The silence has been deafening I’m sure.

As the Christmas Spirit rolled around once again it was picked up and dusted off, given a large glass of brandy and left alone in a corner muttering to itself. Good times where had by all, with Karin and I spending Christmas with my family at my Aunt and Uncle’s house (last Christmas we were in Sweden so it was nice to be in England). When, eventually, we tired of the presence of the Christmas Spirit we simply knocked it down with the Christmas tree and rolled it on it’s way. And so the Spirit of Christmas continues.

As I’m in a period of solid programming with my work I’m never really in the mood to write much here but I have now enlisted the help of a former comrade to keep this place lively.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Let me introduce to you the new co-writer of this blog and the current President of the Russian Federation, Mr. Vladimir Putin!

“I AM AN EX-KGB WORLD LEADER! FEAR ME!”

Quite. So Vlad, what would you like to say to your new audience?

“THOSE UKRAINIAN WHORES! TRYING TO SUCK ME DRY! I HAVE HAD TO STOP PUMPING AS THEY WON’T PAY! BUT VLAD COMES CHEAPLY NO LONGER! WHEN WILL THEY LEARN!”

Yes Vlad. Those nasty Ukrainians. You go sit over there now…
