Hello all Just to wish you all a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!
BAD news - Metro strike is off - welcome to mega rugby scrum... OH.. and Newcastle have got a home game too....
:cry: :cry:
The Metro unstrike was sort of good news, as I wasn't looking forward to walking to work today (Bus? What's that?). But stupid John just had to wander into Northumberland St around 1pm. Stupid stupid John.
I'm not entirely sure what the population of Newcastle is, but I'm sure there were three times that number all crowded into each and every shop. Not that it was possible to get near any of them - the entire population of China had been flown in specially to mill about outside. It was a solid mass of people.
If there's anything that's guaranteed to make me stop shopping at Christmas time, it's Christmas shopping. How can anyone buy anything at this time of year?
Makes you wonder why they had to put christmas at a time when
1) Weather is so bad
2) shops are so busy
3) everyone is busy visiting relatives
surely it would be much more sensible to have christmas at a quieter time of the year?

Good grief, Jags - there's some lethal looking heels there! In sizes that would fit me too - as a large 8 most girls shoes don't fit, good job I don't wear them really, but Kat, hey - they're bound to have your size :twisted:
Nice one Fred :giggle:
