cdaveOr, what I did at the weekend.
Feeling Christmasy now. I bought most of the remaining presents I needed to over the weekend, and few bits of tinsel and bluetack. And a couple of postcards for an upcoming Joinee bit of sillyness.
#5 - Christmas dinner with Floo's flatmates. They sqeueezed about 30 people into their 3 bed flat. Even going so far as to make a couple of benches out of MDF to fit us all in! They cooked a gorgeous turkey, with lovely home made gravy. We did a secret Santa, and I got a wonderfully pungent bouncy ball, and got to watch people have great fun as the built theLego™ plastic brick construction toy I'd thrown in :)
#6 - Another Christmas party up the Picadilly line. With friends, home made mince pies, and impromptu GTA2 LAN party in the back room.
And a bonus to make up for not posting these on the days:
I heard a snippet from the middle of Desert Island Disks, with film producer Michael Deeley. He revealed that there was a planned equal to the Italian Job. Picking up from the final scene with the bus dangling off the cliff edge, about fall and take the gold and Michael Cain with it. Two helicopters were going to swoop in, with a steel cable stung between them. They'd hook it under the bus and lift it, and the Gold to safety. At which point they land. The Mafia would get out nick the gold, and fly away.
The rest of the movie would be spent trying to get the gold back off the Mafia.
