  , though any mugger best beware one of them has quite a reach....if only I could draw..... I have some very comical images going through my head of Santa whirling a sword above his head whilst riding in his sleigh pulled by menacing red eyed demon reindeer, one with a red nose and a sack in the back of the sleigh splitting at the seams with old weapons.....sorry it must be the meds...twitch twitchI look forward to the Christmas stocking show and tell after Christmas day   Gav Last edited by freebooter; 17th December 2009 at 01:45 AM.  |

			Merry Xmas to those who celebrate it, and a joyful holiday season to everyone. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Happy next year for those who assume it finishes in December 31th, extended also for the proper dates to those who count years using different calendars for their coming year. No, not really wanting to be politically correct (  ), but trying to recognize the internationality and multiculturality of the people I address to through this extraordinary forum, which variety constitutes one of its most precious assets .In short, best wishes, be well, all, you and your loved ones. ![]() Bon nadal, bones festes i bon Any Nou. Feliz Navidad, felices fiestas y próspero Año Nuevo.  |
