"What??! Who are those people? Are they crazy?" There is plenty of evidence, both here and at the other place, to support this opinion. |

They're the best thing about Christmas. Get. Out. Top 5 things about Christmas: 1 Mince pies 2 Burnt chipolatas 3 Licence to start drinking at breakfast time 4 The soft crunch of snow underfoot as you amble through the serene landscape, trying to calm yourself down so you don't punch one of your relatives in the face when you finally calm down enough to go back inside 5 Die Hard and other festive movies |

Christmas pudding, with two mince pies, and lashings of Brandy (XXX) sauce is the very best of Christmas.
I'm getting this for Sunday breakfast this weekend.

I'm watching Babylon 5, on Pick, it's so cheap.
One of the aliens prosthetics just wobbled while they talked.

Still a dearth of games-related articles in the other place. However it's not stopped someone complaining HERE about us 'spamming' articles, despite there only being 40 or so comments over three days on the article in question, most of them disappointingly on topic. If he thinks that is spamming he should probably go and visit the Seabin article. |

Hell yeah! If I didn't know that FRANK would put me straight back into pre-mod, I'd tell "TheVune" to fuck right off. |

If he thinks that is spamming he should probably go and visit the Seabin article. The Seabin comments were very much on topic. TheVune's comment, ironically, is very much off topic. Should we report it? I understand that some people didn't like it (although it really spiced up articles that otherwise would have received less than ten comments), but for that reason it would have been preferable to have a dedicated space for games chat, just as other interest groups do. |

Just shy of 600 comments and I'd be very surprised if even 5% of them were on-topic |

Last week when it was really fricking cold outside someone rang our doorbell around 8 o'clock...I found that it was a boy, about 9 years old.... He gave me a sheet of paper, asking "Will you sponsor me for cancer research?". The piece of paper had columns in which a number of people had scribbled their names.... At the top it just said in handwriting "cancer research". The whole thing was obviously a scam...A likely scenario, but I really haven't got a clue what the story behind this could be. I think it's hugely commendable that this young lad has set up a lab in his treehouse and is pioneering independent cancer research outside the clutches of Big Cancer. He's seen what's going on and, in the spirit of Norman Tebbit's dad, he's got on his bike and is looking to defeat this cellular menace. Sure, he's having to go door to door to raise funds but what if this junior Pasteur is our best hope for a breakthrough? Also, mincepies rule. I eat them for breakfast, like a modern day 'Beefy' Botham. |

Eating a mincepie with a fork is the act of a depraved maniac.

Just reposting my view on this topic, it's still valid:
Im going to put it out there. Christmas baked cooked are the worst. Christmas cakes, puddings, mince pies should all be thrown in the sea.
