...and all who sail in her...

I feel a Christmas message coming on...whilst not quite up to the Queen's standard or audience levels...well my dog might read it...I thought I should say a few words about the coming year.
Firstly...I need to work out an alternative to SW Trains before I run amok on their crummy offering...actually that's' hard as my usual train has at least 200 people standing on the journey. My back is suffering from semi crouching on a seat designed to fit a 6 year old and crammed in 5 across. Not helped by high season ticket costs about to go up...well above inflation. Actually everything is going up well above inflation, particularly fuel bills, motoring and especially local rates...all because to the lunatic Brown and his obsessive spending habits.....As a PM, he will prove to be a complete basket case, given his ability to disappear when hard questions come along. At least Blair addressed most of them, usually without the Chancellor in sight.
This year I'm going to have a few decent holidays, years of camping in a field in Cornwall with a dank wet suit are loosing their appeal...so roll on a bit of sunshine.....
I could go on, lol, but just finish by saying, happy Christmas to those of you who subscribe to it (which leaves out our PC friends..and most of the C of E bishops as well)....
