    Brrrr!

    That's looks far too cold for me.

    Just at the moment I'll stick with the daily 26 degrees.

    You'd just better hope it isn't twice as cold in February!

    How are the preparations for the annual Cold Ale Christmas Party going?

    I'm having a trial run on Saturday - we have been invited to a party. I don't get out... at all ...and so I'll let you know how it goes.

    I've also got my Programme Manager's christmas Lunch coming up - which will be more interesting than it sounds - as my mate is a big book fan, and does great impressions.

    Are you chaps and Ladies doing anything nice and social over the forthcoming festive season?

    Well, I don't suppose old Jocky will be invited. I am surprised Paul that you were not down Westminster way pushing a pike on behalf of our students. The nasty sods almost scared the Duchess of Cornwall ,though I don't know who got the biggest fright, them looking in the Bentley or her looking out.

    Oh, and by the way Atheist I hope you have noticed that never once have I mentioned that Scotland are the new rugby union champions of the world.

    Mick, I have got a confession to make, it was me that started the campaign to reinstate Shane Warne back to the Aussies. Losing the bid for the World Cup and being shattered in the Ashes would fair warm us up north of the border, but as Confucious says " Man with Flymo should never upset farmer with John Deare. "

    Aye, I am a sucker for punishment. The Ben - Hur treatment I do not deserve. This might interest you, Wiki-Leaks are saving the last for best. They are releasing the cold war alien files and big-foot sightings in an unabridged totally believable pay pal format. Apparently only forty million authorised, unauthorised privates will have exclusive access. The power of Google.

    Wow, is that ice on the branches? I had bits of ice on my windshield when I went out tonight...It's only 55, but the humidity is at 89%

    Sounds exciting. I am invited to the neighbors, every year I try to talk them out of buying gifts...because then, I have to buy gifts; does that sound cheap? Anyway, I have the tree, carolers and village up, most of my daughters presents have arrived (I shopped totally by internet this year) and I'll cook a roast...I've already started eating cookies and adding increasingly more rum in the eggnog.

    Not only are you invited, you can dress up as Father Christmas

    Remember last Xmas! That was some disaster, if I ever get my hands on the son of a ***** who mentioned the turkey sandwiches again I will ...... Mind you remember the trifle and the presents. Who says the Scots are greedy ? Cheers Soundo and thanks for your humanity.

    Hi Jocky. Nice to see you back.

    Sounds - whorefrost is that look you get when... no never mind. But yes - that's ice on the tree. We had a freezing fog which coats everything. Looks amazing.

    I now what you mean about the presents - it's got to stop somewhere. Surely a bit of eggnog and cheer is enough for neighbours.

    Good!

    I'm getting Mumford & Sons to play a set for us as we get into the Guinness!

    That's what I thought!

    Good to see you back, mate!

    Yes, that was an excellent effort.

    We have the cup waiting for you next year.

    What, turkey sandwiches, at least the little women should hide the turkey in Bisquick or chow mein
    Greedy, surely not, you'd give away your last bit of cash to help your fellow man and then pass the hat....Oops, I left my wallet at home

    Ah yes, whorefrost is what you call it? Yes, I think the young gigolo gave me a look like that
    Well, thank you for understanding, the neighbors just think I'm hording my gold...I don't really get it, one has 16 grandchildren to buy for and still turns up every year with a pair of too small slippers or a strange scented candle for me.

    Now, don't get me wrong here but the truth has to be told. Now I have to admit I don't believe in God or Gods but there is a malevolent being out there. This may be dualistic thinking but I am not so sure. How come every time I press my trousers the milk bottle falls on the crease and when I try to shave it is a scrape because sonny boy has been using my razor ? There may be more to this than meets the eye.

    What you say has merit Jocky. I too have noticed a conspiricy of inanimate (supposedly) objects to confound my simple desires:- The piece of toast that lands butter side down, the pound coin that rolls under the sofa, the TV remote that lays just out of reach. They claim of course to be merely following the laws of physics, but I know better.

    There was a young dude called Gilliatt
    who believed in Sasquatch and all of that
    till he met Emmy Lou
    whom he intercoursed in the zoo
    and that was the end of the bigfoot younger brat

    The last line does not work and that has devestated me, but I have introduced a new verb into the English language ' intercoursed ' it is good and you can use it in many variations. Pose, preen and soforth.
