Overheard listening to BBC Radio 4's A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols:
Chairman: "Shall we listen to Radio 4's A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols? I just fancy listening to some wonderful carols"
Hay: "Yes, that'd be nice."
50 minutes later:
Chairman: "Good grief - there's another 40 minutes of this. Don't think I can bear any more..."
After another 10 minutes:
Chairman: "I could even manage to listen to a bit of Slade now."
After 1 hour and 33 minutes:
Chairman: "Thank God that's over for another year"
Turkeys, ducks, sprouts and parsnips were 30% off at Lidl by 3:45 yesterday afternoon.! Even the panettone and stollen bites were going at 30% off and I managed to snaffle the last panettone in the shop. Result! Scrooge is alive and well...

Bertrand Russell: said "I am myself a dissenter from all known religions, and I hope that every kind of religious belief will die out."
I too am non-plussed by religionists who consider themselves to be intelligent thinking people and yet swallow the preposterous idea of a distant mysterious creature who rules their life and death.
