    The majority of the elite ones would just pay someone to do it all for them (or their wag would) doesn’t make it anymore tasteful, but they wouldn’t have a clue what was tasteful or not either way, just hand over a wodge of money to someone to come up with something inevitably awful.

    Field mice and vowls for dinner and the kids got theirs after his misses regurgitated it straight into their mouths.

    Table spread looks nice to be honest, something special for christmas.

    Lamp shade is lush. It's a pretty nice setup too. Obviously a fan of Rajovic. I am guessing that wood is Oak or Pine.

    I think it's simply the result of giving dumb people lots of money.

    I see that on each plate there’s a note, tied with a ribbon, explaining that the centre-piece was so expensive, he couldn’t afford cutlery or glasses.

    I notice the table is on reinforced pillars, to stop it falling over the minute anyone touches it!

    Footballer's wife Louise Redknapp often pops up in POPBITCH (or more correctly recounting 'incidents' on whatever the name of that cooking show she was involved with). Two that spring to mind are:
    1. Ginger. She had no idea what this spice 'was' and was flabbergasted by it's natural form (ie a 'root).
    2. Oysters. The show 'did' an item on these. Louise was fascinated by them and was intrigued that you eat them alive/raw. She asked for one, was handed an 'closed' (unshucked) oyster, checked that you were really supposed to eat them raw and was, luckily, stopped by a runner/stagehand taking a big bite of it shell and all.
    Wasn't there a PL 'star' who discovered that the reason his machine machine hadn't been working very well for over a year was that he was using dishwasher tabs in it?

    Looking at how tight the grain is, I’d say it’s neither of those but, whatever it is, it’s going to be spoilt if they don’t find some place mats and coasters.

    Perhaps it isn't used?
    Perhaps they have a "trough of baked beans"?

    I believe the owls are the starter.

    Sounds like Nathan Patterson of the Toffees and Honest Jack G had a running spat during and at the end of last night's match.

    "Hold me back!" shouts Gentlemen Jack. "He was having a right effing go at my Christmas table decorations and seating arrangements. And then he tells me that Rishi and Jeremy might not be abolishing inheritance tax in the Spring budget. What an effing liberty, wait till I tell Pep and Shakin' Mansour."

    Remarkably uncolourful and not very Christmassy. And everything is disconcertingly rounded. And are they actual stuffed owls?

    I imagine this is what an annual board meeting lunch might look like at a small museum on the outskirts of Oslo.

    The Uglemuseet? Worth a trip, maybe even a date for romantic Oslo folk.

    Oh I know who it is!
    It's Αθήνα!
    The owl being her sacred bird.
    Γλαύκος Αθήνα - ' Grey eyed Athena' or ' Owl eyed'.

    ' Cheshire Police are currently searching Mount Olympus and the rooms of 'Grey eyed Athena',seen disguised as an old servant, outside Mr Grealish's property, in BC 800.'

    Inside job they reckon now, similar to Ali.
    Renovation work completed a few days prior to the break in.

    Same with the dumb ****ers who post countdowns to their holidays on social media.
    "Only 5 sleeps until Majorca"

    They literally deserve to be burgled.

    I think ural terribly unfair to Rajovic. Ok so there's scops for improvement but so what if he can't hit a barn door.
    You should be barred.
