Oh Lord, Ollie`s having an extended negative Hoooooon. He`s lost his necessary consonants!. It`s the [/color]Christmas effect`. Cripes!
Edit: Just seen your previous post above Mart. Get those gold stars out, man!! Very very funny. If a tad unnerving. You may just have written some kind of charter. Gulp.

Ho!. May I sincerely wish everybody a Happy Christmas and a Prosperous, Peaceful and Healthy New Year and may all that you wish for come true. I'm sorry I've been so absent recently but family concerns have taken up an inordinate amount of time and travel. New Year should see me around again.
Lastly, may I send you, my "friends", affectionate regards and thanks for the pleasure your "postings" have given me over the last year.
Cheers
S'wave

For those of you following the saga of martle's Xmas beef crisis, I bring good news. I have this very morning received word from my deep-cover agent in Aberystwyth, who has managed to secure 5 pounds of Welsh Black sirloin at a secret butchery known only to a very few, and at an 'under the counter' price. Said beef will tomorrow be transported to an undisclosed location in North Oxfordshire for onward transference to a refrigeration unit, and thence to the boot of my car under cover of darkness. Once signals have been sufficiently scrambled, it will be transported at high speed to the abode of Ma martle on Xmas day, to be consumed, leaving no trace. This post will self-destruct in 10 seconds. Stand well away from your computer monitor.  |

Seasons Greetings S'Wave but in these Politically Correct times perhaps I should rephrase that?
Best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most joyous traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, but with respect for the religious persuasion of others who choose to practice their own religion as well as those who choose not to practice a religion at all;
Additionally, a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar year 2008, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions have helped make our society great, without regard to the race, creed, colour, religious, or sexual preferences of the wisher or wishee.
(Disclaimer: This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others and no responsibility for any unintended emotional stress these greetings may bring to those not caught up in the holiday spirit.)

I am not sure whether vegetarians are supposed to offer congratulations under such circs, but I am delighted to hear for your own piece of mind, and your cred with your Crimbo guests, that the Beef Crisis has been resolved, Martle! |

He's so beautiful! I could never bear to see the diagram with all the edible bits sectioned off in the butchers in the days when I used to frequent such establishments. What a gorgeous animal.

They are beautiful beasts Milly, to see some of the Pedigree bulls at the Agricultural Shows is quite amazing, the sheer bulk and power of them is quite overwhelming. Not forgetting the Welsh Black sheep of course, the best tasting lamb anyone will ever have (apologies to all veggies)  |
