You will find your stockings* stuffed with coal (made of charred bacon).

I have big stockings (and I'll route them into the coal bunker for when it gets really cold)!

Nah, I wouldn't use them - the coal dust will fall through the holes and it's a bugger to get out of carpet.

I just posted an Android Article
and Christmas Eve tomorrow...
|
|
|
|
|
I saw it in the moderation queue and it looks like it'll shape up into a good article as you progress with the project. Well done on your first Android - that's two more than me!
|
|

I dropped my first CP article, it seemed to go down well thinking about a second it is addictive!
|
|
|
|

Can't wait to see it - even it's unlikely I will ever work with Android...
Good luck!

I'm just about to start working with Android, as a hobby, as soon as I find my bloody phone battery. Took it out in my bedroom because the phone was drenched, but was in a hurry to catch a flight. Came time to leave the battery had vanished. In one room. I've since returned and still can't find it. I have no cleaning staff that would have moved or stolen it; it is still somewhere in my bedroom. And not under the bed.

You may try this:
The Place Where All The Missing Socks Go[^].
Or this:
Find Lost Objects[^].
Or you may whistle to it
Or go and buy a new one.
The day the new will arrive you will find the lost one...

I have planned a trip to Edinburgh tomorrow but just found out that there is a yellow warning due to heavy wind etc. My plan was to stay there for xmas and do a day tour to highlands on 26th. But not sure if it's a good idea due to weather condition.
Is anyone from Edinburgh or around Edinburgh who can confirm it's crazy out there and I must cancel my tickets.
Thanks

Scotland & highlands in autumn/winter is incredibly beautiful, scenic & BRACING (aka COLD) if you are southern Wuss like me. If however you are from the Northern Parts of the UK (and have more than a passing acquaintance Iru Bru!) it should not be too bad. However the weather forecast is for flying cows so I would think carefully about it now, (off topic, Why are there so many people shopping like its going to be the siege of Stalingrad)

I almost wept when I saw it for sale in a supermarket when I lived in the middle east. Being from Newcastle I re-iterate almost. However, I did shed a tear when I found the truthfully-titled "Pork Butcher".

Mmmm, strange how it's main stream ("like dude, it's forgotten where it came from") when I was a Kid my family bought a Soda Stream and my Mum (born near Newcastle) was in shock it was available as a flavour, as we only had it when one of her relative either bought a (Glass, returnable) bottle down.
Ah well 'Barrs Irn Bru mad in Scotland from Girders!'

It's been available around here as far back as I can remember (though originally in the bottles you describe). Used to be one of the three tipples of choice when getting a paper from the chippie (the others were Tizer and Dandelion & Burdock). I think Barr's had a plant in Newcastle.
Rust-coloured goodness in a glass.
[Edit]
Cracked and had to go to the canteen to buy a tin.

Because the shops are closed for one whole day!
Obviously, you have to stock up on perishables: you need a dozen loaves of bread because you might get fifty visitors who want a Turkey Sandwich on Christmas day, obviously. And they are all going to need a dozen cups of tea, so you need 40 pints of milk and a couple of kilos of sugar. And another bottle of vodka, three more boxes of chocolates and a turkey so huge it won't actually fit in the oven1. And quick - we need a sack of potatoes, I've got to cook a kilo of roasties each, and grab those sausages, and the sprouts we all hate - no, just kick her, she'll let go, they are ours - What's that red thing? Dunno? Grab it anyway...
One place in the south of England I used to live in the locals would take two trolleys with them on Christmas eve: one for food, and one for bread...
1 I had that problem with a Goose one year - had to cut it in half to get it in the oven, but Mum wanted Goose for Christmas so I got one. Foul thing, tasted horrible and never got another.

The whole shopping thing is bizarre, but I can see the not having to go out, allowing for "I'm gonna spend four days drunk" but come on... After Christmas dins I always fall asleep and don't really to eat for a good 48 hours (but I try darn it!) It is madness tonight I am going home and do no work related programming for the rest of this year or get out of bed (wish, but wont happen). Might have a geeky play with the Adrino's & Rasp PI's but that for fun, not profit!

hahah good one.. But you never know, it's England. You can never be sure of 3 W'S - Work, weather and women.

Please, if you go to Edinburgh, tell people that it's England. We'll watch the beating you get on Youtube.
