That's a cracking post. Seriously though, keep on with the pain killers and get well soon!

After 55 years I’ve not dropped a turkey, pissed anyone off or been a ****, merry Christmas blues

Not dropping a turkey isn't that much of an achievement, and neither is not pissing anyone off.
2 out of three isn't bad though ;-)

Ooww, that must have hurt like BillyO. Keep taking the tablets and keep on keeping on, as the old Army saying goes.
I hope that everything continues to improve and you get back to normal asap.
Enjoy Boxing Day but don’t do any actual boxing! :-)

Nothing to do with pugilism mate.

The name comes from a time when the rich used to box up gifts to give to the poor. Boxing Day was traditionally a day off for servants - a day when they received a special Christmas box from their masters. The servants would also go home on Boxing Day to give Christmas boxes to their families.

Sorry can’t help myself :-)
Have a brilliant day. And you too @andyhinch

*chuckles* thank you. I did know that and was just being daft. I had that explanation drummed into me every Christmas by my Grand-Father as an example of the ‘subjugation of the serfs by the aristos’ (his words). Is it any wonder I’m such a well balanced individual!!! ;-) :-)

He was a lovely man. He was actually my step-Granddad although I didn’t think of that until many, many years later when I started to research my family tree. Logically I knew my Dad’s dad had been killed in WW1 but naïvely didn’t think of the ‘implications’. :-) He was just my lovely Grand-Pop.

There should be a thread on family trees. Like Who do you think you are.
