@Ttask .....
Royal Marines?
Gulp.
Erm, no, I don't think I fancy passing out anywhere near that lot. My father-in-law is one, and he has an evil sense of humour in such circumstances. I'm likely to wake up doing a passable impression of a Christmas fairy, atop Nelson's Column.
As for the stout and Christmas pudding, I know I invited myelf for dinner but I didn't mean Christmas dinner. Very kind of you. Let me check my diary.

Very considerate of you. A nice upgrade from the usual midden heap. You is a true gent, sir.

That's not evil, that's merely mischevious. Things have developed quite a way since his day...
Modern day Royal Marine evil starts with naked rollmat fighting, progresses through Soggy Biscuit and then goes down a hole (could be a rabbit hole... could be something entirely more horrifying) so dark and traumatising that merely summarising the details here will get me Banhammered by Thor himself!!

Ah... no. Partaking of the family recipe (passed down through five generations, I believe) is at the invite of the Ttaskmistress only. I don't have admin rights on that one...

Gotta help the neighbours out where possible.
Oh - You'll never guess what.... Our houses were all built in 1865 (worker's cottages for the mansion round the corner). Thus we all have middens in the back garden, from back when it was commonplace!
Oxo jars, bed frames, old kitchenware, there's all sorts in them. Fortunately, ours is sunken, soil-sealed and concealed away beneath our decking, so it's not a concern. We have hidden the midden.
