Saw this poster at a local village hall which had a great display about the local villagers who lost their lives in WW1. The displays were very sombre and poignant (pictures from primary school etc), but this poster did make me smile, particularly the "bad teeth, no bar".

I never said they were mince pies in the first place.

No, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity for an attempt at humour.

Mincemeat is also rather good in apple crumble.

Oh yes, indeed. I reckon half of our christmas mince meat gets saved for such treats through the year.

That explains why one of my legs is significantly longer than the other.

Yup.

 

[Andy in Germany]

I have a German Grandmother and a Russian Grandfather. That's without the further complications of Turkish and Persian ancestors.

Which side am I supposed to be on?

Erm, I have German, Polish, Jewish and Belgian ancestry, but was born a Cockney and raised a Gooner.

I'm in the same boat as @Speicher

Seriously, these'll be the best lebkuchen you will have ever tasted. I also make lebkuchen filled with marzipan and filled with plum butter. And lebkuchen with candied ginger and raisins... Amongst others.

You think you've got problems? you have no idea how confused I am right now...

 

[MikeG]

You thing you've got problems? you have no idea how confused I am right now...

YOU are. What about me? I have no idea what a Gooner is.

 

[Reynard]

YOU are. What about me? I have no idea what a Gooner is.

I take it you don't like football then?

No.1 granddaughter and I had Ground Rice for puds today. Her with a sprinkling of demerara sugar, me with a blob of blackcurrant jam.

Now you've done it.

 

[Reynard]

Now you've done it.

YOU are. What about me? I have no idea what a Gooner is.

I haven't either.

The gooners are fans of a south London club that went north. The south appears to have got Millwall in exchange.

I grew up a stone's throw away from both stadiums.

So I'm a ge-noo-ine Gooner

(unlike the late paternal unit who supported the Spuds)

They're a lot smarter than they look. Trust me, I know: I'm Australian. The cubes are their first step to building multiplexes across the world. Let me be the first human on Earth to welcome Our Wombat Overlords...

Quite so. Awesome craftsmanship!

I'm from the States, I'm a little bit of everything.
