Can't think about Christmas right now, as I haven't had my main holiday yet!

| The thing with Christmas .. ( oh ... I'm back from my extensive 2-month tour of Africa, India and the sub-continents BTW) is that as you get older they become more disappointing because your memory of Christmases past becomes a composite memory of "Christmas" so this Christmas is always compared to a lifetime of good memories of all previous Christmases all congealed together and so has no chance of being as exciting as the memory. |

And when you're feeling broke after Christmas you're expected to think about spending lots more on your summer hols!

We could all go around to Chris Evans pub for a Christmas party. It's near Guildford.
