Advent 4......and all that!

 "Have yourselves a merry little........"

‘Spill the beans aged poop! What’s all this about old Pappy Christmas and all that and so forth and suchlike?’

‘Well Bing it’s like this, every year on Christmas Eve, those that have been very good during the year…….’

A brow becomes furrowed, I continue…

‘Will more than likely receive a special present from Father Christmas.’

‘When you say very good ageing guv, what do you mean?’

I’m trying very hard not to grin, as I look at the earnest expression and slight trembling of the lower lip.

‘Well young scamp, I should think that, providing a young chap receives a pretty decent report from a certain aged poop, then the jolly old gent in red will cough up a suitable present or two.’

‘Or TWO guv?’

‘Maybe even three if the bearded wonder is particularly taken by the report received.’

‘Crumbs!’




‘Crumbs indeed.’

‘M’mmm.  So, in your considered opinion ancient fruit.  Would you think that, by and large and so forth and such like, taking all in all, and allowing for the odd slip or three, that, the lad before you, might be considered as, reasonably in line for such a beneficial coughing up of goodies?’

It’s my turn to ‘M’mmm?’  

‘After all old relic, surely he couldn’t fail to take in to account my patience, as I tow a wheezing geezer out on his constitutional?’

‘Um?’

‘I mean to say, chaps like me keep oldies like you on your toes and such.’

‘We’ll?’ 

‘AND let’s face it Tom and Angela would vouch for my exceptional behaviour at other times.’

‘Exceptional?’

‘Cor not half guv.  I don’t like to squeak my own tennis ball, but at the end of the day, frankly if I don’t - who will?’

‘Well Bing….’

‘Yes guv?’

‘I reckon you should be….. just about…….. okay.’

A tail wags furiously.

‘Hurrah! Just about is good in my book old puffer, I’ll take just about over not very likely any day of the week!’ 

(Somehow, I reckon the lad will wake on the 25th and not be too disappointed!)

To all of you out there, may we in old Lowtown, wish you.............. 
‘A very  Happy and Blessed Christmas and a Healthy New Year!’

…..and so forth and suchlike.

Meanwhile..........just in case you haven't....what about a copy of

Must be a winner eh?  £5 from Amazon........Magic!

'It's the perfect stocking filler for folks guv!'

'What about you Bing?'

'Snacks...and such.'

'Snacks?'

'Hey I'm a hound!'
