Have a good Christmas mate. If you have a roast coming your way for the festive season you'll need plenty of gravy. If you have any questions you think I might be able to answer then feel free anytime

deffo going for a roast, but it will be the same as last year, small portions and loads of gravy, don't want to be going backwards after this last week, every day is a little step closer, just taking it nice n steady maybe you n me should write a recipe book for other poor buggers who end up like this, be more bloody use than what the NHS dish out

just been dinking me rich tea biscuits again

Yep you need a sense of humour alright, have a go at gypsy creams, lovely little dunking biscuits, get them in chocolate, and another flavour, I can do a whole packet with a pint of tea, I've had to cut back a bit on this lot as my weight has now started to go up and I don't want it to go mad, getting close to my target now so everything in moderation, started drinking again, only got the taste for Guinness at the moment

me, brave, not a chance, it's the family that have to be brave, they have to watch us going through it all! least said about messy bags the better, glad to see the back of them seems you're having a rough time of it too, but as you say having the rib waiting does at least take you're mind of it, just need to adapt the days out to suit how you feel, still good times to be had

ahhhhh ......... Guinness, I'm sure I'll be ready for a pint some time in the new year, been on cobra for a while now, anything stronger just went straight through me so no good. I'm trying to be good n not put too much weight on, hopefully when I'm eating properly I can loose a bit, do me good and make the SR4 go better

Chris, it was good to talk to you today and glad you are back on the mend.

I forgot to mention that I have a hydraulic engine hoist rated to 500kg which can be easily disassembled/assembled and put into the back of the Landy. So if you need a hand fitting the engine give me a shout!

Hi Gareth, always good to chat

I should be ok with the engine, got a beam in the garage for lifting engines / gearboxes etc but I'll let you know if I'm struggling

Dipping biscuits

Perhaps Biffer and Chris can update Peter Kay's guide to the best dipping biscuit?

Rich Tea (One-dip)

Hob Nob (The Marine of the biscuit world)

Etc, etc....

Well here's mine, malted milk, the ones with cows on, two of hem back to back, 3 seconds in the tea then straight in the gob
Jammy dodgers are good, 4 seconds
Chocolate fingers, bite each end off and suck your tea though it, just a couple of seconds though, when I was well, gin or vodka went through really good, talking of vodka, get a water melon put a small hole in it and insert the vodka bottle and let it empty over a few days, lovely melon then.
We know about rich tea. 38 cals in every one
