And the rest is silence
All is quiet on Free Market Towers & as ever your humble correspondent is in disgrace after a little hiccup in church earlier this afternoon – as the church wardens handed round the plate, I was nabbed passing round a hip flask. My only defence … its contents (’04 vintage damson gin declared a triumph by many pundits) were a damn sight better than the communion wine.
Its probably best that I sign off now & try to rebuild my bridges with not only Mrs FM & the Anglican church … so to the few of you that are still talking to me …
A very very Happy Christmas to you & your loved ones

It is a scandal that in this day of decent wine at low prices how awful communion wine remains...and served so seldom.
Time for some reform there, I say.
That and a pork sandwich before so to settle everyones stomach.

Two-buck Chuck from Napa would be a better minimum standard, and bigger communion glasses please! Merry Christmas!

Ooooh damson gin... I had some pre-Christmas drinkage with the Emperor Misha on Christmas Eve -- fiery S. African brandy -- so the old noggin is not altogether its normal cheerful self.
Nevertheless:
Merry Christmas to Family FM !!!!!
Kiss Mrs. FM from me -- tell her whence it comes. Just lay off the tongue.
