    Go on, spoil yourself...it's Christmas 🥂🍾🎄🎅

    Just remember, friends. Worry is just interest on trouble, payable in advance!
    Wise words! Glad to hear your water supply is back on, and hope you get a delivery of heating oil soon. You are definitely not alone in hoping for 2023 to be better than this year, its a sentiment shared by many. Keeping my fingers crossed for us all🤞😃👍🎄

    Can we cut the gratuitous use of the emojis please - posts are beginning to look like an American generals' uniform with their hundreds of medal ribbons!

    Bah humbug!!

    I did not mean any harm or to cause offence with the emojis. I've had a pretty bad 18 months, including losing my mum, and did not think anyone would mind.

    The clue is in the title of the thread. Sorry if you took it the wrong way!

    A drunk wakes up in jail on New Years Eve and asks the first Police Officer he sees: "Why am I here?"
    The Police Officer replies: "For drinking".
    "Great" the drunk slurs. "When do we start?"

    In the very early hours of New Years Day, a copper sat in a layby spots a car gunning up the road at a fair old lick and certainly well in excess of the posted speed limit. He lights up the blues and starts off after the speeder. After about five miles, he catches up and flashes his headlights for the other driver to pull over.

    When they are both stopped at the side of the road, the traffic cop gets out and goes over to the drivers side window. He taps on the window which winds down.

    He has a quick sniff and quickly decides the driver hasn't been drinking so decides to be a bit lenient as it's New Year and perhaps just issue a Fixed Penalty for the speeding.

    Driver: "Morning officer. What's the problem?"

    Officer: "Well sir, you were going rather fast. This is a forty limit and you passed me a few minutes ago going a little faster than that and in fact I think you may even have sped up a bit after you spotted me."

    Driver: "Oops! Well, I expect that will be points on my licence and a fine then?"

    Officer: "Look, sir. You were going a bit too fast and I should give you a ticket, but you haven't been drinking and if you can give me a reasonable excuse then I may be prepared to let you off with a verbal warning."

    Driver: "Well, about two years ago my wife ran off with a policeman and I was a bit worried you might be bringing her back."

    Officer: "On your way sir...drive carefully."

    Have you heard the rumour that the Chancellor of the Exchequer is going to release a Double A side from the musical Oliver?
    "You've Got Pick A Pocket Or Two" and "I'm Reviewing The Situation".
    I think The Speaker of The House of Commons cover version of Stealers Wheels "Stuck In The Middle With You" ("Clowns To The Left Of Me Jokers To The Right") will beat it though.🤡😃

    I've just watched Oliver on TV. Ron Moody for Chancellor, anyone?
