    I may have mentioned this before but, as none of us is getting any younger, it's worth repeating: 'Ott'n ospitul in Emmerdale is fantastic. Tonight, while glued to Tuesday's thrilling episode, I was flabbered to learn that Chastateh has Post Trawmahik Stress Sindrum but then I remembered 'Ott'n ospitul. They'll cure that in a week, no probs.

    Then, Diyann gets stabbed, and they discover she has stomach cancer too. Well, 'Ott'n ospitul removed the cancer overnight and the life-frett'nin stab wounds have all gone away. 'Ott'n ospitul's post-op chemo only takes a week so Diyann will be back in't pub well before Christmas.

    Rubbeht gets shot but, other than a few "ouches", he's grand now, so he is, thanks to 'Ott'n ospitul.

    The airhead who works (works?) in't caff had a brain tumour but, sure enough, 'Ott'n ospitul sorted surgery, and chemo in......days, I think.

    Kehn had a life-frett'nin brain injury but, other than having a 1970's hairdo for a few days, he too is grand now.

    And Andah had a life-frett'nin arm injury which 'Ott'n ospitul cured in less than a week, without any muscle wastage or even armhair removal.

    Even the otherwise invisible child Ambah had some sort of life-frett'nin condition which they cured between visits from the parents.

    Lawrull was an alco for a whole fortnight but, after a few visits to't cownsillah, she's on the wagon for good.

    I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see how long it takes 'Ott'n ospitul to cure Ashlah's dimentia.

    I have asked before but does anyone here know the address of 'Ott'n ospitul? Do you think if I went to Yawksha and had a little lie down on a park bench, that 'Ott'n ospitul would take care of me? My social diary is empty in a couple of weeks time. Better still, Maybe we could arrange an overnight in 'Ott'n ospitul on the dreaded New Year's Eve. Hmmm..........good plan, eh?

    Well I followed it but might have to take exception to the mutilation of the Yorkshire accent - wiv bits ov Lundun frown in. I have to admit however, and I do not watch the goings on in Emmerdale, that their cure rate does seem to be remarkable.

    I have no doubt this is due to the excellent NHS service. There again, I note from relatives who have the benefit of that service, that getting a GP's appointment in under a week is remarkable, and signing on with a new dentist virtually impossible.

    I'm escaping for the night so hussssh, not a word to Matron now please. If anyone asks I've taken to my bed with a bout of the vapours.

    Meanwhile I'm off over the border to a little show reminiscent of "The Good old Days". Singers, magicians, jugglers, comedians but most importantly...YourrrrSelffffff!

    The boss at work criticised the lads after I gave them a tea break. I blew my top sadly. Big time.

    May find I am out of a job by 2016.

    Still, nobody calls my lads lazy to my face when they have been working their socks off to cover for the other shift.

    Standing up to unfairness is an admirable character trait Rube.
    In the spirit of being fair, you could always approach the boss and apologise for the way you reacted but make it clear that you wont apologise for the spirit of what you said. Hopefully over the weekend the boss will have had time to reflect and will be more amenable to hear your views

    That is...truly horrible.

    Well granted it is not quite as bad as some of the desperate supermarket music I have heard recently. I went so far as to complain in Woodies about the awful tuneless noises coming from the speakers a couple of days ago, it was so bad I couldn't concentrate on what I was looking for, and left.

    The yule goat is a tradition far older than Christmas in the Scandinavian countries. The singing of the goats represents completely my attitude towards this current modern interpretation of a winter festival.
    I'm all about the Humbug. :)

    So would you get rid of the whole thing OG or add in some different stuff, or adapt or what? Would you celebrate mid-winter/a Christian festival at all?

    To be honest I've not really got a problem with the religious aspect of Christmas, each to their own and all that. However the commercialisation of Christmas and the feeding frenzy that businesses undergo is very ugly to see.

    It somehow seems to be less an occasion as in previous years. It's not about the tradition any more as the tradition has been neatly bundled up in tinsel and sparkles and sold back us.

    I'd dearly love to see a winter festival. A proper spring, summer and autumnal festival would be good too - if we can have them without the gross greed and monetisation.

    I know that makes me sound like the "Scrooge" who "wouldn't spend christmas" and trying to cast a shadow over everything like a "Grinch".
    Bah!

    I wouldn't argue with you OG, although my own preference would be for the Christian Christmas to the Disney and Coca-Cola Christmases. At this stage I just want to get through it without any major problems, it seems to be the time when people get hit with health issues. I want us all to get through it and come out the other side with all our bits, and minds, intact.

    Unsure about how and when I will be on over the festive days so a quick Merry Christmas to all my friends/victims and other dignitaries here in O&O.

    As Dave Allen used to say/ Goodnight and may your God go with you.

    See you soon

    It's late, and I can hear very heavy rain falling outside. Anyone suffering with flooding? This afternoon was very pleasant in the garden, I managed to plant some out of season daffs, and it was very easy to pull up some weeds. My life seems pretty easy compared to what some people are having to cope with at the moment.
