“The same procedure as last year, madam?”
Posted by Tim.
One more before I hit the hay here in Alabama; gettin’ up early tomorrow to get some things done around the house before we head out to my grandparents’ place for a family gathering.
Apparently, there’s a strange New Year’s Eve tradition that occurs on TV channels across northern Europe.
You can check it out for yourself, and see if “Dinner for One” is your cup of tea, so to speak. It was definitely my kind of fare: old-school slapstick always works for me.
Apparently, there are some awesome drinking games to be played while viewing; trying to keep up with our man James, who takes at least 16 drinks in the space of 10 minutes could put you well on your way to a good time. Looks like participants would need one glass each of sherry, white wine, champagne, and port.
“The same procedure as every year, James.”
Skål!

Wow, that’s awesome, I didn’t know it was on google video - good work Tim! but I thought you didn’t like drinking games?
At Aberdeed we played a variation where some of us were allowed to substitute whisky for the sherry and port (too sweet for me).
edit: that article confirmed my impression about it being a cult import - my German flatmates were the instigators and apparently it’s not (often) broadcast in Britain?
