Baggy, I'd follow your ham routine, with one modification - draught Guinness instead of wine.
It's the hope that kills you.

Bummer mate. Real flu is a ballix. Only had it twice in 50+ years but not pleasant.

Plus marks for ingenuity Baldy I assume you enjoyed the experience?

My own was a 4.33 kg triumph. All I need now is a supply if fresh large baps from Sainsbury and a touch of Mrs T's cranberry sauce to keep me in lunches for the next week.

I am heartily sick of eating, but as we speak I'm bound for Belfast on the pensioner's express from Bengir-on-Sea fortil meet 4 hallions for the annual AGM/Christmas Luncheon and bluttering session.

Its been several decades since my last confession but FFFS watch over me Mary Jofess and the wee scabby donkey. Amen.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

The Guinness ham was not for Christmas dinner, but a slap-up Sunday a few months ago. Wonderful.


Christmas was the fiancee's mother's turkey, stuffing and ham. Also wonderful.
