    I wanted to send out some sort of holiday greeting to family, friends and colleagues, but it is so difficult in today’s world to know exactly what to say without offending someone. So I met with my solicitor yesterday, and on his advice (and after £299 in solicitors fees) I wish to say the following:


    Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non addictive, gender neutral, celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

    I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2006, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make Britain great (not to imply that Britain is necessarily greater than any other country or is the only “Britain” in the western hemisphere), and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith, or sexual preference of the wishee.

    By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms:

    This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal.
    It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher.

    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...

    I for one am getting sick of all the anti-anti-christmas stuff.

    Pighead will not return the yuletide greetings to WhiteWashMan until his lawyer has gone through his post with a fine tooth comb. He has given me the go ahead however to wish you a Happy Thursday.

    I am offended by your use of the word "Britain". I think the correct term is the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".

    WWM, my solicitor will contact you forthwith.

    Happy Thursday.

    Happy Christmas to everyone and now for a little carol to remind us all about the dangers of excess over this Christmas period.....:D


    To The Tune Of Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer

    Rudolph the red nosed wino,
    Had a very shiny nose,
    And if you got too close to him,
    He would take off his clothes.
    All of the other winos,
    Used to laugh and call him names,
    They never let poor Rudolph,
    Join in any wino games.
    Then one chilly Christmas Eve,
    Rudolph froze to death in an alley.
    End of story. :p

    just a small complaint.
    if you are going to refer to us by our roman name, could you please use the proper one. they named this island of ours 'Hibernia'. i never agreed with the "british isles" moniker. it's kind of insulting.
    don't make me get my armalite.
