Tell me about the last friend you made.

Alt Q: What are you putting off until tomorrow that you could have done today?

I'm still here.
I've just put my dinner on.

Last friend I made? I don't know.

I've put off the ironing.

That completes probably the most dull reply in the history of OT. It'll come as no surprise to anyone that I made it.

Alt Q: Some revision, and deciding on a starter for Christmas dinner

no, sadly not. Just brie, and possibly a fig if they're still any good. Or some of the chutney I made yesterday.

What are you doing for your starter?
Last year I just did a simple asparagus starter. This was good as it was piss-easy to make.

I'd like to do something different. Last year I did smoked salmon, soda bread and made portwine jelly in little fish moulds to go with it

Turkey is alright
but only about one year in every three or four. It's just boring for every year, and really easy to overcook so that it's dry and minging.

Brighton.
Got promoted last season (I had a seventeen point lead at the top but blew it and scraped winning the league on goal difference on the last day), just beat Swansea 4-1 at home in my first game in the Championship.
I have next to no money so am trying to sort loans and free transfers for about eight million players. If Eider Gudjohnsen accepts my offer I will do a merry dance.
