Is that the split?

And I’ll do it again, over and over.

Top michaelsing, have a post Christmas fist.

Hope you all had a good one!

Morning, Rick. Expertly fisted there, very well done.

Thanks, Galts, how was your Christmas?

Relaxed, thanks. How did yours go?

Pretty chill as well, first time I have cooked Christmas dinner and it went off without a hitch.

Played quite a bit of Cyberpunk, when it let me, and ate and drank way too much.

Sounds like an impressive all round effort. Congrats on the Christmas dinner.

I was pretty happy with it so cheers

You got any gaming in?

Finished off Far Cry 4 and now onto Fall Out 4. Good to have a wealth of old games I haven't played.

How is Cyberpunk? Presumably you didn't have any bugs being a PS5er.

There are so many bugs it is not even funny, but it is just about playable, and there is a good game in there somewhere.

Love Fallout 4, barring the settlement building which can f**k off and Preston Garvey needs bu**ing, but apart from that great game.

Wonder who on here is Pierre Cardin?

Could be PJ, they've nearly got the same initials.

I'm glad I wasn't PC or Luigi Snozzi.

Fist in the perineum between Christmas and New Year.

The annual gooch, I will slip in sicond

Morning Rick - and season's greetings.  

Think it was the Viz that referred to the perineum as the "Notcher" because it's notcher balls and its notcher arse.

Lovely stuff, I will consult the Profanisaurus later. I do love me a bit of Viz, and the Viz book of sexist world records is the single best book to read on the 5h1tter ever.

Good Christmas, supes?

I used to get the Viz all the time and loved it. I did have the Profanisaurus but it got lost (thrown out by Mrs Superfly) in a house move.

It was fine - fell out a little bit with Mrs Superfly on Christmas Eve because she initially complained that I had arranged a Zoom call with various members of my family at 10:00 on Christmas Day and that was the time we were supposed to be visiting her mum and dad (alhough she hadn't told me that). I then arranged it for earlier in the morning and she then complained that it would be in the middle of present opening. Tension then lasted right through Christmas Day as she wasn't happy that my response to her complaining was to stay up half the night on Christmas Eve and get drunk and watch The Boys on Amazon Prime.

Other than that, kids seemed to enjoy themselves and I drank a lot, so pretty decent.

Did everyone enjoy the stuffing they received from you?

Reminds me of John Arlott's quote about Kiwi cricketer Bob Cunis: ''Cunis, a funny sort of name. Neither one thing nor the other.''

Fist.

Might not be the coveted Christmas fist but the last fist of the year is something to hold onto.

Tier 4 Sicond from the stir crazy North

Excellent sicond that, quite poetic. Wish I'd put more effort into my fist.

Effortless tird

Joyous fort

Not long to go now. Watching some concert in Melbourne... just the tonic.
Other than that I'm just keeping my powder dry until 2021... in 55 minutes.

Off to brave the cold in the hope that junior falls asleep.

Happy New Year, PJ. Hope it's a good one.

Thanks mate. Happy New Year to you too, Galted and Jules... and everyone else of course. I hope 2021 is much, much better for us all!

It's quite mild and overcast outside here.
Fireworks are already going off in people's backyards. The dogs aren't so happy about the noise. Can't say I blame them for barking.

Doesn't bode well for 2021 that it gets such a mediocre first post.

That michaelsing was more spectacular than the New Year's fireworks they normally hold on the Embankment.

It was definitely in the top 3 michaelsings of the year so far.

Fist of the working year, notches, hope all is well in the world.

Sleepy Sicond - still getting over the morning commute to work. Had to go up a whole flight of stairs.

I know there is that old line that can be adapted that goes along the lines of choosing to not type and leave people to guess that you might be an idiot, or to type and leave no doubt, but what is a michaelsing?

No such thing as stupid questions, LIW, just stupid people (of which you are not one)

The term michaelsing, is unique, I believe, to this long lasting thread.

It comes from a time when the MSMTS was called The Culture Cup and used to be a lot more populous with many more posts a day. However there was a poster called seanmichales, who would post and then for no explicable reason the board would go quiet, so any time someone posts here, without a reply in a reasonable time, it is called a "michaelsing"

Hope that helps.

And if you need a reference point for Sean, think Jay from the Inbetweeners with more lies. You'll be close to Seany.

Morning all.

Who, apparently looks like Jurgen Klopp, and has documented eating chips of someones back whilst banging them.

Morning, Tino.

Good explanation, Rick.

Got a text from NSW Health to go for a covid test last night at 6pm. I unknowingly went shopping at the local supermarket where someone had just recently tested positive.

So I went to the drive-in testing set up nearby at around 08:30 this morning. It was quite quick... only an hour wait. Out by about 09:45.

This evening at 21:00 (less than half an hour ago) I received my result: negative. Feels great!
I'm generally impressed with the whole process. I was expecting at least 24 hours before any positive news; not 11.

Morning, peej, Mrs Dagless had to go for one a while ago and even here it was pretty slick.

Had a couple of colleagues here go for tests and the process/ results were much quicker and slicker than expected. I guess there is a tendency to hear more about something when it isn't working, and testing does seem to be going OK.

I believe track and trace is still a (very expensive) lottery however.

Well I can't let you michaels the thread now, can I!

Covid will soon be gone now that the NHS have £350m per week to dick about with.

Have to say that LIW has already put in some strong performances here. Bit concerned about retaining my own squad place with a livewire arachnid like him now about the place. Not sure who looks after the Society's finances but can you continue to afford a veteran sub who only comes off the bench now and again? Guessing furlough is out of the question.

Anyway, I'm hoping (not assuming so that's ok, isn't it, Jules?) none of you were Gerry Marsden. Saw him in concert at the Lakeside (home of darts) in the late '80s. Top act who came across as a good guy.

Similar hopes about you all and Tommy Docherty. You probably don't go back to the Doc's time, eh Galted? He was 92 when he went to the changing room in the sky on New Year's Eve leaving behind such sayings as this one, ''If I'd known I was going to live this long, I would have looked after myself better.''

Fear not GB. I am not Tanya Roberts.

Not quite that old, GB, although I am now eligible for a Covid jab.

The quote is a good one and one that, in all likelihood, I'll be using in the future thinking that it was me who came up with it.

That's comforting to know, Jules. I wasn't too afraid though. Somehow I didn't envisage Tanya Roberts bumping into Roy Wood at a Brummie Tesco's whilst Christmas food shopping as you have done.

I suspect that she might be Tino.

Has a fist been applied to this morning yet?

Not got into this early morning work lark yet. Too cold. No junior engineers to bully and hassle while I wake up.

Nope, but she is in here with me. Along with Darth Vader, Madonna and Sinead O'Conner.

Was a bit of a difficult fist as Julius posted very early without claiming it. I should really have done so but feared a scathing retaliatory pun.
