Yes, all you regulars will know of my constant petty larceny as I snoop around unwary sites on this internet-thingie and nick anything laying about that looks good. I'm sorry, m'Lud, but I just can't help myself. When you only have a little writing talent it is just so tempting to pinch something from a seriously good writer. Also, to be fair, I didn't go looking for this, that disreputable layabout, Oswald Thake - well, he hangs about round here so he must be dodgy! - volunteered it to me in the comments to the previous post - so what's a body to do?
And there are, m'Lud, mitigating circs because if my readers are looking forward to Christmas with all the same enthusiasm as the man who won first prize in a draw which turned out to be a week's holiday in Albania - second prize was two weeks! - then let me tell you that the author of this particular blog is a marvellous, funny, gifted writer - with razors embedded in his keyboard! Read it and laugh - and for God's sale cheer up, Christmas will soon be over:

Laugh indeed! I just want to say Merry Christmas to everyone here and thanks for reading yet another scribbler from "over here". I am going to be off a day or two so everyone stay safe.
David, I hope someone gives you a fine new neck tie for Christmas.

Pointman is good isn't he? He regularly makes mincemeat of the climate clowns.
Speaking of mincemeat - Merry Christmas.
