Grab a Scotch or a rum toddy and enjoy the story of plucky but basically incompetent Dave as he endeavours to show his wife, Morley, that he can shoulder the responsibility of cooking the Christmas turkey.....

Merry Christmas from America's quiet and polite upstairs neighbour....

Lastly, I rarely start a thread here, James Brown hasn't posted here since before the new year, and neither of us can hold a candle to Richard's proliferation. Other than that, point taken.

The guy cracks me up. If you want to know something about someone here on A-Mart, what moron would start with an internet search instead of simply looking at their profile?
