Merry Christmas, Humans!

Enjoy It - While You Can ...
     Best wishes to all Hom. Sap. reading this.  Make the most of Christmas 2013 because that invasion fleet is on the way - they finished their rest-stop at Alpha Centauri yesterday and are now on the move.  Lazy buggers, a three-month stopover "to retune the FTL drives" - more likely a binge in the fleshpots of AC Prime.

"Knock Knock"  "Who's there?" "A GIANT ALIEN INVASION FLEET!"  - hilarious, eh?

Today Conrad Defeated The Evil Sofa-Bed
     It was a mighty struggle, but mutually-opposed digits and metal tools prevailed over wood and staples.

Where the vile monster nested, now mercifully Hydabed free

I know, I know, I should have taken a "Before" photo.  Just hang on -

Rather like this, in green

Here's your "After" photo:

The monster's gutted carcass

An Aside
     More correctly, an inside.  Cast your glazzies over this:

No it's not a chamber-pot

There you go, a virtual fire in a real fireplace.  It does really help the living room look extra-specially cosy.

And Finally -
     Ahead of the Doctor Who special tomorrow, some clever Scots have come up with an underlying face for the Doctor, a facial base that every other regeneration is a palimpsest* of.  More details at Auntie:

Now I have to go drink mulled wine and watch that virtual fire.

* Yes it's a real word and no!  I shan't explain it.  Maybe tomorrow.
