2009 has been an action packed year for Daddy Papersurfer.
The rash has been sorted out at last, partly by using clarified butter, but also by buying a size larger in the undercracker department.
The yeast infection has been brought under control by a weekly bath in live yoghurt. For those of you worried about possible waste I have been re-potting the yoghurt and marketing it as “Very Lively Yoghurt – with many secret ingredients”. Sales have been slow and I’m now having to change the labels to “DP’s Cheese” – I’m very optimistic.
(I have banned it from our dining table…… so that there’s plenty for everyone else. 
Lo,TG Ed)
Well that’s about it, sooooo ………
I and Lo, she is a terrible Goddess, wish you the felicitations of the season – have a good ‘un ………..
.
(P.S. Why do they call them round robins ? I would have said they were more pear shaped. Lo,TG Ed)
Stumble It!

merry christmas to you, yours and that pesky yeast/yoghurt thing… may you all live happily ever after [off to throw out all the yoghurt in the fridge...]
….. and may you and yours, get every thing you deserve …… tee hee – Merry [not too marry of course] Christmas!!!
Merry Christmas dearest father. If only you were here so we could hold each other in a suitably manly (yet tender) embrace to signify the joy of Christmas love.
May your plums be duffed and all your eggs be nogged.
Fanks ol’ son ……. hugs all round …… *wipes tear from eye and reaches for the bottle*
Hey daddyrobin – where’s your RED breast?
The rash is gone I tell you!!! – [nobody ever listens to a word I say ...... tsk]
Dude!…Wishing you old folks all the best. I see the blog standards have been maintained in my absence…never mind,consistently poor is at least consistent.Oh blimey now Rita’s talking to you anyway making this rather pointless…doh!
Chickenlicken and Grim Rita!!!!! Where have you been? I sooooo miss your incisive and cogent comments ……. [what am I sayin'!!!?! - you've never ever made any sense ..... sheeeeeesh]
wishing you and TG ‘felicitations of the season’ have a cool old yule … and will you please stop scratching anything that has gone red!!
Oh round robin .. here you do from Wikiwoowoo
The modern use of the term dates from the 17th Century French ruban rond (round ribbon) [2][3]. This described the practice of signatories to petitions against authority (usually Government officials petitioning the Crown) appending their names on a document in a non-hierarchical circle or ribbon pattern (and so disguising the order in which they have signed) in order that none may be identified as a ring leader.
This practice was adopted by sailors petitioning officers in the Royal Navy (first recorded 1731)[3] .
The term round-robin is recorded in English much earlier, although not with the above meaning. It first appears in 1546 meaning someone who is round and called Robin, and appears later applied to a category of person with the precise meaning unknown: “These Wat Tylers and Round-Robins being driven or persuaded out of Whitehall” (1671).
Wat Tyler was revolting as well …….
Back in the land of the Interweave now? Hope you didn’t over indulge ….
Of course I did
Hope you and TG had a gud ‘un
Put it like this …… I wasn’t actually killed when having difficulty learning how to record stuff on the new HDD recorder …… mainly because I had a spare Brownie point for crawling over the roof in a freezing gale to rearrange the aerial cables to connect it to the satellite dish on Christmas Eve ……. [luckily David Tennant in Hamlet is being repeated today thus giving me a fighting chance of getting it right this time]
You see – the problem was initiating the Foxsat box with only one cable. There’s already a Freesat receiver in the telly which complicates matters a tad. Having been on the roof to disconnect the existing aerial and then wiring up the spare LNB port direct to the new box I failed to realise that I needed to return to factory settings so that the second aerial was recognised on a new start-up procedure …… at least I think that’s what happened …. there is a small possibility that I just pressed the wrong button ……..
Oh no ….. I have just received a request to record a radio programme now …… *PANIC*
hee hee … deep breath, count to 10 and a pour yourself a large sherry
[I forgot to buy the sherry ...... now you've done it ....... sheeeeesssh]
“I’m just popping out – I might be some time.”
Since I am lactose intolerant, I know you won’t be offended if I take a pass on that “DP’s Cheese” – I wouldn’t for any other reason… I’m sure you believe me… really…
Felicitations to you and your (obviously) better half. I have to admit, that touching exchange between Penfold and yourself has me unable to maintain composure so much that I’ll likely not be able to come in to the office for days… I’m sure you understand…
I hope you’ll be able to come in soon young Fraccy – there’s a lot of filing to do ….. both of my hands and one foot ….. we must get everything sorted out ready for the new deaf-aid ….. I mean decade …..
Felicitations to you and yours as well XXX
Two points need to be made here.
Firstly, find a seven year old boy! They all know instunktively how to make anything electronic work.
Secondly, I may be pear-shaped but my name isn’t Robin.
Thirdly,
Oops, there are THREE points which need to be made here.
Thirdly, I do hope it was a happy, or merry, your choice, Christmas.
BIGGLES, Bring in the Comfy Chair!
1st point – excellent – I shall start regressice hypnotherapy forthwith ….
2nd point – pear-shaped is good. I went to a conference about it once ……
3rd point – Thank you – twas delightful as yours was I trust ……..
Budge up …… I need a sit-down myself …… what’s on telly?
Gack! I think you just turned me Vegan.
….. and for that Jennifer June, I am deeply sorry – tofu based turkey just isn’t the same …. *hangs head in shame*
Lo,TG Ed)
Substitute a Spanish “Yes” in place of Ed and you got LOTGK.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I’ve noticed that – I was concerned that the TG was following me round the Blogiverse – Merry “It’s Over With at Last” and have a great New Year yourself …..
