" I ... live in a world full of fools babbling "Merry Christmas" at one another? What's Christmas but a time for finding yourself a year older and not a day richer? There's nothing merry in that. If I could work my will, .... every idiot who goes about with "Merry Christmas" on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through his heart. " Ebenezer Scrooge ....you gotta love it!
Sprouts, sprouts we all love em. Washed down with prune juice for that special evening! Dutch oven time!
Ebenezer: You'll want the whole day off tomorrow, I suppose. Bob Cratchit: If quite convenient, sir. Ebenezer: It's not convenient. And it's not fair! If I stopped you half a crown for it, you'd think yourself ill used, wouldn't you? But you don't think me ill used if I pay a day's wages for no work, hmm? Bob Cratchit: 'Tis only once a year, sir. Ebenezer: That's a poor excuse for picking a man's pocket every 25th of December. Bob Cratchit: Yes, sir. I'm sure I'm very sorry, sir, to cause you such an inconvenience. It's the family more than me, sir. They put their hearts into Christmas as it were, sir. Ebenezer: Yes, and put their hands into my pockets as it were, sir. I suppose you'd better have the whole day. But be back all the earlier the next morning. Bob Cratchit: I will indeed, sir. Thank you, sir! It's more than generous of you, sir. Ebenezer: Yes, I know it is, you don't have to tell me.
Not a quote exactly, but a scene from my all time favourite xmas movie. Watched it a hundred times with my kids before they got too old for it! View: http://youtu.be/9jyCfRHumHU
Is that one more piece of coal!! Mister Bah Humbug!! So what have you bought Karen for Christmas then, Shaun!!!
Ah! done her proud this year - got her the very latest Black & Decker power drill. (She might get tired of it by end of Boxing Day though - I'll do the right thing and take it off her hands ... )
I agree, Dewalt or Makita would be the preferred option and will prove longer lasting........You still have time to change, Screw Fix have some good deals at the moment
Shaun did, he bought Karen the very latest model Black & Decker make!!! I'm buying Sandy a Bosch Sander, I'm sure she'll be thrilled!! and even better when she's tired of it, I get to use it, can't wait for Boxing Day! Mike
