MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYBODY! At first I thought it'll be lonely this christmas, but it turns out we could have as many as 15 people coming over, and while I sometimes wish it could be christmas everyday, I don't think Debs could handle all the cooking. But as it's christmas, I'm going to try and forget all the stress, keep an eye out for Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer and Frosty the snowman and wish you a merry christmas. Hail to the Santa, baby! (phew..)

Anyway, things have been developing nicely since my last post, I now have enough money so I don't have to live on bacon, although to be honest I'm pretty much rotating dinners between pasta and rice (it's functional dammit). Work is going well if slowly and yesterdy I discovered a new and interesting way to injure myself while inflating balloons. It's a long story but let's just say those thing move faster than you think...

Nobody seems to know what we should do for new years... actually that's not strictly true, everybody has suggestions for what we should do, it's coming to a decision that's proving tricky. So therefore I'm starting a competition named the "let's decide what to do for new year's competition". It's not very imaginative but then neither am I. Send answers on a postcard (or a bank note, whatever) and the winning entry will be tried out and the sugestee (?) will be awarded a very nice badge for their efforts. Of course that's if any of us can tear ourselves away from the plug-and-play Street Fighter 2 that Simon bought recently









Go Chun-Li!!
