                      A Merry Christmas to you too Melissa and all who make the site possible.

                      Suggest you don’t try preparing for government if you have drunk more than eight units in two hours.

                                                Psi: A little Christmas prezzie for you,
                                                Twas some time in the morning when the gas man came to call.

                                                  
                                                  The Gas Man Cometh
                                                  

                                                -
                                                Written,( and originally performed), by Michael Flanders and Donald Swann.

                                                'Twas on a Monday morning the gasman came to call.
                                                The gas tap wouldn't turn - I wasn't getting gas at all.
                                                He tore out all the skirting boards to try and find the main
                                                And I had to call a carpenter to put them back again.
                                                Oh, it all makes work for the working man to do.
                                                'Twas on a Tuesday morning the carpenter came round.
                                                He hammered and he chiselled and he said:
                                                "Look what I've found: your joists are full of dry rot
                                                But I'll put them all to rights".
                                                Then he nailed right through a cable and out went all the lights!
                                                Oh, it all makes work for the working man to do.
                                                'Twas on a Wednesday morning the electrician came.
                                                He called me Mr. Sanderson, which isn't quite the name.
                                                He couldn't reach the fuse box without standing on the bin
                                                And his foot went through a window so I called the glazier in.
                                                Oh, it all makes work for the working man to do.
                                                'Twas on a Thursday morning the glazier came round
                                                With his blowtorch and his putty and his merry glazier's song.
                                                He put another pane in - it took no time at all
                                                But I had to get a painter in to come and paint the wall.
                                                Oh, it all makes work for the working man to do.
                                                'Twas on a Friday morning the painter made a start.
                                                With undercoats and overcoats he painted every part:
                                                Every nook and every cranny - but I found when he was gone
                                                He'd painted over the gas tap and I couldn't turn it on!
                                                Oh, it all makes work for the working man to do.
                                                On Saturday and Sunday they do no work at all; ( it is Christmas after all)
                                                So 'twas on a Monday morning that the gasman came to call...

                                                                  Sadly, this means i will have to cross them off my christmas card list.

                                                                  I feel sorry for the poor already-overstretched court and prison services who will have to enforce the new police state.

                                                                  As i have no intention of funding such an abomination, i vow to pay no more taxes as my new years resolution. If the government is just going to abuse me for paying them, i may as well cost them money instead.

                                                                  Boris, i’ll see you when they lock you up for not having your ID card (or eating it, whichever). (an arrestable offence now)

It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher.
