What kind of pen are you thinking of hik? Looks more like a multitool to me! Is it like a holly top?

[R-Tape]

This is what a Christmas pen is to me—the Parker Jotter pen™ . They weren't that expensive, but they had an aura of nobility about them. It made an average schoolboy feel like the Marquess of Bath.

There are 2^64 = 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 (about 18 quintillion) possible 8x8 UDGs.

Although only a small percentage of them look meaningful, and only a percentage of those can be interpreted as Christmas related theme... I still suspect we won't exhaust them all very soon.

OK, this thread convinced me I was wrong:

Apparently a large percentage of them look meaningful, and almost all of those can be interpreted as Christmas related theme!

I’m obviously not dunk enough yet then…

Doubles as "Xanos the Destroyer of Worlds" during the non-festive season.

A sausage roll. A family treat baked every Christmas eve as a warning to the cardiovascular system of the onslaught that is to come.

Some yummy Stollen.

Scalextric. Both cars derailed during overzealous cornering.

Ha. Love the second one - leaves a bit to the imagination.

It's been a bargain purchase on eBay. Probably a cheap Chinese copy. There's also an 'l' missing in the brand on the package.

Nice prawn.










Is this as it's meant to be? In which case it's a crayfish with toggled claws.

What's the Christmas link? Is festive seafood a Spanish thing? I suppose Prawn Cocktail is a common Xmas day starter in the UK.

[hikoki]

Hmm you may be right. I think only King prawns are typical. Grilled or rather baked like this recipe

[R-Tape]

Garlic?! AT CHRISTMAS?????!!!!!

Please follow the Great British recipe in future:

-Prawns. Small. Looking a bit sorry for themselves after defrosting
-Tomato ketchup
-Mayonnaise or Salad Cream
-Iceberg lettuce

Put lettuce in the bottom of a wine glass. Follow with prawns. Mix ketchup and mayo. Dribble onto prawns.

Grind pepper on top, and a few dashes of tabasco if you want to be posh.

[hikoki]

Garlic???? Yes we use Garlic and Olive oil everywhere though I may try your recipe. I would prefer white pepper instead.


Lamb Chops are also usual at Christmas.
