A Christmas Carol, threw a dart into the heart, of all that was bad about Christmas, for those who were not of the leading edge of industrial capitalism.

janusz, I'd be very careful. It may be deeper than you think and you may find yourself in a LAKE instead of waking to the Christmas morning sounds of glee as Susan does.

Thanks for the warning, Just in case I will TAKE a life preserver with me when wading in (presumed) shallows.

When our children were young, we used to wake up before them on Christmas morning, we were more excited than they were, they seemed to MAKE us wait ages
Just when I thought it was safe to post, Janusz comes back from the lake and nips in before me, had to change "take" to "make" . Last edited by Malc 44 : 1 Dec 2009 at 03:41 PM. |

The TALE of two contributors submitting their posts at the same time strikes again
Not sure whether a tale can strike, but let it be... |

....and again after I edited my post, never mind, I'll continue from "tale"
Was there a GALE blowing at the lake? |
