There, the PC horseshit is out of the way...

Merry Christmas from the Rotters to you all on MLU. Take some time to celebrate Christmas in the company of your family and good friends.

Hammond Rotter's Wish List:

Bob - Bob has been a real good boy this year - providing parking space, work areas, transport and a great sense of humour. Since he was so good, he deserves a tractor that starts on the coldest day in winter, fewer racoons in the summer, and smaller feet so he can fit them inside his truck;

Grant - When he is not helping others at the barn, he has quietly become the "King of Manuals" over the past year, so he deserves original copies of every CMP manual produced so that they can be reproduced (for us);

Guy - Guy has not yet succumed to the CMP bug, and until he does, he will only get a list of new jokes and some new "war-stories";

Clive - Clive has it all, so one lump of coal it is; and

Meself - I've been a gluttonous brat, snapping up any available HUP! I've also been pushy at the barn insisting my fellow Rotters clean up after themselves and keep the barn in some kind of order. A lump of coal would go into Lucifer, so Santa, save it for Clive. Besides, I have a great and understanding wife and a boy who likes "army trucks".

Here's to more of the same fun in the New Year!
