My poor old mum was taken into hospital today - Christmas Eve - with the care and attention of our excellent nurses and doctors hopefully she will be alright - just had a knock on my door by someone who said because they saw the lights on they wanted to come up and ask after her and for me to know how much pleasure their children get from the lights - the way I was feeling earlier I wasn't going to switch them on tonight - I'm so glad I did - those lights are shining out for you auld yin - and to all you pc brigade that want to live in darkness - BAH HUMBUG!

Aye a recovery regardless of the speed- a recovery nonetheless, perhaps we should all give thanks to the developmental traits of us Human Beings.

Aye yur right MacDuff.

He coories doon in a wee corner below the Toon Hall and when the coont doon reaches naithing he throws the lever. Therrs merr o them up the Langra throwin switches lake they wur demented or sumthin.

Imagine if he had a coffing fit jeest at that time an coona dae it. The green kneed celbrity declares the lights lit, an hee haw heppuns. Yur man stops spleeterin an pits on the switch.
Brilliant.

The celebrity's switch is wired tae a special optic in the Toon Hall for poorin oot a gret big snorter o the queer stuff for um, an heats up a big han fur pattin him on the back for a job well done. The wee guy daein the work parcels up his tools an shoots the craw.

Its hoot Christmas is ah aboot eftur ah.

why did nobody tell me? all these years i've avoided the thing and now i find out it's really a big event? why don't hey put something in a newsletter and post it to every hoose, they could have badly focused pictures, photocopies of the cheque that pays the celeb, maybe a wee coopin for a roll and sausage oota Mcilcherries, they could get locals to sponsor it, i know i'd pay not to see thon heid the ba that strings lights roon the works van and calls it a float, the fire enjun goes past my hoose every tuesday night, i aye close the blinds in case theres wans walkin way it shakin buckets for donations and you tell me they only do this when the lights get switched on?

better still, why don't they stick them on the festival weekend, is that a different festive season? is it different buckets? does he wear that shrek costume ah year roon? i've wan oh his shirts on the wee fla's bedroom wa, he could borrow it for the night, tho he'd need to just wave it roon in the air as i don't think it'll go ower his napper?

will the local polis be doin a re-enactment of that old festive story of stoppin three men in the street in possesion of controlled substances, where will they find a manger since they knocked ah they hooses doon? is the only crime worth stopping shoplifting? judgin by the panel its just a wee thought?

am i better to stay in the hoose as usual for my own safety?
