Christmas Disasters.

I wondered why you were setting off at 6am to pick up the goose.

Did you get it from somewhere near Sellafield/Windscale/Calder Abbey/Seascale*?

Those 3 goose legs were a bit of a giveaway...

No cigar!

Minor disaster yesterday. Switched on a table lamp and with a loud bang it took out the lights in the living room.

By the time I'd dug out a torch to disconnect the lamp then switch everything on again, my local purveyor of fine cigars had shut up shop, so no cigars to go with today's after dinner brandy

Minor? That's horrific

This year, we didn't buy a single battery, let alone multipacks.....

Got it sorted, the local farmer has a two oven Aga. Just finished a late dinner which all turned out superbly and we all got a leg (all three of us).

Feck yer turkey, if you've never tried it do yourself a favour and cook a goose next year.

And just remembered the frekin stuffing in my own oven

Oh well, tuliploads of booze and nibbly things

I broke the fan oven dial on the cooking range yesterday (Dropped a glass shelf on it and snapped it off).

Had to strip the range down, nick the dail from the grill and put it in place of the oven switch.

and all before the missus got home from work.

Told her what happened, and that Christmas dinner was nearly a disaster.

HER = Er! it's a range, there are two ovens and I only ever use the one, you could have left it until after Christmas

And my windscreen on the car cracked

Last year the TV packed up

Year before the Fridge Freezer packed up

Year before that The washing machine packed up

All a few days before Christmas

I think I might have spotted where you are going wrong.

Hot water direct from a boiling kettle, poured quickly over the windscreen works much better

You think "Poetic Justice?"

Nah! There was a small chip on the windscreen since I've had the car. The combination of extreme cold and my putting the blow heater to the screen at full blast caused some minor expansion issues .

Still, Lucky I have full comp insurance with glass cover

Apart from the £50 excess.
