Hahahahahahaha!!!! Definetely a 'Fast Show' remark!

Hi guys, I bet few of us remember or know there was a predecessor to the world famous Monty Python's Flying Circus. It was aired as a child orientated TV show called 'Do not adjust your set', and in that time span, Terry Gilliam made an animated Christmas card i would like to share. It depicts my idea of the holiday season! Cheers all!

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, HE LIVED ALL ALONE, IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF PLASTER AND STONE. I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE, AND TO SEE JUST WHO IN THIS HOME DID LIVE. I LOOKED ALL ABOUT, A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE, NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS, NOT EVEN A TREE. NO STOCKING BY MANTLE, JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND, ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES OF FAR DISTANT LANDS. WITH MEDALS AND BADGES, AWARDS OF ALL KINDS, A SOBER THOUGHT CAME THROUGH MY MIND. FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT, IT WAS DARK AND DREARY, I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER, ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY. THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING, SILENT, ALONE, CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME. THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE, THE ROOM IN SUCH DISORDER, NOT HOW I PICTURED A SOLDIER. WAS THIS THE HERO OF WHOM I'D JUST READ? CURLED UP ON A PONCHO, THE FLOOR FOR A BED? I REALIZED THE FAMILIES THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT, OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT. SOON ROUND THE WORLD, THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY, AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY. THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR, BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS, LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE. I COULDN'T HELP WONDER HOW MANY LAY ALONE, ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME. THE VERY THOUGHT BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE, I DROPPED TO MY KNEES AND STARTED TO CRY. THE SOLDIER AWAKENED AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE, "SANTA DON'T CRY, THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE; I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM, I DON'T ASK FOR MORE, MY LIFE IS MY GOD, MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS." THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP, I COULDN'T CONTROL IT, I CONTINUED TO WEEP. I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS, SO SILENT AND STILL AND WE BOTH SHIVERED FROM THE COLD NIGHT'S CHILL. I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE ON THAT COLD, DARK, NIGHT, THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR SO WILLING TO FIGHT. THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER, WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE, WHISPERED, "CARRY ON SANTA, IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE."

I am feeling more sympathy for the aliens in Independence Day, claiming we are a galactic pest that should be exterminated. But the easy part of it is, we already are experts in wiping out ourselves AND everything else...

I quote Unlucky Alf from the nineties 'Fast Show'...... Oh bugger!

And back to screenshots!

Eversince Coca Cola shaped Christmas as it is nowadays, it is i.m.ho. a decadent commercial party. But for the sake of my little boy, I will try to enjoy or at least pretend to. Well, we here in Yurp are going the USA way.... al holidays commercially leeched! -Saint Nicholas, now more and more pressed away to make room for that fat dude in his sleigh... -All Hallowes Eve and Saint Martin, the light parades pushed aside to make room for the dress-up and candy begging Halloween... -Valentine's Day. Just something Hallmark is pushing.... I will surprise my wife with a flower or card and declare my love any day of the year! So.... my answer to the question is a definete 'NO!'

Holy mother of Chuck!

Just buccing around a bit.

Yeah, playing FPS is a tough cookie when you have family responsibilities! I know, I try to finish MW3, BF3 and LA Noire at the same time....

The old F-80 model, still a fun little plane.
