SO THIS IS CHRISTMAS?

This year has absolutely flown by and despite all the crap that is going on in the big bad ole world out there I’ve had a pretty good year safe in the knowledge that nobody is going to kick down my front door looking for insurgents or cluster bomb my house.

Sorry, that’s probably a touch depressing. Don’t read Robert Fisk’s latest book “The Great War for Civilisation”. Actually, do read it because it will make you despair for humanity. Fuck we’re c*nts! Yes. I know it’s really thick and it has really small writing but it’s worth it.

Anyway onto something more lighthearted.

The World Cup. What can I say besides saying that we had good times in Germany and to lose to the eventual cheating winners in the second round was no disgrace. I’m not bitter.

We crushed England in the Ashes and a five nil whitewash looks on the cards. The silence from my English workmates has been deafening. Brilliant!

Not working for four months was sweeeeeeet mate. Though I’m back in London and I’ve depressingly swiftly assumed the old position on the treadmill pumping my little legs as fast as they will go.

A fair few of you have buggered off back home to sunny Oz or SA and I can tell you that I wish I was there as well and I do appreciate your weather updates.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Shit! I’ll be thirty next year!
