A Taliban Christmas

Some really good news - the Afghanistan Taliban has condemned the attack on the school in Pakistan; this will bring some good cheer for their families at this time of year. Maybe they'll put mini coffins underneath their Christmas trees. Seriously though: that part of the world is feudal and this is just one gang lambasting another one, and when the oil's gone we won't give a damn. Bring it on.

   They're discussing on The Wright Stuff, would you have an alcohol free Christmas if a recovering alcoholic was coming for dinner? No! Sod 'em. I want to watch them relapse which would make for an interesting meal as they throw up over your gran. As a recovering alcoholic who now has the occasional drink, if you're that freaked out by booze STAY IN! Be miserable and lonely - like me. And you can relapse and no one will know. Only you.
