DEAR FORUM FRIENDS!

All I wanted to say to you and yours was "Happy New Year"... then my attorney, who was here for a bit of eggnog, saw what was written and said it needed to be "adjusted"---this is what came back...

From me ("the wishor") to you ("the wishee's")

Please accept without obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, politically correct, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices 0f your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

I wish you a financially successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2018, but with due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures or sects, and having regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, choice of computer platform or sexual preference of the wishee. By accepting this greeting you are bound by the below cited terms and that this greeting is subject to further clarification or withdrawal:

1.This greeting is freely transferable provided that no alteration shall be made to the original greeting and that the proprietary copyright rights of the wishor's are acknowledged.

2.This greeting implies no promise by the wishor to actually implement the inferences contained in this correspondence.

3.This greeting may not be enforceable in certain jurisdictions and/or the restrictions herein may not be binding upon certain wishee's in certain geographical locations.

4.This greeting is warranted to perform as reasonably as may be expected within the usual application of good tidings, for a period of one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first.

5.The wishor warrants this greeting only for the limited replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wishor's....Ya got it?.

Well, I decided to risk it anyway and say,

”A SUPER 2018 TO Y'ALL!”

Damn PC nonsense Gordy. It's a loud Merry Xmas & Happy New Year from me to all.

Make sure the following is filled out correctly by the kids, and don't short cut the approach.

I was always working on Boxing Day, (which often involved travelling on Xmas Day) flying photographers over Sydney Harbour for the start of the Hobart yacht race. The good bits were the scenery, colour, action, and good-hearted banter on The Numbers, the bad bits were having to put up with Barnao trying to dominate the helicopter pack - the Helicopter Alpha Male.

Mary Xmas!

Happy Christmas and a safe Flying New Year to all PPruners from someone who, although not a great converser (Is that really a word? Probably not but then I am Cornish and we do things differently ) has been a PPruner for quite a few years!!

As we say in Cornwall

Nadelik Lowen ha Bledhen Nowyth Da!

Hi Ascend Charlie, I did quite a few Boxing day race starts also back around 2002-2008 flying flags and photographers etc. I was only a young buck back when Bananas was floating around but he used to frequent our base a lot back in the day and I always remember his little terrier that used run around his office at Mascot. He certainly was a character thats for sure...

I think there is a new self appointed Alpha male down there these days

Apologies for the slightly belated Merry Christmas wish and hopes for a Happy, Healthy and Safe New Year to all Ppruners.

Sorry to read about your illness John, wish you a speedy recovery with no after effects.

Seasons Greetings to all....hope the New Year sees you safe and prosperous.

I am enjoying this being Retired and free to go about all day with out tying my shoes....no need as I am only going to un-tie them in the evening! No sense wasting energy on needless endeavors.

There is fishing to be done out in front of the Cottage!
