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!

Sorry, talking in proberbs instead of proverbs, again.

Sorry Helen about adding an 'a' to your name. Here is one for you:-

The Rocking Carol

Little Jesus, sweetly sleep, do not stir;
We will lend a coat of fur,
We will rock you, rock you, rock you,
We will rock you, rock you, rock you:

Fur is no longer appropriate wear for small infants, both due to risk of allergy to animal fur, and for ethical reasons.
Therefore faux fur, a nice cellular blanket or perhaps micro-fleece material should be considered a suitable alternative.

Please note, only persons who have been subject to a Criminal Records Bureau check and have enhanced clearance will be permitted to rock baby Jesus.
Persons must carry their CRB disclosure with them at all times and be prepared to provide three forms of identification before rocking commences.

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Under recent European legislation, holly with spines on the outside is no longer legal and by 2013 must be replaced by the new style where all the pricks are on the inside.

Furthermore, following the latest legislation from the Safety Elves, La is no longer allowed to work alone and must be accompanied by another La, forming Lala pairs.

Finally, the Association of Local Government Administrative Executives (ALGAE), in the light of their resticted pay scales, expenses and bonuses, has recommended that jollity is forbidden until at least 2017.

Here are some questions and answers given in quizes on TV and Radio.
