Well, you learn something new every day - I never knew that stuff had a name :D

Cor blimey - I have the attention span of a gnat there's no way I'll sort out big/large baubles and then colour sequences. :D Our aforementioned Arthritic Cat can't reach anything above 6 inches so I always put unbreakable stuff on the bottom of the tree. What's lametta? (sorry - am I bring...

OK, we have lights & baubles, ate the chocolate then got bored and left the tinsel in the bag. Looks alright though :xmas-cool: Our ancient cat (Sprocket) is now looking at the tree and trying to decide whether she can be bothered to knock seven bells out of the baubles with an arthritic paw. :?

I'm with HM on this :D Must admit, we have the decs up which is about 2 weeks earlier than normal - we aren't usually this organised. The decs always come down by 12th night cos it's my birthday and I don't like to share. :roll: I've never heard of 12 days before Christmas though. Whatever...

Oh. :? So I wasn't supposed to eat the chocolate and then just put the wrappers on the tree? Thought it looked odd. :D

Just for once, we are being quite organised and putting up our decorations before Christmas Eve. So, the tree - tinsel or baubles on first? :xmas-wink:

:D :D :D

I'm a pink toothbrush you're a blue toothbrush By somebody about 40 years ago.... :facepalm: As if

Me too - that woman always has to sing 43 notes when one would do - I can't be doing with all that flippin twiddly type singing. :roll: Ooh, a bit of a bah humbug moment there... Wizzard and Slade for me. :xmas-big-grin: Wham/Cliff Richard etc.... blergh :?

We were booked to go back to Tignes for a week snowboarding in January. Sadly had to cancel because of the broken bone in Andy's back. Deposit lost as deemed to be pre-existing condition. :cry: Specialist almost passed out when we asked if snowboarding was out of the question. :facepalm: Can...

^^ Brilliant. We're loving the dailymash - might have to be required reading in the Sprocket household from now on! :D

Yesterday was one of those days when I wish Andy had a nice office job instead of being an HGV driver. Two trips over the Ouse Bridge on the M62 with various vehicles lying on their side just cannot be good for the nerves.

Ooh, proper class! Sadly I am of an age where most bikes I owned as new are now appearing in classic shows and museums :?

Bucks Fizz - Piece of the Action :lol: :lol: :lol: Disclaimer: I am not now or ever have been a Bucks Fizz fan. I had to Google them to find a song that might fit. Honest :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

Is it small, medium or large? If it's the right size I could swap it for some knitted fog.

Metal Guru ?? :facepalm:

Oh, very, very nice :D Last bike was a Buell but my best bike ever was a yam XJR1300. The worst thing I ever did was trade it in against a Buell. :(

In extreme cases such as Lee Rigby's murderers, I firmly believe a case can be put for the death penalty. What other punishment can there be for people like that? And what other deterrent can there be to stop other people going round acting in the same manner? These two will go to prison - but...

Having ridden motorcycles as well as cycles over many years, I have long since wanted car drivers to experience what it is like to be on a bike (motorised or otherwise) as part of the learning to drive process. I now reckon awareness right across the board could be improved through experience...

Having visited Cambridge a couple of times (not in a car), I would certainly believe that cycle riders pull stupid stunts. It seemed to me that in Cambridge the cycle rules and, in the city centre, pedestrians are very much at the mercy of the cycle riders. Despite it being an interesting and...
