    No it isn't. I will not be tucking into swan tomorrow. The swans in the local park and on the Danube are still there. Here's a nice website showing all the nature reserves in Serbia.

    So as me and my ex alternate it year by year this year it's my turn to have my boy overnight night on christmas eve and as he's 3 it's the first time he is really understanding it :)

    Buzzing isn't the word, not felt this in the spirit for years. Had a busy but nice day today seeing all the family I won't see tomorrow.

    Only got home an hour ago so put him to bed after putting stuff out for father Christmas and his Reindeers, did my last bit of wrapping, took a huge bite from both carrot and mince pie (yuck!) and filled his stocking up... Now chilling with a nice few peronis <ok>

    Can't wait to see his little face tomorrow... Even the fact that I know I'm working tomorrow isn't ruining my mood :)

    Merry Christmas to one and all... We spend most of the year bickering really but in the main it's a good little community we've got here so I hope all of and your families have a great day <cracker>



    <cheers>







    P.s. If anyone feels like popping on to say hello between the hours of 5-10 tomorrow evening while I'm at work it would be much appreciated <laugh>

    An ethical dilemma for golfers.

    What if you were playing in the club championship tournament finals and the match was halved at the end of 17 holes.
    You had the honour and hit your ball a modest two hundred fifty yards to the middle of the fairway, leaving a simple six iron to the pin.

    Your opponent then hits his ball, lofting it deep into the woods to the right of the fairway.

    Being the golfing gentleman that you are, you help your opponent look for his ball. Just before the permitted five minute search period ends,
    your opponent says: "Go ahead and hit your second shot and if I don't find it in time, I'll concede the match."

    You hit your ball, landing it on the green, stopping about ten feet from the pin. About the time your ball comes to rest, you hear your opponent
    exclaim from deep in the woods: "I found it!"
    The second sound you hear is a click, the sound of a club striking a ball and the ball comes sailing out of the woods and lands on the green,
    stopping no more than six inches from the hole.





    Now here is the ethical dilemma:Do you pull the cheating bastard’s ball out of your pocket and confront him with it, or do you keep your mouth shut?


    Merry xmas to you all!

    I crossed you off “must have a game of golf with him” list the moment I read, “ A modest 250 yards”...

    Hand his ball in at the clubhouse this week with his name so they give it to him. Then he’ll know.

    Merry Christmas.

    My days of hitting a golf ball that far, albeit only very occasionally, are long gone.
    Merry Christmas to you as well

    Usual quandary,,,friend gives you an unwanted gift with gift receipt. It's not massively expensive and I really don't need the money to buy anything else.

    Have already decided really....I will keep it and use it when I see her.....even though I really don't want to. Guess a friend's happiness outweighs money or convenience.....just.<laugh>

    If it’s a friend Fran that’s the right thing. If it’s a relation, ask them, “WTF is this?”

    Merry Christmas, or Winterval, or how ever else you describe this time if year to all the denizens of this forum. Off to the in-laws shortly for loads of food and an excess of alcohol, hope your days are equally enjoyable today
