027 - Better late than never

This is a nice change from all the other floods I've heard about certainly an improvement on that port, and I think this is the longest we've gone without some violence. Congratulations, everybody.

That said, anybody want some nog at the pub?

Dear Santa,
Admiral:

I don't really know what to request for-- well, anybody. Um. For Claire, I suppose, a Man U bear? I know she collects 'em, so... I have no idea what to get for girls.

I'd like for Prefect to have a plant. Preferably, one that's pretty and doesn't require much upkeep, 'cause I'd rather it not die and prove him right about everything from the Factory being better.

As for Billy, could you send him a scarf? I don't think I've ever seen him with a scarf, and if it gets cold here, then-- there was this box of old comics I had, from when I was a kid. He'd probably like 'em.

For Ichabod, erm. I'm not sure what men from that era liked, so... a copy of Crime and Punishment? Was it after his time? I forget.

There's this Bobby Charlton cigarette card my dad gave me, before he left. I never got to take it with me, so... I'd like that, if I could. And Annie-- how is-- can I have an update on her?

I guess that's it, thanks.

What is 'nog'?

[bythe_books]

Egg nog. Never had it much before myself, but it's a drink, with... egg. And cream, I guess. Throw a splash of rum, whiskey, brandy in there, and you've got a... festive drink.

I...see. I have eaten fish eggs before. I know not what these other things you mention are, though.
