It's that time of year again

Yes once more I was press ganged into dusting off the old suit and performing for the kids. Funny thing is I get stage fright just before going on. Last year I had to make several trips to the toilet and at one point thought I wouldn't make it. This year I was not as bad but I had not been briefed as to what was expected and as I sat in my chair a mike was thrust into my hands and I was told to call each child forward. It threw me a bit but in the end I think everything went OK.

Merry Christmas...............Ho, Ho, Ho!!

Congrats, Adrian Kringle!

You should use that photo in your Christmas cards - maybe even the front. Excellent!
