Now that there are only 21 more days 'til Christmas, I thought it was about time to send out my annual Kirby Family Christmas Card to wish to all my friends and colleagues on Podiatry Arena a very Merry Christmas. :santa::santa2:

For those who have never met me, I'm the old guy on the right in the lumberjack shirt.

:santa2:Hopefully others will be able to send us their holiday photos also on this thread.:santa:

 

A fine family Kevin! And As nice as the Christmas logo is Craig, I can't wait for the Arena ettes latest!

Here's my little folk at the Reindeer Sanctury in Bethersdon, the BEST place to go see santa south of lapland!







Always nice to dust off the Christmas Smilies!:santa:

And God bless us, Every one.

Finally got the Arena'ettes to Santa:

 

Not sure my portrait collection would be well received on Arena so a winter scene from Glencoe will have to suffice. Season's greetings to one and all.

 

Hi all :santa2:

I thought people may enjoy visitig the Portable North Pole

Merry Christmas everyone.

Just got home from the last of Christmas Shopping at about 3pm this is what our placed looked like. Sorry about the Quality from the mobile, but you get the idea. Lots of snow

 

Seasonal wishes

Dear all,

Just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everybody on the forum for posting their enlightening, informative, instructive, threads/posts.
Especially the big and not so big names on the forum who keep things running behind the scenes and make sure this is an information resource to be valued by those such as myself seeking out advice and opportunity to learn.

This will be my last post of 2009 and my last post wearing the flag of England because as of the new year I am taking up a new post in the sunnier climate of Victoria, so for now farewell.

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Once again thank you to all who have helped, infomed, enlightened and educated me over the past twelve months.

Merry Christmas.

Here's Tiger and me - OK, I admit it - I slept with him!!!!!!!!! lol

Merry Christmas from the latest addition to the Randall family.. :santa2:

We found him last night.. half starved to death and my wife took pity on him... :empathy:

We called him Jesus (Spanish pronunciation)

 

Aww cute....got my twins from a well known Pod supplier;

 

This was taken seconds before my daughter fell through the ice and into the water up to her waist. Her 3 brothers were quick to help her for once!






Thank you everyone for the abundance of great posts this year on PodA.

Cheers,:drinks

My four year old daughter asked me what I wanted for Christmas today. My answer was "peace on earth". She thought for a while and said: "that's not a real present, Daddy" to which I replied in pantomime style "Oh yes it is!"

Here she is, ignoring the laws of physics as per usual.


Merry Christmas, and peace be with you all.

U2- Peace On Earth

Heaven on Earth
We need it now
I'm sick of all of this
Hanging around
Sick of sorrow
Sick of pain
Sick of hearing again and again
That there's gonna be
Peace on Earth

Where I grew up
There weren't many trees
Where there was we'd tear them down
And use them on our enemies
They say that what you mock
Will surely overtake you
And you become a monster
So the monster will not break you

And it's already gone too far
Who said that if you go in hard
You won't get hurt

Jesus could you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on Earth
Tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth
No whos or whys
No-one cries like a mother cries
For peace on Earth
She never got to say goodbye
To see the color in his eyes
Now he's in the dirt
That's peace on Earth

They're reading names out over the radio
All the folks the rest of us won't get to know
Sean and Julia, Gareth, Anne and Breda
Their lives are bigger, than any big idea

Jesus can you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on Earth
To tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth

Jesus this song you wrote
The words are sticking in my throat
Peace on Earth
Hear it every Christmas time
But hope and history won't rhyme
So what's it worth?
This peace on Earth

Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth

 

A friend sent me this last minute Christmas cake recipe.

I thought it would be good to share



Christmas Cake recipe!! :santa:

Ingredients:

* 2 cups flour
* 1 stick butter
* 1 cup of water
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 1 cup of sugar
* 1 tsp salt
* 1 cup of brown sugar
* Lemon juice
* 4 large eggs

* Nuts
* 1 bottle wine
* 2 cups of dried fruit

Sample the wine to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the wine
again. To be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and
drink. Repeat. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a
large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar.. Beat again. At this point
it's best to make sure the wine is still OK. Try another cup... Just
in case. Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 eggs and add to the bowl
and chuck in the cup of dried fruit.

Pick the frigging fruit up off floor. Mix on the turner.. If the fried
druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver.
Sample the wine to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt.
Or something. Check the wine. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your
nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or some fink. Whatever you
can find. Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not
to fall over. Don't forget to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the
bowl through the window. Finish the wine and wipe counter with the
cat.

Bingle Jells!

PS. Don't bake & drive. Keep safe

 

hey Simon:
THAT Cheered me up!!

 

Mandy:

My wife and I both got a good chuckle from your Christmas recipe. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

 

Hey Steve, I watch the news each day here as they tally the body count for Afghanistan, it cheers me up no end as I watch local boys being buried . I see that the past and present leaders of my country are "in court" or due to be "in court" (we'll happily put alleged NAZI pensioners on trial, but when it comes to the current government we have to wait until after the election) regarding the war in Iraq. This morning I was awoken with the news that terrorists have now worked out that they can use their bladders / anuses (take your pick) to store liquid explosives on planes.......:bang: (bang- unfortunately literally) Meanwhile the NHS is on it's knees and I see that the arms industry is booming (unfortunately literally)....."And I can see those fighter planes, I can see those fighter planes." Bullet the Blue Sky.

So what's it worth?
Peace on earth.:morning:

Stay safe, and don't go changing, Steve. I love you as you are. Go break the laws of physics.. It's the way forward.

 

And I can see those catheters, and I can see those colostomy bags...

Cheer up Spooner, it's Christmas.

 

Shame Goerge and the poodle aren't still in charge - you can just hear the refrain

 

Hi Simon:
"Go break the laws of physics........"
Unfortunately the only time I seem to break the laws of physics is on the green when a putt breaks the opposite direction that it's suppose to.

To a man who feels, life's a tragedy - to one who thinks, life's a comedy.
