Max Crisp @xFiacre There used to be an advert on TV where a bloke asks for a “Lionel Blair” haircut, and gets a skinhead. He tells the barber that it’s not how Lionel Blair has his hair cut, and the barber replies: it would be if he came here.

It’s the most wonderful week of the year…a week of Judy songs! Let’s give a big round of applause to our Judys: @JudyEv in Australia and @JStory07 in Oregon (who’s suffering in the same season that I am, at least )....

Max Crisp @FourWalls Yes, way before my time, but kept alive, for me at least, by Frasier and Big. I still can’t think of a third song. I’ll keep checking in to see if my two have made it. I’m sure they will. Merry Christmas, in case I’m not back in time....

Max Crisp Knowing how well you like to manage your finances, I’m surprised you don’t cut your own hair!

I'm loving this temporary tax-free period that the Canadian government has extended on some of our purchases. In my province of Ontario, we pay 13% taxes. That certainly adds up. The majority of the items on the exemption...

Max Crisp @Juliaacv Really? That was during the Thatcher years. I bet she sold you off to the French. Sacré bleu! Looks like we are in trouble then. Do you want to buy us?

Max Crisp @JudyEv Yeah, I’m not sure it does mean the same thing, but there are many modern phrases going around. When I was office based, the number of corporate phrases that cropped up were hard to keep up with. Some of the ones that used to make me laugh or shake my...

Max Crisp @Juliaacv This is rip-off Britain. It’s getting so bad I think we’ll have to consider selling off Canada and other commonwealth countries just to make ends meet.

Max Crisp @MarieCoyle Yeah, but you can’t get a five dollar bill for anything less than five dollars. They usually have cut-price bargains at this time of year. Deception is often the way, especially at Christmas.

Max Crisp @LadyDuck It’s 20% here in the UK too! We only started paying VAT back in 1973 as a condition for joining the, then, European Common Market. Now we are out of the EU, but still paying the tax.

Max Crisp I’ve never tried putting eggs straight into boiling water. It sounds a bit risky to me. I’ve always believed that fresh eggs are more difficult to peel than older eggs. I’ve also had more success with eggs that have been steamed, rather than boiled. Another...

Max Crisp @MarieCoyle it’s a great acting performance. I mean by Tom Hanks, not Wilson. Although Wilson does steal a few of the scenes. I love Castaway, and it’s one of the few movies I’ve watched loads of times. After talking to you and watching the clip,...
