The Dreaded Festive Season

[Obiter]

I cannot recall who first started a thread on this awful subject today but it seems to have opened a can of worms. We are now receiving requests for an alternative to plum pudding! Should there not be an embargo on all such threads until at least the 1st December?

How about a nice festive pair of socks with reindeer on .... or a flashing tie may be? http://images.canberratimes.com.au/2012/08/10/3545207/pm-laughing-lady-th-20120810174212433094.jpg

Some of us have linkage to our US cousins, Obiter.....

[Obiter]

They may be your cousins, they are not mine. They are rebel colonialists and traitors.

[bookbinder]

But...but...we had a Christmas last[i year! Do we have to have it [i]again?]

[stuey]

Twenty-five degrees out, and people are talking about Christmas...Bah, Humbug I say!!

[DTCwordfan]

Mr Harvey.... FANTASTIC!!
Their version of Delilah is brilliant as well if you watch it with the Old Grey Whistle Test video from 1975, the brilliant Zal Cleminson in the Pierrot make up... it genius, you just don't get bands that exude charisma and sheer brilliant like that anymore...
