Christmas Dins:  A revelation in the news about families choosing curry instead of turkey this Christmas led us on to the classic debate – do you go traditional or have something a little bit different for your Christmas lunch?  Some reported meats like wild boar or goose or duck at dinner, whilst the more inventive went for Christmas stew… One caller confessed to cooking frozen pizza and chips for the family one year, without burning it. Genius!

Big Bums:  According to new research, sitting down on your bum will make it bigger.  This is because the mechanical load upon the fat cells of one’s behind causes them to stretch past their elastic limit, meaning that they retain the wider, squished shape.  Chris quite rightly made the point that this could be why some people’s bums look like the chair’s they’re sat in.

The Tree:  Last night, we erected the great Christmas Tree of Fairford Leys in my little flat.  I don’t there has ever been a less appropriate use of the word ‘great…’  Anyway, we were somewhat disturbed when we opened the box to see that, due to our haste when putting it away in January, we bent the top of the tree into the container, leaving it with a 45 degree angle on the end.  At least it’ll be comfortable for the fairy, who gets to sit atop a branch parallel with the floor rather than…the other option…
