Bryan's Guide to Xmas dating

With only one more day to go until The Green Green Grass Christmas Day Special (8pm on BBC1), we present the very last installments in Bryan's Guide to Christmas Dating:

Rule number seven:" Clean your boots. No one likes someone wearing dirty Wellingtons around the house. Make sure you wear your special Christmas socks right over the festive season."

Rule number eight:" All women love animals so show your love for your herd by putting a bit of Christmas cheer into their lives by adding a little bit of brandy to their hay or sprinkle some cinnamon on their mangelwurzels."

Rule number nine: "Wear tinsel in your hat. Women love a joker and a love of tinsel shows you enjoy a laugh at your own expense. Prove you are a joker by practicing creeping up behind your female friends and then shouting Ho Ho Ho very loudly. They'll have hysterics."

Rule number ten: "Don't delay. If you do get lucky then proposing on New Year's Eve is a good idea (particularly after a few drinks). And don't have a long engagement. Ten years will be a disaster. A month would be better."

Good Luck and Merry Christmas!
- Bryan

"Rule number five: Impress them with stories of Christmases past. Regale them with the tale of the year you helped make Christmas Day go with such a swing when you became a relief turkey plucker when old farmer Williams was sick in his trifle a few years back or the tell them about the time you saved that calf that got stuck while you were having your Christmas lunch, without the aid or hot water, soap or a towel.

Rule number six: "Always carry some real mistletoe. Plastic mistletoe has become popular of late but you can't beat the real thing and I've found the plastic stuff is really difficult to grow. Ask every woman for a kiss. You might get your face slapped most of the time but one or two might take pity on your and say yes."

Mrs. Cakeworthy's Christmas Tips

"Hello my web dears, Mrs C here from Winterdown Farm to give you more of my much sought after and top secret Christmas tips:"

Tip 2: "Find your turkey often come out of the oven too dry? No problem! With the patented Cakeworthy gobble-juicer method your endless days of desicrapen turkey sandwiches on boxing day are a thing of the past!

Grindle the turkey in a long sided clopwinch until you can meep the mazzles and smell the fadglings are on the turn."

Rule number two: "When down the pub try some special festive chat up lines like: Do you want a lift home on my sleigh? Nice baubles? Do you like stuffing?"

Green Green Grass Christmas Tips from Bryan and Mrs Cakeworthy

With only days to go before the Green Green Grass Christmas Day Special (8pm on BBC1), Mrs. Cakeworthy and Bryan offer you the first of their holiday advice:

Mrs. Cakeworthy's Christmas Tips

"Hello my web dears, Mrs C here from Winterdown Farm to give you the first of my much sought after and top secret Christmas tips:"

Tip 1: "Many people post their Christmas gifts to loved ones far away. This is such an unnecessary expense. To send parcels through the post for no cost whatsoever, all you have to do is tip one or two grundles to your local Muffwhacker, thus enabling a skiddlebrokerfls arm length for all parcels resulting in totally free postage! Aren't you kicking yourself that you didn't think of that?!"

Bryan's Guide to Dating at Christmas - parts 1 & 2

Rule number one: "Make sure you ask one of your Aunt's for some Brut talc to make yourself smell nice and fragrant. Typical eau de farmyard is fine for trips to the discothèque but at Christmas it's nice to try something more exotic."

Rule number two: "Pretend you are someone else. If you're at a party (or even if you are not) suggest a game of Blind Man's Bluff. During the game everyone gets to be blindfolded at some point so when it's the turn of the object of your desire then pretend to be someone else. Try being Tom Cruise or Mel Gibson or some such bloke. They're sophisticated sorts so they are bound to wear Brut or Old Spice."

Good Luck and Merry Christmas
