Indeed.

Winds them up something rotten.
Not like you to be stirring the shit. I've just thought of the perfect Christmas pressie for you....

Whilst we wait for Black Friday to land I have a quick tale au recant that may warm the cockles of your hearts by making the blackest of souls among you mend ways by performing kind deeds for the good of your fellow man. Christmas is a time not only of wanton commercialism but also a time to reflect on the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ who gave everything by sacrificing himself for you and me. Now I am not asking you to nail each other to wooden crosses to celebrate the big day but to spare a lickle thought for your fellow man by doing deeds of goodness not only to those less fortunate but to any and all that share this spinning sphere we call home. Personally I am not going to start being fully godly until after the sales have ended but then I shall do my bit to be part of this winning team.

Here is the quick tale then ..I should have been in Blackpool now at the Big Blue and we go every single year for the £139 two night special with a massive full English every morning and a three course top quality meal on the first night and a free bottle of wine and late checkout till one one o clock on day three and free parking but this year for the last 5 days the other half has been ill with the sniffles and she said she couldn't shake it of. She was obviously not as bad as someone who had proper flue with saline drip and bed rest but nevertheless in her own little world she was too ill to make the arduous 45 minute journey to the Pool.

So On Wednesday I left it at that and took in another lemsip to her room to keep her pecker up only mentioning the lost holiday three times on the way out when the phone rang. I answered it and it was the lady boss we know from the hotel. "Were are you Bob lad she exclaimed!" I said we had an illness in the family and could not travel and she said we were the only no shows we had but not to despair and because we visit them twice yearly she would do all she could to help. After making phone calls to her superiors and also to travel zoo she was able to rearrange for us to transfer our booking to December .. O.M.G. how filled with human kindness was that then. She could have just left it and took our monkey but no she actually cared enough to go the extra mile so that we could go to the golden mile. I haven't told the other half yet as she deserves to hear my wailing and melancholic gnashing of teeth at the missed break for at least another two days but soon I will let her know. I have spent more on Covonia Lemsips Anadin Extra and Vic's Vapor Rub that what I would have ever spent in the Blackers. They wouldn't know what illness was if it jumped up and bit them squarely on their arses. Try Man-Flu and then you will know what illness is all about. I regrettably have had it over 25 times in my life and nearly hospitalized on every occasion and never once did I ever ever complain.

Anyway what the Trav Zoo and Big Blue people have done for us both fills me with warmth and emoticon and if we all do just one kind deed in the next week or so then we can truly make this world a much finer place to live. Here are a few more examples of doing the right thing or taken the right path in life that will lead us all inner peace and eventual Nirvana. Merry Xmas and Merry Black Friday.

We had nowt back then ..but we were happy. All our presents were delivered into a pillow case with an apple and orange in the bottom ? Examples ... painting by numbers, johhny seven, scalectric, a shit jigsaw, kaleidoscope, another shit jigsaw, slinky spring, viewfinder, a shit mechano set, a totopololy horse racing game, cluedo and a scale model of an Apollo rocket in total bits which i never built. Why give a child something not built...it's sic really and truly it's nothing short of sick ! One year a chopper which was top banana and another year a racer and even a 2.2 rifle but I would have killed for a computer with unlimited internet and an X box X or a PS4 or Galaxy Note 10 but they all lived in my future but good things come to those who can bat it out.

scalextric and meccano please...
