It is PC gorn mad. If you are going to go all Richard Littlejohn at least spell it in Estuary. Anyone who chooses to be offended because they are wished Happy Holidays is too precious for words. They deserve and annual subscription to the Daily Mail as their Holiday gift.

I am not offended, just why Holidays. We have holidays all year round and no one says it when it's an actual bank holiday. Why not merry Jesus day, or happy giving day, but Holidays well that's just F@@ked up as not everyone is on a holiday.

Happy Jesus Day sounds better than Merry Jesus Day, sort of rolls off the tongue.
Besides, it could get confused with Mary Jesus Day.

If you don't drink alcohol and always refuse it, how does one "unintentionally consume" enough to be over the legal limit for driving.

I'm sure there must be a logical explanation but for a top professional athlete who has to be extremely careful about diet and anything else in their system and for whom the effects might be more noticeable, I'm a little suspicious as to whether unintentionally means an accident, something underhand or they just simply lapsed and accepted something they "always refuse"

It somewhat amuses me that the people in our office handling our Xmas card list and mailing are not Christians.

One is a devout Muslim. The other is Hindi.

Even they refer to it as the Xmas card list.

For 15 years ours was done by a Jew. I suppose less than a quarter of the recipients are even nominally Christian. Still an effort is made to order proper "Merry Christmas" cards.

If I still sent such things personally, which I don't, I'd be tempted to buy them from Private Eye or the Daily Mash.

I noticed on our company diary that the Xmas party is coming up. It will be karaoke and people are encouraged to wear Xmas sweaters. All I can say is: "thank fork I live thousands of miles away from London".

My missus has her office party coming up. It's also sweater-themed. She bought one yesterday. When I saw it, I used two words. The first was "Holy". The second was unprintable.

I've been banned from HID's Christmas work party.

Why would you want to go anyway?

Count yourself lucky.

I don't and I do. But just to be on the safe side I made sure.

At Wal Mart today the 2 people in front of me had 3 carts of milk. Almost $300.

The cashier wasn't happy as it was the 20 item or less line.

Well Milk only is less than 20.

It was probably easier/quicker than 19 different things.

They should have bought some flour, too, and battered anyone who complained.

Still had to scan each one individually. They had a mix of 2% and 1%.

Using a walker to get to the toilet was the best she could do the day after. Monday she made it just outside the room door and back again.

Today her arm hurt through using it in a way she normally doesn't (the walker) and a crutch was a non starter.

But they let her out today, which was a bit surprising. But I guess she's no worse at home than in a room with nothing to see but a wall and a curtain between her and the next bed. The room mate had the blinds down mostly too.

Everything she needs is all on one floor so she doesn't have to go upstairs but it was a struggle to get her up the front steps. We managed using a wheelchair. Although I did pull something in my back.

Hopefully I'll be able to move tomorrow. It won't be so easy hiding it if I can't move.

The discharge nurse said no weight on it for 6 weeks but if the house is on fire and you have to put weight on it, it's okay.
