Seasons Greetings

[The Medway Handyman]

Seasons greetings to all, whatever it means to you.

[Colin Wilson]

Personally ?

- relatives I don't particulary get on with, or want to see.

In particular, i've managed to not see my mother for a whole 12 months (sadly not my record !) :-p

[Appin]

The message from "The Medway Handyman" contains these words:

Echoed here!

[Mogga]

Happy Christmas. :)

[Owain]

It means being given a santa hat to wear at work, and a fridge stocked full of Tesco's half-prix quick-sale reductions.

And some truly, truly hideous tat being sold off cheap on QVC.

I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2008, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make this planet great and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.

This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher."

Bah... whoever originally wrote that nonsence needs shooting

Merry Christmas to all!!

[Frank Erskine]

Ditto from me...

[The Wanderer]

Likewise.

And the days are drawing out again......

[ARWadsworth]

And me.

Adam

[Bazza]

Me as well.

Nursing a hangover from too much port last night, Ah well start as you mean to go on

[Stuart Noble]

I've been drinking port all week in an attempt to clear the backlog a bit. Three or four years' worth of other peoples' corporate presents passed on to us. Pissing with rain and the cat's just been sick under the Xmas tree...

[Bazza]

A backlog to me is what I bought the day before. And what's with it with cats? my adopted one (it adopted me not me it) has just pewked up in the chair and won't go out because its raining.

[Andy Hall]

They're good at that, aren't they? Presumably it's right at the back where it's difficult to reach. Then there's the collection of decorations removed from the tree and batted around the floor.

[Stuart Noble]

Ours is a bit old to be disruptive, but he knows his routine is under threat and has decided to sit in a corner and face the wall. I might join him, and finish off the port

[Andy Hall]

Have you read The Silent Miaow by Paul Gallico?

All is explained in there.

[David in Normandy]

Ditto the ditto from me.

[Stuart Noble]

Hmm. 1964. I'll try the library

[Owain]

That'll help stick the needles to the carpet...

[Huge]

How could you tell?
