It sounds like our Confederate counterparts in the West realise the enormity of the task ahead of them in the coming year and will be taking this opportunity to rest up and prepare. We shall be doing the same, in the sure knowledge that victory is within our grasp.
I salute you all, friends and foe, and Merry Christmas! It has been another fun year in the club and I'm looking forward to more of the same in 2010.
I had kangaroo for the first time recently, chucked in a mongol stir fry at a local food festival. Not bad at all. It's only 0 deg C here, much colder than it normally is for this time of year. There's even some snow on the ground here in Yorkshire. A rare sight these days.
