    Last day today and off until 2nd week of the New Year.

    I shall be busy in the kitchen as the Grove clan are out tonight, at a family do on Sunday and out again on Christmas Eve. My mince pies have been requested at each event, I am just like Paul Hollywood apart from the beard, not being a Scouser and I don't have a 20-something year old bit of totty to stick it to.

    Downed tools until after Christmas so I can try and sit back and do sod all for a week or two. Still got some decorating to do as the new bits of the house are making the other areas look tired. I also aim on spending some quality time in my imaginary shed with the new amp and try to learn the 12 bar blues progression I got for homework by the guitar teacher.

    First Christmas when I will actually be seeing the kids in the morning, all previous years Mrs Grove has taken them off at the crack of dawn to the Outlaws to do their presents but they've bailed this year. Means I don't get a lie in on Christmas morning though, boo.

    I hope you all, well most of you, actually a few of you, have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.

    What a schedule I've got lined up troops.

    Tonight, probably go out for dinner then hopefully empty a load in her arse.
    Tomorrow, playing 7s in the morning then going into toon with the fleeto (wives too). Me and Julie got a room booked so debauchery almost guaranteed.
    Sunday - up early and off to McDermid park to watch the Mighty take on the Super Js. Never been to McDermid so it's another ground off the bouquet list.
    Monday - Lochrie family tradtion is take the weans to the cinema whilst Julie prepares the Xmas table, but Bernadette is now working so she's bombed out so it'll be me and Declan.
    Tuesday - 14 SKULLS coming to Lochrie Manor for Xmas dinner - think her sister is staying at ours so I'll be on the lookout for soiled pantays.
    Wednesday - Off to The Big House to watch Morelos PUMMEL Hibs and see TLB explode in a fit of Xmas beel.
    Thursday - Back to work - 7s at night.
    Friday - Working again.
    Saturday - NEW OLD FIRM GLASGOW DERBY - Celtic without a striker and Rogic away - can see an emphatic 5 niler.
    Sunday - Lanzarote bound.

    January.... BACK ON THE ANTI-DEPRESSANTS <wah>

    Good morning Slaps, could you let me know if you like the song Hitching A Ride by Sinitta? Whenever I hear the town of Hitchin mentioned that tune always springs to mind. Thank you.

    Don't think I've ever heard it nor do I think I would want to.

    Hitchin has, of course, produced some of the finest recording artists in the history of popular music:
    Chron Gen
    Rudimentary Peni
    Victims of the Pestilence
    The Bleach Boys

    You should give them a listen on Christmas Day with the family <ok>
