    I heard yesterday, that you can now buy "magic keys" so he can let himself into all those homes without chimneys.

    We had a house without a chimney once and he came in through the letter box.

    I think I was quite a logical child.

    I still remember staring out of an upstairs window in London, looking across hundreds of chimneys and thinking, "In one night? There's no way!"

    I would have been about 6 or 7.

    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

    I'll just settle for him bringing Peace on Earth - as it's thousands of years since we had any of that:(.

    Now that just isn't going to fit down a chimney (or a gas flue) is it?

    Well, yes I have, but I didn't organise my upbringing or select my genes, so I'm just an innocent victim of circumstance.

    Personally, I think I'm entitled to a lot more than a Meccano set. :A

    You SO don't want to go down that road with me on the thread Dave:rotfl::rotfl: (or you are likely to have me sitting there expounding on my theories that we choose our next Life to Be)...:rotfl:

    Wondering what I should have chosen as my alternative to a Meccano set - I always fancied a pet pony:cool:. That was until I moved here and started having friends with horses telling me about the accidents they've had with them....:(. Second thoughts being that its just as well I never did get that pony then...
