It's Time!

Well, it's getting closer. Almost 8:30am and soon time to open the swag. Think I'll put a tot of Appleton rum in me mug of tea to sip on whilst I'm appraising the loot. Good idea?

[sandyRoe]

yes, as long as you don't need to be driving a sleigh later in the day.

[stuey]

Nary a drop of snow to drive one on. Plus 5 degrees and raining!

[sandyRoe]

No snow in Canada in December? The people who caused Global Warming have a lot to answer for.

[stuey]

Lots of snow elsewhere, Sandy. It's to the north , east, and west of us. We'll get a dumping upon soon enough however.

I am a little late with this advice but I think its a splendid idea to add some rum to your cuppa !

I had a small glass of champagne at 07:00 this morning ! Another splendid idea !

Aah, now I know what is meant by the term "champagne socialist"

The aim of socialism isn't to level down so that everyone is reduced to drinking halfs of mild & bitter and smoking woodbine. The true aim is to level up so that fine wines and champagnes are within the reach of all. And the best of Cuban cigars are likewise available for those who want them.

[Zacs-Master]

The trouble with socialism is that champagne and cigars are wasted on the plebs. Some are happier to wallow in pigswill than see the stars.

Let them eat Christmas pudding!
