I think egg nog is some kind of mythical beast - much mentioned but no one has ever seen one!

I just looked at it on line and it sounds more like a pudding.

This has to be in the I donāt believe it file, a friend who has a farm ran over a stump in his extremely expensive tractor. The insurance company paid for the replacement engine but our friend had to have to pay $6.5ks freight from Europe. The company rang him today to tell him theyāve lost the engine and no one has a clue where it is. Apparently itās between India and Brisbane, you can just image that some courier has left in the back of his van.

It was the youngsters drink at Christmas when I was a lad. My dad would make it with minimal alcohol so that we kids could have some.
Bloody horrible if I remember correctly

Inadequate I know, but all I can say is I am sure all on the forum wish you both the very best, and hope Christmas and the New Year gets better and better.

I canāt see me putting on the menu, it sounds like a winter drink. Weāre expecting temperatures of over 30c the next week or so, an ice cold beer seems more appropriate.

Iāll be honest Hot or Cold, Iām more a Moscow Mule man than anything else these days.
(Grey Goose, Absolut or Stolichanya Vodka only)!
Sometimes go for a G&T and still very partial to a good āReal Aleā, but donāt have the legs of my youth anymoreš
Easily done.
Im a beer, wine, gin, champagne, bourbon, rum kind of guy.

@Pete_the_painter much of my family, both Paternal & Maternal, live out in Australia. From Melbourne to Bowen and many points in between. We were supposed to be coming out in 2024, but that looks unlikely now.
I bet itās BL@@DY HOT up in Queensland if itās 30 in New South Walesš„µ
Itās a pretty big engine in what Iād presume is a pretty big crate, losing a cd would be understandable but a tractor engine.
Oddly enough it can be hotter in Melbourne than far North Queensland in summer. But it would still be in the high 20s to mid 30s.

Yes, I was being facetius. Many years ago I sent an underwater video camera housing in its flight case. Bright yellow, it was, and fairly heavy (lead weights to make it neutrally buoyant) and quite big. It went missing in transit. That was with Parcel Farce. To be fair, they refunded the postage.
We receive a local newspaper. What they write is so bad that I read the newspaper only for the hilarious language. Itās just beyond primary school level and Iām sure that there are 11 year olds being able to write more coherent text. Unbelievable!
Difficult to please at a partyā¦.will bear in mind if you get over next yearš
