D-I-Y action needed from the computer literati amongst you ...
.... a very minor, almost trivial, edit is necessary to the title of
the Christmas song made famous by Bing Crosby in the 1942 film, "Holiday Inn". Simply change all occurrences of the letter, "w" to the letter "s" in the song's title. This need has arisen because of the cancellation of Christmas in 2020 by Boris Johnson. |

Perhaps the Sex Pistols could reform to do the new version for it. :-D |

Johnson has not cancelled Christmas - which is just a point on the calendar endorsed by various churchy bodies and people. Blame him for screwing up all the arrangements people have (mis-guidedly, in my view) made. By all means. Or anything else. Switch RC/CofE/CinW/CofS/whatever to RO and you can hold it on 7th January. |

We seem to have an even more infectious version of the Covid virus rampaging through the country, and taking pretty drastic steps is what is needed. For once, Boris has more or less grasped the nettle. So, well done for that. It seems to me we have a choice: 1. Cancel Christmas and continue to restrict movement a lot until the most vulnerable are vaccinated. 2. Overwhelm the health service, and have people dying at home because there aren't hospital places for them. Neither are exactly enticing. |

You cant spin this as Brexit, Too true. The Brexit ****storm doesn'r properly kick off, for another ten days. yet. With the food riots a good few weeks after that. There's nothing worse than people letting off their News Years Day fireworks ten minutes early at at 11.50 p.m. is there ? michael adams .... |

So there is nothing special about us, except we are perhaps being honest about it It seems to me we have a choice: 1.

Overwhelm the health service, and have people dying at home because there aren't hospital places for them. Neither are exactly enticing. Well yes, I think politically they will balance it between those two dilemmic horns. -- €œwhen things get difficult you just have to lie€ €• Jean Claud Jüncker |

Have you heard the version with Bings voice, the Royal Phil orchestra and
Pentatonics? Makes it completely different in feel. Love it or hate it, its very clever, but changing what Bing sins should be a trivial matter when compared to removing all the music from a 78rpm record and just leaving the voice. Anyway, I don't think you can lay this one at the gates of number 10. He may have many attributes and many failings, but deliberately making a new virus, I think is stretching things. No we have done this to ourselves by shopping madly and by students being demob happy and children gathering together too much So Merry Christmas one and all and remember Orthodox Christmas ins on 7th January.
