Well it's certainly harder to believe in him than father Christmas, probably because he doesn't turn up at my local garden centre every year dishing out presents. That's how I know fathe christmas is real y'see.

Well I never.Russ,you do have a soft side .Thought so

Yes, Christmas is great. Can't understand why all the Muslims, Jews, and pagan's don't have it really? They probably just don't know what fun they're missing I guess.

I haven't bought an advent calendar this year, so I'll just have to try and find another method of working out what day it is for now. But I do like mulled wine, top stuff, especially when they give you some at Hawes during the Raid Tann Hill escapade.

I like snow too, which for me makes Christmas even better. Last year my brother bought me a small Gold burner, complete with some Frankincense and Myrrh to burn in it. I never knew what Myrrh was until I got that. It's a blackey-brown resin. Funny thing to give Jesus for his birthday if you ask me, makes me wonder how wise those three men were after all.

If I'd have been there I'd have bought him a bike, kids like bikes for Christmas. With all the frost and snow we associate with Christmas the other wise men could have taken him some Wellington boots and an Umbrella, but I guess those things aren't much use in the desert. A woolly hat would have been good though, as it still gets freezing at night over there.

Guys it’s time to take myself off and do other stuff. I know I’ve ruffled some feathers here recently so I’d like to apologise, I don’t intend any malice by it. I just hoped to wake some folks up to what’s being done to them, or done to others in their name.

Maybe a place like this is not the right venue I hear you say, but I’ve always found that 2CV community consists of the most open minded section of society, so no harm in trying. Maybe that open mindedness is something to do with the car? Maybe it’s that Citroen came up with a radical concept, something the establishment laughed at - but we saw past the derision?

Or maybe it’s that we all know the prejudice, ridicule, and sneers we have all suffered at the hands of drivers of mainstream vehicles for driving a 2cv? Whatever it was, it lead me to post here, and I thank you all for ‘not listening’ so graciously. Despite what the naysayers will tell you, your freedoms are in danger, never more so than right now. We’re almost at the tipping point, yet those that would blindly enforce the many unjust statutes upon us will simply claim the ‘Nuremberg defence’ if it all goes tit’s up.

I’ve said a couple of things I regret, especially the part about giving baby Jesus Wellington boots. That was plain wrong, as anyone knows he wore sandals. The clue is even in the title. ‘Sand-alls.’ How could I have been so stupid? Wellington boots would have just filled up with sand and made his little feet heavy anyway, so I should have proposed a toboggan instead. Fine sand is like powdered snow, so he’d have been alright with that. The umbrella I’m cool with, so would baby JC be, ‘cause he could have used it as a parasol.

Ok fella’s I’ll leave you in peace to get back to normal, whatever that is these days? I won’t be back, so I’ll wish you all a Merry Christmas early. Enjoy it while you have it, and remember me when you don’t. I'm not well, and I have a feeling that I’m not gonna’ be around long enough to tell those grandchildren of mine anything, and even during the most deluded bout of optimism I can’t ever see me being able to ‘look down’ on them to see how it all turned out. Look up maybe? Especially if I keep telling Jesus gags!

Take care fella’s.
Old-Nail.

Wish I had a lego advent calender....tell us more...do you get a brick each day?

It's even better than that, you get something small to make each day. Yesterday we had a Lego man with a Lego snowball and today we had a Lego snowball catapult to launch the snowballs from. £17 from Argos, and worth every penny.

Sorry to hear that. This place is all the better for your visits. I wish you all the best and maybe a miracle.

Best wishes O/N

Sorry to hear that.

Its good to have a few feathers ruffled, and you and I did a bit of that a while ago....I liked it.....made me think.

Take real great care and I wish you all my very best regards.

John

OK so one day you get a lego man and have to stick on snowballs....the next day you have a lego catapult to launch his balls from....err....tommorrow maybe a lego chainsaw to chop his arms off ?.....
