Nollaig Shona agus Athbhliain faoi Mhaise Daoibh!
“So this is Christmas…….”
well at least thats what John Lennon said but it doesn’t feel like it here. We’re off to Vilcabamba which will hopefully be really chilled out and hot, all very nice but I’d much rather be eating dried peas, turkey, cranberry and drinking shloer at my aunt sheenas. Ahhh, its a hard life…
I’ll try and make a few calls on Christmas day but by all accounts Vilcabamba is in the middle of nowhere so the chances of finding a phone aren’t all that high.
Anyway from Marianne and me, we hope Santa has been good (especially to Anna on her first Christmas) and that Radio Cracker hasn’t made yous all insane yet. We’ll be thinkin of you all hopin that you have a great day.
An alle in Deutschland (beinhaltet selbst die dicken Katzen 
) und an unsere österreichischen Freunde auf der Halbinsel - Fröhliche Weihnachten!

Ryan from biometric post: “Dont be slabberin ’bout my ma’s peas!”
Calm the jets sham!
Fact is I like my aunt sheenas peas, infact I like the whole thing. If I remember right you and your woman made a poor show last year, you eatin barely nothin but I ate the lot. (yeah thats a good point tell Gert not to be bringing any undesirable viruses from Holland this year)

Oh ho ho,
taking a pop at the unwell, a poor show indeed. A bout of gastroenteritis is a debilitating and unwelcome affliction as well u might know. Poking fun at the needy at christmaas is hardly spirited. Shame on you. Those poor sick children who cant defend themselves, little Tibetan children with one leg, TB, no eyes and a want for the warmth of mothers breast….
Anywho well see who eats all the peas this christmas!
PS How did you know Gert had genito-rectal Herpes?!

Ciaran & Marianne, am so glad to hear that you enjoyed christmas day. We missed you! All ok here. CJ, please get in contact once again with the dunclug number to tell us what your new mobile is! in the midst of such a muddled up time as xmas in DaPratos, we have, (sadly and rather rudely) mislaid your precious number. You must understand that i do not use exclamation marks lightly.
xx Oonagh.

Hi Ciaran, huh, had to fix your front door again, you owe me for it! A new lock plus all my very valuable time, so much for your 15 year guaranntee, i told you to keep the receipt! Anyway the house is secured again. Hope you had a nice christmas. Hope you stayed off the tequilla on the way. Phone us soon. That website you told us about: discount.co.uk are only 13p/minute to a mobile so let us know the number and we’ll give you a call. Take it easy, Harry.

Happy New Year to yees both! Christmas was pretty cool this year, very mellow and low-key, but good to get a nice week off to grow a beard and wear jammies during the afternoon. I was supposed to meet up with the Franzalino over Christmas, but the Black Arm struck in Portaferry, then I lost my feckin mobile so I don’t know if anyone else made it out. Next time Hoeritzaur, NEXT TIIIIIIME!
How long have youse got left now? Ciaran, I long for the scent of your musk, and ache to pat your silky hair. Give us your mobile number when you get it so I can insult your lack of beardiness via the power of mobiled communicatory.
