' Merry Christmas everyone.

Yep, a merry christmas to one and all. Just don't go driving them machines while under the affluence of incahol!

I trust there will be some forum moderators on duty tomorrow

I dropped in to work in passing this morning to pick up my laptop psu annoyingly left behind. There was just the one other car outside and the one security guard so I could be the only person he got to talk to all day until the shift change. I think tomorrow's duty roster will be even quieter.

One of the best this year .......... good grief ! - that could be a picture of me.......!

Seasons greetings to all - don't go too mad with the cooking sherry.
