Plum Duff and custard as an aid to writing. Hmm... Cole might have the right of it. Worth a try, anyway. And a HAPPY CRIMBLE to you all!!! Let's hope that 2023 is a great deal better than 2022. Ave, from the wilds of Wales. Camy x

Ewww!!!

Not the most Crimbley if you don't mind me sayin' I'm so taken aback on my bed I'll be layin' as I ponder the fact that he can't have a bike 'cause Rudloph's lead the reindeer on strike

Hmm.

Thank you, John. That's great to hear! 👍

Any news on how our Dude is doing?

Oh, bloody hell. Poor Mike. Cole says it best: Yep. 2022 and all its rottenness will pass into memory faster than the fastest thing. And 2023 will... WILL WILL be a great year!

You are, and we adore you for it! 😉

A good tale, but then it goes without saying - all Cole Parker tales are good. I do have a wee problem with the end. In my view Aunt Alice should go straight to hell (without collecting $200) where she is prodded, poked and gibbered at by demons... for eternity.

Terrific news! But please don't overdo it. Virtual Hugs from way across the pond. Camy

It's all this modern new-fangled tech. Either you have it or you don't... Luddites rule!

It's been an age since I last read this wonderful tale. Thank you James!

And he'd be right!

I (the crazy bird says proudly) have an air fryer AND a microwave!

Doubtful. Bruin's always been reticent when it comes to wafting his member about.

Ours did it's thing at 2am on the 31st - which gave me an extra hour of snoozing. Thankfully most 'devices' update themselves, except the microwave.

I seem to remember he's a teacher...

Thank you, John. That's terrific news!

Much like the two above I haven't read Laika in yonks. Terrific! I miss EleCivil's humour...

That's GREAT NEWS!!! Welcome back, Mike!

Most excellent!!! I think it slots into the timeline after 'The Golden Porifor', which I'm going to have to re-read... I wish there was a story bible available.
