If it helps any, we can rig up some IM with the webcam and you can share our lonely Christmas if you like. We've been invited for dinner next door, though.

Mince pies. I can take 'em or leave 'em. A friend of mine makes a mean mince pie, but more than a couple is too much.

Squirty cream
Double cream (Extra hick) is best

BUT

for those who dont like squirty cream, it lasts for ages in the fridge and is better than no cream

Better than no cream, a bit like saying gay sex is better than no sex.

:P

You're welcome to join us for Christmas if you can put up with a 2 & a half year old hyped up on presents & sugar.

Gay sex is better than no sex … if you're gay.

Dunno about anyone else, but I'd rather you be honest if you're not having a good time of things. Obviously we're all here to cheer you up, or pi$$ you off as the case may be ;)

I'd take it with brandy butter. But without the pie and the butter.

I don't like sweet pastry, although I do like the mince.

Brandy butter, if it's available. Cream at a pinch. Whilst custard would be nice, it's way down the list.
