Merry Christmas VTers.
Woken up at 6am by the sound of next door's kids' excited shrieks. And I don't mind at all.
Eat, drink and be merry.
Did you fall asleep in the wrong house?

Perfect Christmas Eve films.

My son's got a Christmas joke book in his stocking...
Why don't snowmen like carrot cake?
Because it tastes like bogeys.
Why doesn't Santa have reindeer in his coffee?
He's on a deery free diet.
Why don't mussels give presents?
Because they're shellfish.
What do you call at cat in the desert at Christmas?
Sandy claws.
Why did the elves ask the turkey to join their band?
Because it had drumsticks.

My 6 year old son's had us all up since 5am.
He's bouncing about and super happy so can't be upset by that.

I still don't understand what these 'zones' actually are.

Answer in the spoiler.
SpoilerIt's the A roads zones, not the Motorways.
@AVFC_Hitz very, very close guess. Feel pedantic correcting you. Sorry.

The M5 goes from Birmingham to the South West, not London.

Osimhen has extended his contract with Napoli over 2026 with a €150m or so release clause
Surprising after how they treated him with the social media nonsense.

Has their been any comms from the club about this at all?
I'm assuming we'd not be wanted and would only potentially scrape into the lowest league.
One of the plusses of if Purslow was still here we'd of heard the clubs thoughts on it as he'd likely be front and centre.

I fear this will be like asking how to make a cup of tea - you'll get arguments.
FWIW, my approach would be:
Use large potatoes, and chop so that each chunk has a round and a flat side.
Parboil for about 7-8 minutes. Shake in pan, to rough up surfaces.
Heat fat in hot oven (220° C) until sizzling. Some would say best to use goose fat, but I think sunflower oil is fine.
Place potatoes in pan and return to oven. Cook for approx 40-45 mins, turning once.
Place in a serving dish lined with kitchen paper, to absorb excess fat. Serve while still piping hot.
Pretty much how I cook them. Only thing I'd add would be to not turn them for the first 30 minutes and to put the herbs on when you turn them not at the start (less likely to burn off).
I often do the parboil and first 30 minutes or so the day before to save time and help make space in the oven if needed.

I think you're doing Gordon a huge disservice there. He's been brilliant this season.
But there's also 3 or 4 players in the running before him anyway.
Even fullback where you're saying we're weak we have Walker, Shaw, Trent, Chilwell, James, Trippier, White, Livramento, Rico Lewis etc
They don't have the same quality that we have in the spine of the team but as a squad it's a pretty good selection.James would need to go more than 47 seconds without suffering a major injury though.

I will be interesting to see who Plymouth get as Schumacher's replacement, on their fourm they're talking about the likes of Kenwyne Jones, and Leyton Baines, so seems some leftfield names have been linked, along with more predictable names like Eustace, Duff, Pearson, Mowbray and so on, Lee Carsley also being mentioned. Hopefully they choose wisely as it's in our interest with Azaz and Kesler-Hayden on loan there.
The local chat does strongly suggest Baines. Argyle have ties to the Liverpool area through senior management (past two managers both scousers) and they like young, forward thinking coaches which he apparently is. I just hope this doesn't derail their season and send them back down.

When I occasionally talk to people at work, through various companies, all highly qualified, well-educated people in software development, they look at me like I'm the wolf of Wall Street when I mention it's a good idea to change from the default pension investments.
Millions and millions of people in their 20s and 30s are missing out on years of growth having their pension sitting in bonds. There will be no making up for that when they're in their 50s and 60s.
It's not just pensions that people ignore. The number of people in their 30/40s who are married, have kids and big mortgages but don't have wills in place or taken out health/accident cover, life insurance etc

Steven Schumacher set to leave Plymouth for Stoke City
Certainly looking that way but hopefully he stays at Argyle a bit longer.
Mid-season manager change could easily ruin their season and send them down (just as they're starting to pull away from the drop).

I know i could just bin it, but part of me is just curious how long a pension company will keep sending financial info that gets opened then resealed and returned. Twenty four years has surprised me somewhat.
Email their Data Protection team or the ICO and complain about the data breach. They won't ignore it that way.

As much as I hate Utd, them getting something out of this game would be a good thing. Liverpool are a bigger threat to us right now and it would keep ETH in place until we play them.

Mike Bassett all the way!

He's making a list.
He's checking it twice.
He's left it at home.
