Tis the Season to .......

At the other end of the spectrum - I'm typing this holed up in a Premier Inn located in a VERY windy, wet & cold Aberdeen. But I'm not jealous. Honest I'm not.

You could always live somewhere warm like Sydney

Probably a dumb question from a non-Christian, but what does Christmas have to do with alcohol (and apparently there has to be lots of it)?

It's not Christmas as such, just that this is when most families try to get together. And when that happens alcohol is usually involved...

All the Inns were full remember.

As a Pom... hmm... I don't think I could handle the abuse!

New Zealand remains on my wish list though...get to keep the same weather (as the UK) but lose the people

Thanks Denis, I get it now. It's a case of turning wine into water

Season's greetings and best wishes for a peaceful Christmas and a very happy and (let's hope) prosperous new year to all.

Luke,

You could always move to Manly. It's full of Poms!

Riaz, Season's greetings to you too!

I made a serious error of judgement yesterday: I attempted to match Mr Archibald pint for pint. I have had the mother of all hangovers today

It's not like we had that many! (my wife had the pleasure of my company round Sainsburys that evening...)

I hope Rory your shopping experience did not lead to this?

Hmm, that does sound familiar...

I hope Jon didn't try to ride his bike home

No way! And after seeing the mayhem traffic on the streets of London I am never going to venture into London on my bike.

I didn't even try to keep up with the big boys. I'm such a light weight, I was ratted after my few pints anyway and then I still had to go out for a birthday meal with my girlfriend... Still, I managed to stay awake through the movie afterward: Madagascar Escape 2 Africa. Hillarious!!!

Merry xmas to the MrExcel board
