whats the box with the x in.

Sorry about the poor signal to noise ratio. There should be a small animated gif in each of my posts. I am trying to host the file on Google but it clearly doesn't work properly. It must only work for me because I went and checked the link another way and the file will now be in my cache. I've just tried Firefox (I usually use Opera) and the image is missing. There must be something strange about the way files are hosted on Google, so I guess I'll need to get some webspace of my own.

OK, the same image is now hosted on Photobucket. I hope you can see it this time.

This is the only site I know where it's possible to put HTML directly into posts and have it come out the other end. All the other forums I visit mess up raw HTML fairly comprehensively.

Ok, fine... So now we know what J (from A) looks like...

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way

A risk assessment must be submitted before an open sleigh is considered safe for members of the public to travel on.
The risk assessment must also consider whether it is appropriate to use only one horse for such a venture, particularly if passengers are of larger proportions.
Please note, permission must be gained from landowners before entering their fields.
To avoid offending those not participating in celebrations, we would request that laughter is moderate only and not loud enough to be considered a noise nuisance.

While Shepherds Watched

While shepherds watched
Their flocks by night
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around


The Union of Shepherds has complained that it breaches health and safety regulations to insist that shepherds watch their flocks without appropriate seating arrangements being provided, therefore benches, stools and orthopaedic chairs are now available. Shepherds have also requested that due to the inclement weather conditions at this time of year that they should watch their flocks via CCTV cameras from centrally heated shepherd observation huts.
Please note, the Angel of the Lord is reminded that before shining his / her glory all around she / he must ascertain that all shepherds have been issued with glasses capable of filtering out the harmful effects of UVA, UVB and the overwhelming effects of Glory.

Thank goodness the funnies are back...If the 3 wise men had been women, they would have arrived with a large casserole, cleaned the stable and watched the baby while Mary went and had her hair and nails done!!!!!

Celadon scrobe:

... glasses capable of filtering out ... the overwhelming effects of Glory.

Damn, what am I supposed to do now.

Just for you Helena:-

We Three Kings

We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star

Whilst the gift of gold is still considered acceptable - as it may be redeemed at a later date through such organisations as 'Cash for Gold' etc, gifts of frankincense and myrrh are not appropriate due to the potential risk of oils and fragrances causing allergic reactions. A suggested gift alternative would be to make a donation to a worthy cause in the recipients name or perhaps give a gift voucher.
We would not advise that the traversing kings rely on navigation by stars in order to reach their destinations and suggest the use of RAC Routefinder or satellite navigation, which will provide the quickest route and advice regarding fuel consumption. Please note as per the guidelines from the RSPCA for Mr Donkey, the camels carrying the three kings of Orient will require regular food and rest breaks. Face masks for the three kings are also advisable due to the likelihood of dust from the camel feet.

Thanks, Celadon, You are the proberbial star we all strive to follow. Keep shining brightly!
Colin

Sorry, talking in proberbs instead of proverbs, again.
