Good on yer.

I firmly believe that Christmas is a time to forget normal standards of boring taste and go for the gaudiest, sparkliest and showiest of everything.

[cornish tigress]

Why thank you. I hope I win a prize! Mind you I was talking to a lady in the village last week who has made one with a turkey on her head and if you press a button it gobbles

I don't think I can beat that!

[Rizzo]

You beat a gobbling turkey hat as far as I'm concerned CT.

Can we get a photo of you lighting up?

Can we get a photo of you lighting up?

Not inside the ground on match days!

[Kinoulton]

if you press a button it gobbles

Where do I get one?

There are usually quite a few outside the chippy in Aylestone Road.

Tried to take a photo before I went Rizzo and they looked rubbish, so tried again when I got back but my batteries had run out. Just picture mad middle aged woman, illuminating hat, it's really no better than that. Anyway the lady with the snowman hat won, and well-deserved. The turkey wasn't all it was cracked up to be, to be honest. I did win first raffle prize though so didn't sob all that much.

In my experience it never is! Which is why I have goose - from Seldom Seen Farm!

[Noggs]

It isn't everyone who's lucky enough to get a goose at Christmas.

You haven't been hanging around the chippy in Aylestone Road by any chance?

Negative.

Fish and chips from the Grimsby - yes.

Hot dog from the stand on the recce - yes.

My wife suffested we have the usual turkey this Christmas.

I said no. Get a new one.

(I've been Les Dawson, goodnight.)

[Bill W (2)]

My wife suffested

Did she suffer much? Try a pultice - draws the poison out!

[h's dad]

Well in the spirit of festive cheer I'm pleased to report that I'm ready for Christmas.

In fact I've already put the weight on.

What is Christmas shopping anyway?

[Rizzo]

I've had a card today with a Christmas tree on it, decorations, star and all - the caption underneath said "Hope you find fun under your Holiday tree!"

Holiday tree? What's wrong with Christmas tree? If you want to be so PC about it, the tree itself is a pagan symbol so you could call it a Yuletide tree.

Holiday tree...PAH!
