I really must apologise, as I have been a bit grouchy of late.

There have been a few things bugging me like the Bug, which still hasn’t gone away.  I knew those fucking horse pills would be useless and they were.  I might as well have been sticking them up my arse.  [Maybe that’s where I was going wrong?]

Then there was the little episode of the Most Holy Church of the Devine Paedophiles which is still raising the blood pressure a little.

Let us put all that behind us for today.

Let’s look at the wonderful things we have to look forward to?

In two days time, Santa Lenihan is going to visit us and lavish us with gifts of taxes, pay cuts and poverty.  Now, isn’t that something to celebrate? For one terrible moment, there were rumours that the recession is nearly over, but we can rest assured – after Wednesday, we will be firmly back in the deepest depression known to man.

Then the week after next, we would have had Christmas, but it has been cancelled.  The various Chambers of Commerce around the country have decided that as we are all penniless, there is no point in holding a Christmas this year.  If your children complain, just tell them to shut the fuck up.  They will be grateful in the end, as they will be able to brag to their grandchildren that times were really tough in their day.

This day two weeks is the Shortest Day.  The Winter Equinox heralds in the lengthening of the days as we drag ourselves out of winter.  It also heralds the start of the really miserable weather that will last until summer, which is expected to last for two days in May next year.  If you think the weather has been bad up to now, you ain’t seen nothing yet!

NAMA has exceeded all expectations and is going to cost us billions more than the government expected.  Isn’t it nice that we have all been proved right?

So, all in all, we have a lot to be happy about.

To celebrate Christmas, I would like to dedicate this silent performance of The Messiah to all three people on the Interweb who haven’t seen it yet.

Make the most of it.

It’s the only bit of Christmas you’re going to get on this site.
