Are you serious Buggie? Mince pies? The place is stiff with them.

Neck as many as you want, and then dance yourself daft on the sugar rush.

It's Mud. It's 'Tiger Feet'. It's me and you on the dance floor. It's neat, it's neat, it's neat...etc.

> first time here, oooh mistletoe....mmmmmmmmx


First time here? Mistletoe? Here's a large Christmas smacker on the top of the head. X. And one for luck, X.

And what's that the Dj's spinning? It's Mud! Me! You! Dancefloor!!!

#And then she walked in looking like Dyna-Mite...#

I love seeing people who don't venture into pubs and bars during the year, dipping their toe in the water during the Christmas period.

I take pride in helping them when they can't decide what drink they might want, there's such a choice nowadays, isn't there? Almost too much some might say, but we won't 'go there'.

So when a group of strangers comes to 'your' pub, think in the spirit of the season and the innkeeper who offered Mary and Joseph a night in the barn.

Think about him and improve on his offer, give them the 'stable' environment of your local and send them away with your hosannas ringing in their ears.

And if Terry has Mud's Greatest Hits behind the bar, then so much the better.

Never mind snowballs you need to try my Christmas Cocktail - a pint of Guiness with a shot of Tia Maria. Mmmmm it's beery AND chocolatey. Now THAT'S a meal in a glass. Goes to show, you can take the girl out of Hackney but you can't take Hackney out of the girl.

Thanks RonnieMama, that one's going on the Mitzvah menu.

So who's having what? Oh to flip with it, RM's Christmas Cocktail, and Snowball chasers all round.

What's this now? Chris Rea's 'Driving Home For Christmas' Nice.

Time for a bit sit down and get us breath back after our exerting worselves with The Wombles.

#Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,

And folks dressed up like Eskimos...#


I think it?s ?Inuit? now, but it?d be lovely to get dressed up in our big parkas and mufflers and go door to door singing carols. We could raise money for charity. I?ll bring the big thermos of hot chocolate.

#Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,

Help to make the season bright.

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,

Will find it hard to sleep tonight?#


Christmas is for the children isn?t it? I think at this special time of year we should all make the effort to return in spirit to that more innocent time in our lives, when we rushed excitedly to bed on Christmas Eve with visions of sugar plums dancing in out heads. I?m there now, join me.

#They know that Santa's on his way;

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.

And every mother's child is going to spy,

To see if reindeer really know how to fly?#


Can you remember trying to stay awake and catching Santa delivering your presents?

I never managed it though, how about you?

#And so I'm offering this simple phrase,

To kids from one to ninety-two?#


My favourite line, it?s so simple yet so beautifully inclusive, isn?t it?

It conjures up images of the young learning from the wisdom of their elders of birth and renewal and the passing of time.

Has anyone got a tissue, I seem to have run out.

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
