Yeah, we've got rid of all the boring, rubbish bits.
Hey, there's an idea; maybe we should call it Beermas..or even Prumas... :wink:
We could always go back to Saturnalia or Yule, of course, if you like old traditions. ;-)
Nah, those old pagan worshippers were all about sex orgies and human sacrifice and stuff.. Course, if you're into that sort of thing.. :lol:

What type of orgies?

You can keep the human sacrifice, but the rest of it sounds better than going to midnight mass.

Can we add back in the month of drinking to celebrate the grain and hop harvests too?

Oh, we were going to declare grapes evil, along with juniper berries and runny cheese. So spaketh Tim of Spoons in his epistle to the Mail.

I wonder how history will view Christianity on the sex front? (I ask this as a Catholic), then of course there were the Crusades... lol.

Each to their own TD. Merry Christmas, Sir.
It's a good question my friend and I'm not foolish enough to pretend it won't arise repeatedly or that I ( as no saint) know any answers beyond the Bible. In truth, not all my own family share my views on all of it of it, but belief without proof, ie religion, is the deadly enemy of science so, as you say, each to their own. I return your Christmas wishes with thanks..

Just had my Covid booster from a very nice (non medically trained!) soldier which I was surprised at, though I had read that the army would be helping out. Anyway, I digress, have many people had bad symptoms after their Covid boosters?! I was fine for the first two but lots of friends have been taken out by the booster it would seem. I need to know if I am going to be genuinely ill or whether I need to fake it for a day in bed whilst Mr GG charges round after the kids!

I mentioned back a ways G.G.that both the wife and I have had the booster without any noticeable effects. I suspect it's just like all else, folk are different, so who knows? It's not a question with a definitive answer. Hope you skip though it.

Yes, does seem a bit random who it affects, no rhyme or reason to it, and same with Covid itself. My neighbour (young, fit and healthy) had it really bad last Christmas where her husband hardly had any symptoms. My mum shared a house and bed with my dad who had it mildly in the autumn and didn’t get it at all. Glad you’re all jabbed up and healthy that way Tango. Does seem this variant, whilst more contagious, isn’t as dangerous thankfully. Still can’t believe I’ve escaped it so far working in a school environment tbh! I see Arteta has caught it for the second time, poor guy! Misses the City game NYD, which, if anything like the away match, will be a blessed relief to him I’m sure!

Absolutely none other than for momentarily waking up after rolling on to my left side and feeling the mild discomfort of where the needle went in.

My flu jab, however, had me feeling like utter shite for a week.

Did you not have both at the same time? My mum did one in each arm I think. Got a painful arm but that’s it so far. Self medicating with chocolate.

My first Pfizer I could feel the injection area for a day but no symptoms. Second shot and booster I didn't even notice the injection area. For the flu shot, two weeks before the booster, I didn't even feel the needle going in. Eventually I asked if I was part of a strange government experiment in which I was given placebos. My wife, who had the same shots at the same time, had more ill effects, though nothing serious. Luck of the genetic draw.

No, my flu jab was between my second vaccination and my booster. Chocolate sounds like a capital idea :)

I’ll third that. I worry about mine almost as much as I worry about my football team. 😉
