...Thunderbirds are go......work complete for 2009, now bring on Christmas preparations. In our house that involves some pagan-like superstition that Mrs Scobes harbours where everything and I mean everything, has to be washed, brushed, hoovered, cleaned or polished before Christmas and then again before New Year. I'm taking a well earned break from scrubbing the top and bottom ovens with some nasty hydrochloric acid type stuff, which kills asthmatics and fish and presumably asthmatic fish too.

Finished my working day with a trip to the ever superb Thomson's Bar for a festive pie and a pint with this blipper and this blipper. Good chat lads but the highlight for me was the look of delight on 42's face when he discovered a whole chipolata in his festive pie!

Anyway, back to my chores....who said Christmas isn't fun?
