Now then, it’s Friday at 16:00 in the Snowy UK and I’m off on holiday for a fortnight. I’d like to take this opportunity to wish all my friends on the list a Merry and a Happy New Year for 2010 - when it comes. See you all next year. Happy Toading. Cheers, Norm. [TeamT] PS.

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all…and a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2010, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make the UK great (not to imply that the UK is necessarily greater than any other country or is the only “UK” in the Western hemisphere), and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith, or sexual orientation of the wished. This wish is limited to the customary and usual good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first. " Holiday " is not intended to, nor shall it be considered, limited to the usual Judeo-Christian celebrations or observances, or to such activities of any organized or ad hoc religious community, group, individual or belief (or lack thereof). Note: By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms. This greeting is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. This greeting implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for the wishee her/himself or others, or responsibility for the consequences which may arise from the implementation or non-implementation of same.

What do you mean by “winter solstice”? I am offended in the name of the whole Southern Hemisphere !!! I guess you can always be out-politically-corrected…. ---

Hi Martin, > Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes > for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, > non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice > holiday,....... I get the impression you did that one last year as well. I did it a couple of years ago too I think! 😉 Cheers, Norm. [TeamT] ---
