Bob, that is a truly sh1t and thoughtless present mate. Why do they do it? What did she really think you were going to do with the wretched device?

Personally I spent xmas moving house to New Zarse Towers with the terrible flu, which was fantastic fun as you can imagine. And worse than that, I now can't shake it off. So I'll be celebrating new year feeling like crap too. The only highlight was on saturday when I was just about well enough to go out into the countryside with the dog and blow a few animals to pieces with a big gun. That cheered me up a bit, though the improvement was transitory and I'm now back at work a seething maelstrom of ill-will and hatred to all men (and most women too).

And folk wonder why I hate xmas.

Bugger bloody Xmas, and sod the new year too.

Until I go skiing on the 18th!
