Spot is that you or an imposter????????????????????

My house is a christmas free zone this year. All the visitors that were invited are too strappwd for cash to travel the distance to my house. Its weird though because when i realised i wasnt to have visitors i actually instantainiously relaxed. You dont realise what stress is caused at this time of year until you dont have to do it anymore.

Merry Christmas to you too, Spot!

By the way, I still use the grc.com site you clued me into some time ago for when I need a new password. I'm reformed ... at least when it comes to passwords!

Talking of which, we were doing some Carol Singing, raising money for Charity at Asda on Thursday. Their Butchery Department was offering 4 legs of Venison for £40. Is that really a bargain, or is it two deer?

Two deer would be £80 at this end of the country, they're very dependent. I expect your deer stand on their own two feet.
