Well funnily enough 'the morning after' is a different matter. Radio silence as hangovers are nursed and lie-ins are taken

Hope all you guys had a good one - I certainly did!
Steve, it must be hard for you at this time of year and not really being able to get into the Christmas spirit (in more ways than one). When do Tasha and you celebrate Christmas together properly with Christmas dinner, etc? You seem to kind of go your separate ways. But I guess by now you're used to what it's like being a taxi driver at this time of year...
Never mind, I hope you made plenty of dosh!

Wot? No red wine to hand on Christmas day - what sacrilege!We didn't have any red wine to hand!
I guess then you're not a wine drinker. We've got bloody gallons of the stuff, although quite a bit of it was drunk yesterday
Anyway, glad it went well for you
Mikey,
Sounds good, mate - shame you have to work though. Del and I are off until the second week in January

No... I'm a beer man... a couple of Adnams Broadside, a Bath Ales Rare Hare, a London Pride while watching wallace & Gromit, and a Peroni Gran Reserva dark lager with the meal... we had a bottle of white on the table but I really don't like vino!

A good day indeed was had by all. Off now on a 4m walk and a pint at the end of it
