Silent Night

Heck. Is this Stokie?

It's just past midnight and all I can hear is the twittering of a bird. And what kind of bird sings at night in December in England?
(must Google that one..)

No police/ambulance/fire sirens; no helicopters hovering; no boom-boys in their hot hatches a-boomin'; no drunks a-staggering; no hoodies a-geezering; no domestics a-flaring; no fireworks a-bangin'; no fish wives a-hollerin'.. you get the drift.

London really does slow down and shut-the-funk-up at Christmas and it's wonderful.

And one day, someone in the so-called top four will score a goal and win a match in the Prem..

Peace and good will to all men - tho' not Gooners, of course.

Carefree

Silence? Oh, you mean what we country folk have all year round? It is nice, isn't it!

Merry Xmas.
