Merry Christmas + Happy 2009 Everyone!

[stuart-b]

Merry Christmas everyone - hope you have a nice relaxing break; it's been a hell of a year for everyone.

Don't dispare for 2009, we've been through worse (think post-war mess). I see it that the down turn has revealed the fraudsters, weeded out some uncompetitive businesses and brought the value of things down to a reasonable level again, houses, petrol, et al.

I for one, am looking forward to 2009, and the challenges and rewards it will bring, and wish everyone a Happy New Year.

Just want to spread the love

A positive attitude goes a long way to having a successful year - it's easy to fall into the doom and gloom brigade. Let's just say that a few recent events in my life have helped me realise that we come into this world with nothing, we leave with nothing. Don't ruin the bit in the middle!

Thank you, and the same to you

Although our Xmas will be slightly less fun, due to our English food hamper we ordered from the UK to Italy was sent back to the UK, due to snow, and I won’t be able to re-sample England’s finest stodge ‘till the New Year

Sometimes, no matter how nice the local food is, I NEED high cholesterol, heart attack inducing pork pies and sausage rolls.....

Yes but, it won't stop redundancy, inflation, rising unemployment, further drops in the housing market, social decay, famine, death. . . . .etc

Indeed, a real shame that! Are you staying in Italy over the festive period?

Congrats! Yes, Christmas will be fun again when I have a few little ones running around

However in a few years the present expectation will sharply rise... resulting in costly trips to Toys'r'Us etc.

All the best.

Merry Christmas, everything's crap and will be forever and ever until the end of time. Amen.

And relax.

I am actually looking forward to this one as our daughter is 3 and this is the first Christmas she really knows what's coming

All the best to everyone I've annoyed this year with my pointless posts.

Anyway I've just finished all the work I had to do for the year, so the next 2 hours, and tomorrow from 8:30-12pm is easy street.

roll on Christmas!!

Very impressive to get in there first with "die" on both threads. Top lurking.

Ohh, that reminds me, I've got a case of italy's finest waiting to go in the fridge.
