Not wanting to attract the glass house comment but quality is preferable to quantity Sir C. I for one do not want to hear about every US person who has ever pulled on a sports shirt who has sadly passed. Maybe if you ran that game you suggested it would keep you fully occupied. (I do like many of your posts but I skip an awful lot) Fair enough, but I don't think I've presented that in my posts. That said please feel free to erase US and insert UK in particular TV shows (and actors therein) I've never heard of and politicians ditto. SC And I get 'likes' 17% of the time. Not including the one you'll give me for this post Bibliogryphon :-) SC Maybe so, but you need to factor in the fact that there's no 'dislike' button. .............or to put it into greater perspective, 83% of your posts are probably disliked. I didn't like to say .....

Director-general: You have strong Eurocrat skills, consider coming over to the Dark Side. 9 out of 12 Director-general: You have strong Eurocrat skills, consider coming over to the Dark Side. 8 out of 12m SC I got 4 out of 12, which I was pleased with, considering I've only seen the first one, and that was a long time ago in a galaxy far far aw

In answer to your original question: we'd do what we did last time we had a major power cut. Go for a drive and charge up our devices in the car. But as you're probably not old enough to drive, you wouldn't have thought of that.

However one think that does annoy me about Christmas is how negative many of my fellow Christians are about the whole experience. What churches should see is that Christmas is an opportunity, as this is the only time in the year many people would enter a church. This is an event of joy in the Christian calander and the whole no tinsel/santa/presents/anti-commercialism will likely put off the casual visitor. An opportunity that has been seized by our village church. It has floodlighting which is seldom used because of cost. Last year people were invited to sponsor the lights, choosing a day in memory of a loved one - or for any other reason. This went down extremely well with believers and non-believers alike. It was massively oversubscribed and has been again this December. Looks lovely, and raised lots of money for the church (which is an ancient crumbling one in need of the funds).

No.

St Bertie Ahern Primary School, love it. Also the people in the comments taking it seriously

"Bearing a striking resemblance to Michael Jackson, the 44-year-old actor had the same long black locks, pale skin and dark glasses that were sported by the late singer." Striking resemblance, my arse. He's got shoulder-length dark hair, nothing unusual, and like millions of others on a sunny day, he's wearing shades. Er ... that's it.

The only way I can wash mine is with a rag on a very long stick. And if I was going to call someone something to do with a dirty cunt, I'd just call them a dirty cunt Quite I confess to being unaware that people do such things The vaginal cavity is self-cleaning, and over-enthusiastic washing can leave you prone to thrush and other infections. As for sticking things up your own arse, well each to his own I suppose.

I'm just grateful for the 'waking up' part of it

Is it too late to suggest the introduction of another bonus? Since 2009, when I scored with Dai Llewellyn and Patrick McGoohan on the same day (ooer missus) I've felt that a deadly double ought to be worth an extra point or two. Or is that greedy? Those two gents did bring me lucky 13 bonuses, so that softened the blow.

The use of the words 'douche' and 'douchebag' as insults. What's that about? Douche to me is an innocuous term, merely the French word for shower. How did this come to be adopted by our American cousins as a defamatory epithet?

FTFY.

Oscar Pisspoorstorius for me. And, as a bonus, all his pack of abettors and enablers.

May I suggest an alternative:

and spelling. I was just going to point that one out Aye, sorted, so there's an entrance exam from now on asking to distinguish between their/they're/there and in what circumstances one might usefully employ a semi-colon And the correct usage of 'less' and 'fewer'.

Well that's 32% of the forum members out of the door. Where shall we find another forum to inhabit Lardy? Mumsnet?

I don't think she looks too bad. The short hairstyle isn't a good look on her though.

I feel so sorry for the poor people behindyou. I was holding my camera on my knee the whole time. " Dirtracer18 Geoffrey got home and realised his videos were terrible, with blurry vision and distorted sound. He posted them on the internet anyway. No one watched them."

Sorry Phantom. It's been a crap year for unexpected deaths and terminal diagnoses here too, so I sympathise.

I went to see Public Service Broadcasting at Brixton Academy recently, and they showed that at the start of the gig. Excellent show, can recommend seeing these guys live.
