Was this new announcement always planned or has this just been done? Wondering if it might be some good news for a change... approval of the Oxford vaccine?

Johnson to announce 3 binding referendums on whether to have a lockdown, capital punishment and abortion as he's worried there isn't enough division in society. 

A 4th referendum to finally decide whether that dress was white and gold or black and blue.

Out of upvotes, but may go as far as to say this is THE strongest page laughs-wise in this thread. Only took us 1854 pages to get warmed up. Someone go and find that person who was complaining about the negativity of the pandemic thread.

I had 4 Christmases in New Zealand. We did traditional twice and BBQ twice. Didn't try BBQing mince pies though

The wife (kiwi) sometimes (who is otherwise an excellent cook) often serves up tinned tomatoes with a roast and also puts sour cream on her roast potatoes. I still can't figure out if that's an NZ thing or if she has a serious mental health problem.

My experience of two kiwi kristmases is that they have absolutely no issue whatsoever with sticking salad and gravy on the same plate. Plus you'll hear the word 'pavlova more times in a week than they have in the whole of the rest of your life.

Oof.

That was a negative and right now I need two positives. You know...one to cancel out the negative and another one, well, just so I can have a positive.

This and then a late bid to get the Christmas number 1 with “Vaccinate the world, let them know it’s Christmas time” with Van Tan doing the Bono bit

What time is the press conference?

I don't remember sour cream on roasties or the tinned tomatoes with a roast. So I think it might just your wife. Saying that, if someone had served me tinned tomatoes with a roast I might have just blocked it from my memories. I do remember a friends mum proudly serving me (a northerner but not from Yorkshire. Close enough for them though) her famous Yorkshire pudding. Genuinely one of the worst things I've eaten. It was like the description of a yorkshire pudding had gone through about 50 rounds of Chinese whispers.

In all honesty though, my Christmases weren't particularly 'kiwi'. Usually housemates/friends/other households, mostly foreigners, maybe the odd New Zealander 

As someone who loves meringue, the Pavlova is a wonderous thing

2020 has been an absolute shitshow but somehow this is the worst thing I’ve read this year. What in the world.

And then he'll finish by saying how much he's looking forward to the Mrs Brown's Boys Christmas special. And his favourite pizza is Hawaiian

I think Boris has been perfectly clear that that’s not allowed.

Talk of divorce - it's like the Eastenders Xmas special in here.

I do like a good lockdown watchalong. The Cummings conference and this forum genuinely got me through that bank holiday Monday without giving in to drinking. I'd say it's in my eFests all-time top three (along with 'Is Wednesday better than Sunday' and anything to do with Jens Wildman).

Absolutely this. Labour have been and continue to be pathetic.
