    Do you object to white Jesus though? Just that you've never mentioned it. I can't think why that wouldn't be top of your list.

    Any links to them? Any whites playing Nelson Mandela, Shaka Zulu etc? Or is it only one way?

    Do you have Christmas Beer Day, or is that only in Denmark?

    Ridiculous portraying a white Jesus with long hair like he looked like a member of a band in the 1960s.

    Stating I to look like Jesus or one of his disciples rather than Hitler or Himmler when hauled out with few others by the headmaster on one of his haircut crusades led to a painful meeting in his study for impertinence.

    Don’t know if it is true but a historical programme said that depictions of Jesus became based on interpretations of an old statue of Alexander The Great.

    Whatever that is it seems a custom worth adopting.

    The Danish breweries release a Christmas beer every year and on the day of its release, it's free in all bars.

    Twice, I happened to end up being in Haderslev on Christmas Beer Day, it was fairly messy.

    I had a supplier there and used to go twice a year to see them, it was just by chance that I ended up there on Christmas Beer Day on a couple of occasions.

    I once ended up in Randers and it turned out to be a national holiday so every thing was shut apart from the pubs.
    It may have been a British pub or just their version but on the evening there was a pub quiz in English, the only other brit was a Welsh guy who had lived there some years.

    I found myself in Aarhus once years ago. I hadn't intended staying over but ended up having to do so. Local hotel was full but the doorman beckoned me over and advised me to hang around in the bar, a room would probably materialise. Sure enough, around 1130 I was offered a room, seems a handful of rooms were kept back for 'short-term occupancy' but if business was slack they didn't always get used!

    Can't wait for Alex Scott to replace Lineker. Those who already whinge about Lineker won't even get the chance to dry their eyes!

    Won’t make any difference to me. Don’t watch MOTD now and won’t be because some inarticulate box ticker is shoehorned in.

    The incident I refer to was in 1964. A couple of years later was told off for going in with a suedehead look. Too short in the wrong places! Though he was going to collapse when some of us rolled up with fancy back combed hair styles held in place with mother’s hair lacquer. <laugh>
    We were a couple of years behind in those days up here.
