Folded:
- Happy Christmas! (ready to fight with the family?)
- Getting a couple of days off (‘cos that’s really all it’s about)
- Granite by Pendulum (retro drum ‘n’bass with lyrics…yeah, why not)
- We Own the Night (a bitter taste to cut through the syrupy festive fare)
- Erin O’Connor (tall, slim, very pretty lady from the M&S Christmas adverts)
Creased:
- Happy Humbug! (all ready to hide out in Acapulco?)
- Late postmen (what time of day to call is 2.00 pm?! It'd be quicker to send a midget with bubble gum stuck on his feet)
- Shops abandoning their Christmas decorations in favour of giant SALE placards (a miserable thing to see and probably even worse if you have to work in these un-festive havens of grumpiness)
- Frosty mornings (a thin layer of concrete on your windscreen and only the heartiest, most deadly of £1.99 chemicals can help you remove it)
- New Year’s Eve washout (can somebody we know please do something classy like go to a ball or watch fireworks while sipping a glass of Moet. Break the cycle, please)

Hi HS,
Been checking your site every couple of weeks or so. No regulars.
Oh dear!
This is what happens when you get 5th blog etc. You start to take yourself too seriously, and forget to be real and in touch with your audience.
So bye, I’m taking you off my website…
I’ld like to say it’s been good, but it was crap at the end.
See kids, this is what happens if you get in a fight with C J Davies about haiku syllables. Now let that be a ruddy lesson to anyone who doubts our haiku-based syllable-counting skills.
So bye JBollocks, I’d like to say it’s been good, but it was weird and paranoid at the end.
I swear I am not an ass.
Don’t call me (or my comments) weird.
I don’t “earn” my living as as some sort of internety paparazzi.
Secondly, let’s not forget that CJ can’t count to six without using his toes.
Sorry about the double “as”. I wasn’t foaming at the mouth. (just checking how to spell pap.)
