It's the most wonderful time of the year

It's that time again - time to pull out the Christmas decorations from whatever mouldy corner they've been hiding in, dust them off and get them set up. A few raggedy bits of tinsel, the odd star and a genetically modified fairy (green hair, bleeding heart and stigmata - my sister's doing a couple of years back) Time to have fun with fairy lights! Fist try: last years lights, string of 20, clear white. A quick test shows they're still working. Put them on the tree - nothing. Take them off - nothing. Check all the bulbs - nothing. OK, so I dig out an older set of lights - 40-60 multicoloured with 4 different settings - a bit much for a 3 foot fake tree., so I decide to pull a bulb out to test the other set. What I get is just the bulb - the glass bit - without the plastic mounting, now decidedly broken. Great, so now I have two broken sets of fairy lights and no [expletive deleted] clue where the [expletive deleted] spare bulbs are - assuming there ever were any. [long string of expletives deleted]

Go to Woolworth's and buy a third set. (And set yourself up for even more fun next year...)

Unfortunately, I'm not going to have time to get over to Cowley. However, I'm sure the "fell of the back of a lorry, guv" shop next to the office will rice to the occasion.
