It's not fair to take a real picture and just stick a santa hat on someone!

Oh my shitting god, what a horror show!

Brilliantly disturbing.

Kind of a Hallmark Cards take on what Xmas dinner at Fred and Rose West's might have looked like.

Kshema Scroogeakkara - never thought he'd make the calendar!

Who are those tiny bad-imp characters on the right? Not Warrrrrdene, is it? Dilshan? Those are the two I'd expect. But looks and sooks sort of like The Rawalpindi Ex-Express, the imp on the right.

I must have missed something, again. Or need my eyes tested, again. ...

Nice take on Father 'n' Son, and Christmas frayed nerves, anyhows! Very Happy

It's Jayasuriya and Fatarjuna - the evil elves of ~~Sri Lankan cricket~~ Christmas.

Nice work on working a cricketing Dad into the mix, Mon-keh.

I've noticed on different resolution screens, the pictures go off the screen. Unfortunately, most of mine will be like that. Which is a massive disappointment to myself, as unless you save it to look at, it may not have the visual impact that I was hoping for. Bad times. The Christmas Eve one is now a thunderqunt of a picture.

Isn't it a matter of just right clicking on the image & selecting "View Image"?

The full picture appears in all its glory.

Yeah, that works - but there's no instantaneous impact. I feel I've let you all down.

Don't turn into Ian Bell on us.

But you reminded me of an old chestnut (w thanks to The Gorge, aka Flash Bristow):

Q: What did the inflatable teacher say to the (misbehaving) inflatable boy at the inflatable school?

A: Look: you have let me down, you have let your school down, and - worst of all - ......

you have let yourself down.

But it's not true of you. Excellent chuckles.

It's fine, those using narrower screens can save and view if they wanna.

Right between the eyes is overrated anyway. Can leave your eyes watering.

'Let down' is an appropriate expression for the entire Xmas period.

Very funny pic by the way.

Do you have a third family Xmas dinner nightmare to complete the trilogy of the NZers, the Sangas...if so I'm excited as to what might it be.

Keep the maximum width around 770px. That should cover all but the most awkward of customers, and they can go fudge themselves.

Sri Lanka and madcap antics in the same sentence. Who'd have thought it? Nice work aye-aye

Cheers for the kind words Dello, Lindsay and Peter, I was mainly joking about.

Linds, no more family dinners - what if I'm still going this time next year??? Gotta save them up! What's left in my stocking is a mixture of Christmas cheer and MORE Christmas cheer. You just can't miss it. Honest. Unmissable. Honest.

Dello, I've been doing that - looked ok on my slaptop, not on the gash monitor at my second worksite

by LeFromage Tue 08 Dec 2015, 20:33

Well, that's what I've been doing for about four years, and it's seemed to work out okay.

Or maybe for all this time folks have only been seeing 2/3rds of each glorious offering. In which case, they should've said and been duly noted.

by PeterCS Tue 08 Dec 2015, 21:30

THAT's the problem I had with ~~Carbs~~ ~~Jords~~ Carbs.

Bwahaha. Explains the basis of an otherwise improbable friendship.

TGM continues to provide fodder for the Advent calendar.

Bringing new meaning to "poker".

I feel dirty now ...
