Gosh there are some happy people here !
Humbug to all the christmas detractors - cheer up you miserable buggers
I love it, am going to enjoy it and so will all I meet up with over the next few days...
..am typing this briefly as the turkey sits, the bread sauce is bubbling, the roast pots and parsnips are finishing off and the wine is chilling !
but in the spirit of christmas I will share this little joke..
A few years ago, the French, Russian and British Ambassadors to the USA were asked the same question by a reporter what they would like for Christmas..
The French Ambassador replied he would like to see an end to suffering in the world
The Russain Ambassador replied he would like to see an end to all wars
and the British Ambassador was typically modest by replying, if pushed, he wouldn't mind a small box of after dinner mints...!
HAPPY CHRISTMAS
Stephen
