I was on my way back from chucking a message in a potato out from the dining car as we were passing the last station to order more axle grease when I saw you overbalance and nearly go base over apex out the window.

My apologies but the only way I could stop you was by grabbing your big, fat, hairy ...
pony tail and dragging you back in. That probably explains why your scalp is sore this morning.

By the way, who was the furtive couple that got off when we stopped at Gretna Green?

I thought I was seeing double
No idea who they were. This is a mystery.
Maybe the others know. I love a mystery.

I can only think it was Nom, as he seems to have disappeared. But what Tabby and I would like to know is, who was he with???

Don't tell me he has a third lady in tow as well now!!

Re: A Christmas Story

Right, I've sorted the 'Hot Pot' hotel manager out, and he said we need only spend one night in the stable as the other party are leaving in the morning.

What's more, he was so ashamed and grovelling at his error, he offered to throw in 2 extra nights for free, plus a free meal and bottle of wine for us all tomorrow night as a welcome gift. (They've got a cabaret on tomorrow too).

I said thankyou, and I thought we would all accept.
So now I am off to bag me spot among the donkeys, and we'll keep each other warm tonight. Anyone doesn't want to will have to say quickly.

You won't catch me sleeping in a stable again. I slept in one when I was born and stuffed into in a makeshift cot made out of some cattle's feeding basket. A manger I think it was called. Was kept awake half the bloody night by three old blokes trailing in just after midnight, one of them stinking of some kind of cheap perfume, and the constant noise of sheep bleating in the distance.

I was very careful with them. I even taped up my toe nails to stop them poking through. I fancy blue ones next. Anyone got any?

Aha. There you are Judd. Are you sleeping in the stable or in the train? I have nabbed a few hay bales if you want one, they smell divine, like summer grass.

Anyone else want a nice hay bale, but don't spill your Sloe Gin on it cos it's the donkeys winter supper.

Just looked outside, and it's snowing again. The hotel looks pretty though. Hope it's not haunted.

Re: A Christmas Story

I shall be sleeping in the engine's cab next to the boiler. I've got me hammock swung up between two poles and all I need do now is shove a bit more coal on the fire. Snug? You've no idea.
