Merry Christmas, Every One. Where's The Bacon?

To all Pasta-Followers out there, Merry Christmas one and all.

I hope you all get what you asked Santa for and that whoever makes you Christmas dinner salts everything just right.

If they are making you pasta, that they put more salt than that's needed, but to be honest- if they're making pasta for Christmas day, you're doing something wrong.

Get a frying pan out and whack on some BACON.

Sheep and Father Christma---Fraud.

 These marvellous photographs were all taken at the university's Christmas Dinner.

It was a wonderful dinner of; Turkey, peas, roasties, sprouts, stuffing, and of course the legendary piggies in blankets.

What made it better was that we all got a cracker too, and if that wasn't enough, a little red box each with a party popper and rocket balloon in it!

I however, did not get to take my rocket balloon home, because when I tried to blow it up, it slipped out of my hands and into the face of a rather angry looking accountant. Bah Humbug to him. They left as soon as other tables started to take aim.

"Sheep", there my good looking Welsh friend, looking--- very attractive. She was pretty excited about the food.

Oh, did I mention that we had 3 bottles of bucksfizz between us for £3 each? Proper bottles. The bottles that are pictured up there, in fact.

Finally, pictures of my friend's idea of a good Christmas Meal accompainiment- Skips. Of course.

oh and that over there. Yeah Santa turned up too. Our table had about 50 raffle tickets between us. Did Santa pick our tickets out? No.

He wasn't the real Santa anyway. He didn't smell like cinnamon and candy canes.

Trancetto! (Yeah, I don't know what that is either)

This little menagerie of photographs are all of one product. A product that looked like an amazing idea to a hungry student for £1. You know something's going to be good when you can barely find the ingredients written in a language you can understand (And since it's not too commonplace for ingredient lists to be written in either Backslang or Runes, I had to look for my third preference of English).

"Sponge Cakes with Fat-reduced Cocoa Filling" When they say "Fat-reduced" they also mean "natural-reduced" "food-reduced" and "Taste-reduced" I literally had to eat three of these to try and decide whether I liked them or not and I only came to the conclusion that I didn't either like or dislike them. I just--- didn't/did.

They are confusing bits of what feels a lot like washing-up sponge. They didn't taste enough of anything for me to decide whether they were nice or not. I don't know what to do with them.

I can only assume they're made of magic. So I will continue to eat them in the vain hope of developing super powers.

A Post Full of Lies!

 If this doesn't stop my housemates from eating my ketchup, I genuinly don't know what will.

(That's a lie. I know of one worse thing that I can hide in ketchup, but it would definitley deem the ketchup inedible for all parties)

 I broke my spatula. When I heard him crack, I think I heard gentle tears.
He's pink.
YEAH WHAT OF IT. Real men wear pink. and now--- now he's gone.

He served me well. and then I dropped him on the floor and he didn't bounce. Not like a baby.

This rather delightful-looking dinner was my desperate attempt at emptying the freezer. The meal did its job. It cleaned out the freezer. Did it taste any good? Does it look like it tasted any good? The answers are the same.

This final picture I will leave you with is a student's Dominos meal. It's tiny "pizzas" with melted cheese and onion. If I closed my eyes really tight, I could imagine it was a texas barbecue.

I lie, again. It tasted nothing like dominos :(

Fred- Sort it Out.

So, here we are, 3 days from the end of the world- and what are you doing?
I'm acting like the world's going to end, but I think I act like that most of the time.

My pizza from Dominos is on its way and I've got my Clown (Do not click link if you have a phobia of clowns) here for hugs. I'm pretty cushy.

It's been a little while since I last posted, so here's a little roundup of things you've missed:

This. I found it on facebook. It made me laugh. I hope it makes you laugh too. Not too hard though.

Don't want to poo yourself.

A very enthusiasitc clarinet player entertains Bath highstreet last week with his band of merry men. They were very good, style a lot similar to The Real Tuesday Weld.

If they had stopped playing for more than a minute, I would have asked them to do the Cantina Band song from Star wars Episode 4. They had all the right instruments and it would have cheered up that day at work.

I wasn't quick enough to get a picture of my next shenanigan, but as I was waiting at the bus stop, a bus drove past with one of those full length advertisements down the side. It read "Sunburn is not a good look" and was warning against the fears of sunburn. In the middle of December, I have difficulty imagining that's going to be a problem. Update your ads, Buspeople.

That'll do for now.

The World As We Know It.

I'm printing this off, and having it on my wall as my own world map.

Danger In The Mang

Christmas fair went really well, and look what I picked up as a cheeky addition to my wall of cool.

This fantastic hand-made pikachu bunting is wonderful and I love it.

Yesterday, I went and saw... "Danger in the Mang.." apparently, according to the screen outside our theatre. Nativity 2: Danger in the Manger was fantastic. David Tennant's performance was hilarious and very believable.

Much like the first Nativity, the characters are all loveable, and brilliantly casted. Although some of the children's lines were quite farfetch'd, it didn't draw anything away from the storyline and it's a very feel-good film.

A perfect family movie to watch to get into the christmas mood.

WICKET!
This is my new friend: My Wicket backpack.

He's soft, fluffy and is fantastic. The way his paws are attached to the strap makes it look like he's clinging to my back when I'm wearing him!



Thank you Bath Candy Comics for uniting us.

Neca Elder Predator Figure Review- DON'T DO IT

What's a cow's favourite piece of music?

The Moolit sonata

Sorry.


This is a review post. A review to advise you AGAINST ever buying this toy.
If you like the Alien Predator series, you might have thought about purchasing this:

Yeah, they look pretty and they are stunningly detailed.

They also break. Right out of the box. You see that left arm there? (Their left) that elbow joint has at some point been GLUED in position and so as soon as you try and bend it, snap. Off it comes.

Don't buy this figure, it's pretty to look at, but if breaking figures makes you want to cry, like me- don't bother.

It's not just me who has had this problem, watch reviews on this figure on youtube, and read reviews. They all say the same thing.

Upsetting and disappointing work from Neca, as a lot of my collections come from them.

Tilt Back Your Screen.
