A Welsh cheese company has launched a £149 advent calendar, measuring more than a metre wide.
Packed with 24 individual 200g portions of artisan Welsh cheese, the calendar from The Welsh Cheese Company contains everything from creamy soft cheeses that would rival any French Brie, to punchy, crowd-pleasing Cheddars and lip-smacking blues.

Each individual triangle measures 20in wide by 13in tall and has been designed to be placed in a fridge separately for storage.

And for New Years a complete plumbing replacement.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.
Re: If you're stuck
Can anyone explain what the connection is supposed to be between Advent and cheese, such that Advent cheese calendars became a thing?

Re: If you're stuck
I found this article tracing it back to a blogger who sold the concept to ASDA. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/holida ... calendars/
Aldi now has wine and cheese advent calendars that are a big deal there are the holidays, and you can also find cheese advent calendars from many retailers. There was clearly a market for the concept!
A concession to those who favor savory over sweet?

Re: If you're stuck
Scooter--I have never had an advent calendar, but I thought the point was that the calendar would put you in the mood to celebrate Christmas. The calendars I have seen were usually ones that had a different bible verse or some similar meditation every day, but I would think sweets savories, or even wine can put one in both a contemplative and celebratory mood (or either one of them); and certainly the sellers of them are put in a celbratory mood. Advent is a time to rejoice and celrbrate the coming holiday. Hell, I got a mailing on a pet treat/toy advent calendar (but I see this as akin to pet Halloween costumes--it's for the owners, not the pets).

Hen once bought me a whisky advent calendar, that was some treat!!

Re: If you're stuck
I do recall a cheese company called "Cheeses of Nazareth".
Re: If you're stuck
I seem to recall that your #'s did not allow for the consumption of that much cheese so I will buy one in your honor and eat it myself.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

I've always wondered the origin of the Québecois cursing expression "Christ en bicyclette sur Calvaire" (Christ on a bicycle on Calvary). Now I know.

I see he has adopted the halo protective device, as of course did Formula 1.

You genderist, you! Preferred term is a bi-cycle!
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
