In the meantime, archives are available for your amusement.
A very Merry Christmas to all readers, subscribers, commenters and lurkers.

May the sun never set on your Empire, and your camels never fester and their fearsome odour never diminish.

Merry Christmas, JonnyB. May there be no trips to Casualty for your family this year. Or next.

Merry Christmas Jonny. May the village be a haven of peace and happiness over the festivities.
December 23rd, 2007 at 7:42 pm
Happy Christmas,JonnyB!
Closed? Of course, you left the comments open, so we shall run stark naked through them until you return.
Okay, everyone, Jonny’s not looking, so it’s time to take over!

Merry Christmas to you, your family, and all in the village, including Short Tony. Do try to keep the partying to a minimum, as it is likely to be contrary to regulations to disturb the neighboring, less-festive villages.
Regards,
Ric

Dear Jonny, I hope you have a very jolly Christmas. I have only been reading blogs for a few months, and yours is my favourite. You’re my happiest discovery this year. Thanks for making me laugh for so many times xo

Seasons Greetings to you Mr. JB.
I’ve enclosed a small gift for you to share with Short Tony. Please leave in freezer until ready to use.
(requires no batteries, but do have first aid kit close by)

Calm down, it’s only a blog.
December 25th, 2007 at 4:45 pm
Nothing to see here, folks. Move along now.
December 25th, 2007 at 6:09 pm
Merry Xmas !

Happy Hogswatch, too, Mr. B.

I hope you have saved the receipts for the gift or gifts bought for the LTLP. You know she will want to return them.

Thanks to you, yours and various commenters throughout the year – much joy derived from all of you.
I can’t believe Ivan the T has toddlers near his tree – run, kids, run…

Wot??? Still closed? How can this be? I mean, a new year starts the day after tomorrow and everything! Bad form I think, very bad form.
December 31st, 2007 at 4:04 pm
May all your troubles be little ones . No seriously may you find fame, fortune and happiness in 2008.
December 31st, 2007 at 4:06 pm
Ivan I’m sure he’s married. Just a bit shy about it.
January 1st, 2008 at 7:42 pm
Aha! I see my new anti-spoof avatar gets picked up in old comments. Death to spoof-poofs!
Meanwhile, it’s a New Year, hope it’s a happy one for all.

Are you in Hospital?
Might see you there then.

Dear jonny,
Hope you have not been dragged off to the pokey as the New Year Festivities have come and gone…. and you seem to still be gone!!!

This is getting depressing.
January 3rd, 2008 at 9:42 am
Pssssst – I am not here really. It is annoying. I am not allowed to fuck around on the computer until the LTLP goes back to work. I shall try to get some fucking around done later on.
January 3rd, 2008 at 11:44 am
Can’t you do a Blue Peter and fool LTLP with the old ‘here’s one I prepared earlier’ defence.
January 3rd, 2008 at 3:12 pm
PS to pssst – hullo Neve Nera and welcome, and to Mrs Brand, and good luck with your project.
I am secretly typing this. I must learn to be more assertive.
January 3rd, 2008 at 3:15 pm
I’m not here either! I’m “sick,” hence not at work, so fucking around on the computer is safe. Actually, I really am sick, off to lie down until your blog returns. Happy New Year to you, eh.
January 3rd, 2008 at 3:17 pm
Can’t resist–of course it’s a secret diary, so secret typing is perfectly acceptable. Are you typing whilst hiding under the covers with a flashlight so your mother or surrogate doesn’t discover you?
