Better than some of the garbage the Labour party sends me through the post every Christmas. I get these lists of "useful numbers" - ie. services provided locally. It's all drugs helplines, domestic violence support groups, local police contacts, child abuse support services etc. etc. I was left thinking, "oh thanks, guys! And a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too." Never had anything like that at any previous address in which I've resided. Believe me, the first Christmas I spent here (in 2001) I wondered where the bloody hell I'd moved to. "For heaven's sake!" thought I, imagining I was in one of the safer and more stable parts of Swindon, but silly me, I had in fact failed to notice I'd moved to Harlem. Funny how one makes these little mistakes.

[Duj] Wandering around Tesco at the weekend, I spotted shelves recently filled with chocolate creme eggs and ickle easter bunny things.
Chicken update: She's gone back home to the farm :-)

Awww, I'm glad there was a heartwarming end to the chicken's adventure, Chalky. :)

Looks like Lord Hamilton's doing the rounds, so if you'll excuse me for a moment...

Normality, I think.

It looks as though the ball has reached some sort of lull, so there could be an opening for something new...

We haven't had a Daily Mail Headlines game in a while...except it'd look a lot like Mini Cheddars, tho.

[DrQ] I'm up for that.
An alternative suggestion ... as both the other MC sites each have a pair of 'poetry' games - why not a Haiku game?

I second Chalky's idea.

Unfortunately, the late arrivals won't stop coming in!

My recent 'upgrade' seems to have killed the win-detect code. How embarrassing...

Should be fixed now.

...and in the event of winning a game, it might even be possible to start a new one again now.
