My step-son has been a top cyclist and holds the record for the fastest coast to coast cycle ride across there - can't remember how fast he did it but will check with hubbie in the morning and let you know - then you'll have a target to aim at Money Fritter

Anyway, I cant believe you guys are talking about christmas already. :eek:

Reminds me of a poem I wrote a couple of years ago.

Christmas Mayhem

That time of year is here,
A time were bedlam insues,
Folk running around like headless chickens,
Buying presents, decorations and food.
That combination can only mean one thing,
Its christmas time once again,
The battle lines are drawn,
In every store it feels just like a war,
The fighting in the aisles,
The pushing and bumping in the streets,
Everyone looking for presents,
Hoping to find a few nice treats
A pleothera of expressions upon the faces,
of people as they move to different places,
There are people who are smiling and strolling,
as they amble through the crowds as if rolling,
these are the veterans of shopping,
The experienced christmas campaigners,
But then we have the novices,
that stick out like fresh faces in offices,
They move just like a ball,
bouncing off every single wall,
Their direction and pathway uncertain,
their arrival makes people run for survival,
Then we have idiots with pushchairs,
trying to squeeze through the smallest of gaps,
Mayhem and madness insues,
as shelves topple and fall with a crash,
Then there are people who just stand and stare,
frozen for all to see,
Confused, dazed and brain dead,
Their bags and arms emptieeeee.
They pray that santa is real because they haven't got a clue,
of what to buy their children, anything will do!!!
But now this tale must end,
as I am going around the bend,
All that remains to be said, is happy christmas with lots of cheer,
But if you don't, after all that shopping,
Make sure you drink lots of beer.

Nah, but thank you.
