...... to all our American contributors, and those who just live there and are taking advantage of what is a lovely non-commercial family holiday. It's what Xmas should be (personal political comment!)

Have a fantastic day gang.

Happy Thanks-its-Scratchy's-birthday-giving Day :-)

Mind you, it didn't really show much sense of gratitude to repay the decescendants of the American Indian who saved the Pilgrims by slaughtering them. Did you know that native had been to England before the Pilgrims arrived and learnt English?

It is the perfect holiday. All you have to do is eat and watch sports on television. No stress, no hassle. Just eat.

By the way, "...it's my birthday too, yeah...", although I expect I have a few more years on me than Scratchy.

Some virtual pumpkin pie with a candle in each slice to Scratchy and Southpaw!
