| New Year, New Season on BBC None, and we’re bringing back all your old favourites as repeats and/or clip shows… Here’s an excerpt from ‘Ralph’s Army’. It’s Christmas Day (7th January 1943), and the lads in Captain Ralph’s Home Yard are trying to scrounge enough ingredients for a memorable meal for Corporal Groans, who is dying of acute boredom, a condition brought on by binge watching the BBC None Xmas schedule. Then there’s ‘The Gweep Show’, fast paced comedy clips from those ever popular guinea pigs. “Gweep!” “Gweep?” “Gweep, Gweep, Gweeep!!” [Canned laughter] and if that doesn’t wet your whistle, well why not watch, ‘Wet Your Whistle’, starring Sir Benjamin Fullovhimselph and Dame Appearsineverything-EVERYTHING!! Please watch, we’re being sued by an orangutangetange (or something big and orangey anyway). |
| Thought I’d try my hand at one of those ‘you choose your journey through the book’ pieces, they’ve probably got a proper name, but perhaps you’ll work out what I’m talking about… Anyways, here is what I have so far: You are walking through the delightful Prawn Mountains (they look a lovely pink colour sometimes when the sun’s just right, rather pink like a prawn cocktail, hence the name – I thought I’d throw in some details, you know, to make the experience seem real) Now, where was I? Oh yes. So as you walk along you encounter an old man. He’s dressed as though he comes from the future… and he tells you that he comes from the future, (they always wear shiny foil suits in the future you know.) “I come from the future, or did I tell you that already? In the future modern neuroscience has proven beyond all doubt that all our actions and decisions are merely the unfolding of a predetermined reality, and that our idea of ‘free will’ is nothing but a comfort blanket, and wholly illusionary.” If you want to agree with the old man from the future, turn to page 97. If you disagree with the old man from the future and want to tell him so, turn to page 97. |
| Lol, I've run into that sort of thing in RPGs I've played! They all make the same "free will is an illusion" argument and then offer you four identical prompts to click. I say "Bugger that, I can choose which one I click, if I repeat the dialogue box or I could just rage quit!" Anyways, I'll just skip going to page 97 and pull out my megaphone and yell at the old man in the book. Which is probably not what the author intended.  |
| Saw this on Travel-Advisor.com and thought I’d share. The Stable, Bethlehem “a great place for those last-minute bookings.” “Caters for All those Special Occasions!” The Stable offers something for everyone, whether you be a poor shepherd, visiting Royalty, the Heavenly Host, or even the Messiah, Son of God. Our customers say… “Very warm and welcoming, though a little whiffy.” “A great place to meet new people, there was always someone dropping in to say hello.” “Lively atmosphere, though perhaps could have been a little quieter, we wondered why anyone would let a small boy with a drum in to practice when folks are trying to sleep!” “Easy to find, and though only a single star hotel, it did have last minute gifts available (Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh all available at very reasonable prices.)” |
| Coming in 2026… Inspirational… Exciting… Eductatattive… And totally NOT a rip off designed to separate you from your hard earned cash. The Unofficial totally not sanctioned WdC (Which doesn’t Count) 'How to rite a best spelling, sorry, best SELLING Novel course'. With our very own and very famous author…. Caractacus Entwhistle. (please form an orderly queueue and have your credit cards ready!!!!) |
Winter's spud❄️  - Amazing how he got straight to the roots of the matter, and teh course was comprehensive too, he didn't leaf anything out. |
| Adherennium Scrooge looked out at the town. "You there, yes you boy. What day is this?" The boy squinted up at strange fellow assailing him (it's a bit like wassailing, but with less 'w'). "You used this same sad joke last year you miserly old so and so." Then he lobbed a snowball very accurately and ran off laughing. |
Thank you to The StoryMaster  and The StoryMistress  for the Holiday Greetings and badges. Hoping that you and yours have a wonderful, and peaceful Christmas Holiday. |
| Day 24 of the Unofficial WdC Advent Calendar. With this, it was only a matter of deciding which version to post. I hope you will enjoy my choice. (In case there is any misunderstanding - this is about peace to all humankind, which is the only proper sentiment today.) |
| I've just destroyed a whole packet of chocolate digestive biscuits! By hand no less! "Oh crumbs." I hear you say, ah yes, I know how your mind's work (Looking at you Ninja Monkeys and Huntersmoon) It's a first step in preparing my Christmas dessert, which is going to be a Philadelphia White Chocolate Cheesecake. Oh the perks of being culinarily inclined.  |
Dave Ryan  - I've tried both and I don't think that they are terribly similar really, but the graham crackers do make excellent S'mores. |
JACE  - Digestives are great with cheese. They also make extremely self-indulgent goodies, i.e. the Scottish poor-man's chocolate truffle—well-crushed digestives, condensed milk, melted butter, cocoa powder, optional booze, mix into a thick dough, roll in chocolate sprinkles and allow to set.  |

The react thing. Not about the fixed part.
Clyde's likely just suing for Oreo cookies.
