Welcome to the Festive Perineum

What's your plan for the Yuletide taint?

Yes. That is the wordplay gag. Thank you for explaining it, Mrs Exposition.

Business as usual here. Holding out for long lunar new year holiday though.

What about you mrsfran?

Myself and she who must be have been at our respective parents this Christmas, but we're both heading home today, where we plan to spend the festive barse together before friends come down for what we like to call 'New Year'.

Plans for these days include going for a walk along the Strawberry Line and ending up in The Crown in Churchill (possibly the world's quaintest pub), and roasting the fuck out of a big ass duck that I bought before we went away.

"Festive perineum".

I'm off for a night in Birmingham. then back to London for my dads birthday. then it's next year.

Is your Dad's birthday the 28th wufts? If so, he has been born correctly. Everyone else has done it wrong.

I'm enjoying the festive barse. I ahave a mafia book and some cheese to see me across nifkins smelly bridge

Counting the hours till my sister and co leave and the actual holidays can start. I have a lot of dressmaking I want to do, and some cycling.

Working out when the bin men are next coming.

nah. he's the 30th. Several of my cousins are the 28th though.

This is the best bit of the year.

It's a holiday without having to be abroad, haggling with cabbies and trying to convince children that the wildlife is exciting, and one where everyone else is off as well, so there is nothing on the webmail and Blackberry to threaten one's sloth.

eldest's bday today..............when he gets out of bed that is after a very loooooong christmas party at a mates

Got to take the eldest to have a tooth pulled tomorrow then the nephew's birthday on Thursday so we'll be popping over to say hi and give him his present, then I have an overnight pass on Friday to go out dancing in Glasgow we will be at home with the kids on New Year's Eve itself so that'll be my New Year.

How do you pronounce perineum? PerINNeum? Perryneeum? I don't think I've ever heard someone say it. It's not a regular conversational word tbf.

the first one

perren e yum

didn't know that Mrs M......always thought it t'was other way

I stick with barse to save myself this very dilmma

Ta Mrs M. Barse is easier, though, I agree.

well yet again learn things you didn't know on U75

All I could do in this state is give a thumbs up to one and two fingers to the other.

"Around", surely? As in perihelion or perimeter? Perhaps it depends on the case of the word that follows.

Peri (Genitive, Accusative)

• 1. With Genitive a. Reference: concerning b. Advantange/Representation: on behalf of, for (= uper)
• 2. With Accusative a. Spatial: around, near b. Temporal: about, nearc. Reference/Respect: with regard/reference to

My head hurts.....way too intellectual for me today.

To determine the weight of the chicken, I weighed myself with and without the bird in my arms. This was the first time in a couple of months that I had weighed myself and I was delighted to have lost about six pounds. Since Christmas day in the morning I have gained fourteen pounds How is this possible? I haven't eaten the whole fucking chicken and not had a shit in the meantime. :weeps:

So I am feeling guilty and disgusted everytime I eat anything, reaching for the wine to dull the self-disgust and getting fatter by the second.

On the bright side, I am visiting a daughter that couldn't get to ours tomorrow; maybe that will take my mind off the hippoesque shapeliness.
