I'll check the spelling tomorrow.

There was a four car pile up just after the sign - d'ya think they were distracted? lol!

Nah - it was the usual thing - some naive soul stopped when the lights just turned red and the three behind him ploughed on and buried themselves in each other!

I thought so.

So why ask if he converted to Christianity then. :lol: Sorry, I am being a bit picky.

well, I see the forum hasn't changed all that much over 2010... Any thread becomes a debate club without warning... Ah well, you folks have three weeks to make your New Years Resolutions.

My first sight of a public festive greeting this year was down at the Theatre/Library - a huge illuminated HAPPY HANNUKAH sign has been erected on the corner - compliments of WWW.JEWISHCYPRUS.COM

Just when they were starting to convince me that it was GREEK lol!


I always knew you were a Jew, Trajan would be rolling in his grave.

That comment really isn't in the spirit of Christmas, Yialousa1971. Christmas is about Peace of Earth and goodwill to all, and that's why I sent Seasons Greetings.
