The halidays are only marginally worse in the silly service. I'm quitting on the 21st and back on the 3rd of Jan. It'll have to do.

[Milltown Row2]

Good luck with the inspection. They've definitely stepped up the intensity. We had one not so long ago and they missed nothing. They'll rummage through your manbag and ask to explain every piece of paper from scribbles to a wine bottle label. They'll follow you out to your car and then ask to see the insides of your motor. Hide the betting slips. They'll comment on your dress-wear - where you bought it, how much and how old it is. They'll sit beside you at lunch and watch how you eat your food and what you eat. They'll comment on your aftershave. They'll surprise you in the corridor and ask you to spell words like niece or pizza.

Then they check you, professionally.

Yeah, it really doesn't bother me, majority of the kids are grand, classes last no more than an hour and the Inspector is an ex shipyard apprentice who was a year above me when I started there.

Another bonus is that Translink are on strike this Wednesday  one day less to worry about

Terrible Christmases in 96, 97 and 98.  My da had a habit of heading for a feed of pints in the Forresters before the dinner.  Always brought at least 1 straggler home with him so there was less turkey and stuffing for the rest of us.

Go to the in-laws now so it's all good.  Only thing is they've a couple of rules:

- No brown sauce on the table. (I smuggle in a couple of sachets)
- Everyone gets the same dinner.  Mightn't sound bad but when I'm handed a plate with carrot and parsnips on it I puke in my own mouth.
- Running joke that I don't like pavalova.

Other than that, it's great and surely beats the 3 year bad run in the late 90's.

Every year are dinner is delayed due to the fact that some of the family are in the pub.


Its a usual tradition around our house to, go to Christmas Eve Mass, come home for a turkey toastie and then into the town for a drink or three. Home and tucked up in new jammies around 12.


who do you think will go out of Christ-Factor tonight? i think Janet is in trouble.
