At the high risk of embarrassing myself, whats the tall black thing. Ive spent far too long trying to work it out. 

It's called a monolith mate. It's there to speed up intergalactic sentience and tell the Firstborn that the humans have left Earth. In this case, it sends a relay to let them know when Carvalho has entered the kitchen. It's of galactic importance to stop the proliferation of the egg abomination.

Left things a bit late this year. Normally done by now but I’ve just braved the shopping in Cambridge for all the chocolate, stocking fillers and other little bits for the kids. 
 

Fucking knackered now. She can wrap it all up. I’m having no part of it. 

Hate to tell you this but you've already had a part in it if you have been traipsing around shops buying stuff.

I ended up filling a trolley full of shite in B&M. I went through the checkout, packed it, put it all in the car and then had to go back in a second time for a few more bits.

Everything but the girl were tedious shite, I hated them. 

 

Anyone making something a bit different or experimental this year? I'm hoping for something that reaches the level of Paul's Welsh rarebit puff pastries from about 12 Christmases ago

There is a killer meatless dish in one of the past Holiday threads.

 

Chestnut/Blue Cheese Wellington.

 

Cannot recommend it enough - have made it the last few years.

I've just discovered it's not a public holiday in Vietnam. That means I'll be facing a room full of 7 year olds at 7.15 in the morning and 3 more classes during the day.

On the plus side, one of their mums is providing a duck. Oven ready, all I have to do is take the head and feet off (they eat them here).  They've been out in the flooded paddies cleaning up all the spilt rice, insects and snails. They're enormous (my last one was over 3kg) and incredibly tasty.

The red sign on the left, next to a garbage bag, is a no dumping rubbish sign.

Some things are universal.
