It's here...aparently...
York was full, I mean FULL(I was push into the road as the pavement was crammed shoulder to shoulder with little old dears) of tourists this weekend. They all came to York in coaches for St Nicholas Fair, which is a christmas market kind of thing... If you thought it's impossible to be run over by old ladies, come to York and you'll think again.
So Christmas fever is beginning to get to me now... I've got a few presents sorted, and I'm now really feeling slight twinges of pressure.
And to top it all off, I got to work today to see a Christmas tree in reception, apparently grown overnight, decorated beautifully with red and gold. Lovely. It struck me with fear to my very core... IT'S ONLY NOVEMBER!!!
Bloody commercial Christmas...baahhh!
More anon dear folk.

I know what you mean about commercialisation. My aunt used to live near York (I think, anyhow) and she said that she remembers lining up for hours to get a Turkey for Christmas.
I realize now that it looks like those two halves of the comment are connected. They're not. The commercialisation is entirely separate from the
Turkey.
I hope things begin to look up for you.
personally i prefer a nice bit of chicken breast at christmas, its much more tender especially with a nice sage stuffing and a little rich gravy...delightful
ps: have got back in touch with will from d of e and he'll probably be dropping you a line soon (we should get the guys back for a night on the tiles, paint the town pink (or orange)- except the boring ones [how many does that leave]?
pps: sorry for not e-mailing, invloves too many buttons
ppps: you should be more sociable and thanks again for letting me kip over
pppps: to everyone else reading this, i slept on the couch.
Haha! Thanks for clarifying Andy. And you're welcome. As for painting the town red/yellow/orange or whatever rainbow colour we choose, I think thats an awesome idea. I need an excuse to go into work with a hangover... I've been so ill lately it's untrue. My immune system is definitely fighting somethng off... Keep in touch, and let me know how Will's getting on now!
:o)
