    “The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

    Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

    We are staying up to call various overseas friends and family in other time zones. Well that's the official excuse.... :beer:

    There's been a delicious selection of cheese and port and xmas cake to keep us entertained in the meantime though!

    Christmas cake is not so popular in our house. Mum likes it, but no one else. Plenty of cheese and port though. Cheers and merry Christmas :beer:

    You might as well go to bed, to be honest... firstly, he doesn't come if you stay awake ... and, secondly, you've probably not been "a good boy" this year, so he's giving you a miss anyway.

    Harsh ... but it's better you know now, rather than being disappointed in 3-4 hours' when you realise he didn't call!

    :)
    You wouldn't like me so much if I was always a good boy ;)

    Anyway, although I never saw him, Santa has called so I might as well go to bed and look out for him again next year.
    I think....

    Tour birth was closer to lenin's death than today is to your birth. The world's population has almost exactly doubled since your birth.

    And most damning, 83% of visitors to this site are younger than you...
