Just me and you by the looks of it. Not a peep so far from tttfn, AP and the other nightowls. By the way, the use of the phrase,"snow drifted, white mantled, pristinely sparkled land of the pure driven snow" could lead to a serious breakdown in diplomatic relations with Canada, given the ice and slush we have to tread through.
Actually mike, I have never tasted a milk stout in my life! Most other drinks maybe. You are very welcome stewey. It has all been combined with some very low temperatures - to which we are not used. Still, it is the official start of winter now and the nights will draw out - what a warming thought that is ;o)
Anyway, what are you doing idling your time away on here when you should be cleaning out The Glad Tidings Mission Hall ready for Christmas. Mr. Swindley will not be best pleased.
Mr. Swindley is no longer of any import to the Mission. Unfortunately he got himself devoured by an errant Canadian bear attempting to find Winter digs in your neighbourhood.
Leonard Swindley can go tickle a brick for all I care. Have been resting in my sick bed most of today mike and have only recently come on line to check on you all, but it seems to be going ok so may well return now the duvet has cooled down a bit.
