Stratford upon Avon Christmas Lights

The Christmas lights in Stratford upon Avon look great this year. The local council put a lot of effort (and our money) into it, but they do create a festive scene.

Season's Greetings

"Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny &%$£@! Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse."

Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase), NATIONAL LAMPOONS CHRISTMAS VACATION. One of the best Christmas movies ever.

English Football

The poor performance of the English national football team is widely known - the word "shameful" comes to mind for many supporters. I can't help thinking that these guys could do a better job.
