Happy Hannuka . . .

Tick, tock! It's that time of the year again. Yes, it's time to rise up and challenge the widespread practice of Christmas "music" in shops, and other inappropriate activities like greetings cards sent from the postman! Not. In the same vein,  I read in the Guardian today that 8 people have already complained about "sexism" in the Winter M&S advert! Well, all I can say is, "Get a life!" Yes, indeed, sirs and madams,  what you need badly to be complaining of is the deep sadness of your empty schedules, and the glut of it that you insist on spreading about like ordure. Look what became of Kenneth Williams . . . .Ask yourself, "Why do I have all this free time?"

I suggest that you take up some voluntary work, maybe holding the hand of someone dying in hospital alone, or shopping for the elderly, or anything involving doing something for SOMEBODY ELSE. Narcissism is not so attractive if it happens to be your only attribute. Be warned: ringing in to the BBC complaining about the adverts does not count as a life. So, get those pills lined up now.

By the way, happy Christmas!
