Breaking the law
I have been forced to hang my head in shame today.
Why? Because I, a lowly 17 year-old, have broken the law and consumed something which is illegal.
That’s right, we have just finished off the mince pies I made yesterday afternoon! And it was Oliver Cromwell who made the consumption of mince pies on Christmas Day illegal in the 17th Century.
This law, like many other ridiculous laws, has never been repealed…

Well, just for the record, I have saved my mince pie for tomorrow — probably just over an hour from now, at a minute past midnight(!)
I also take great care to affix postage stamps the correct way up, and I can state without fear of contradiction from anyone that I have never entered the Houses of Parliament while wearing a suit of armour…
Damn. I was thinking you’d gone and murdered someone. Never mind, I’ll get you in prision yet. (Although, due to overcrowding, maybe not.)
Right, I know I’ve already commented, but it says “This entry was posted by Alan Collins on Tuesday, December 25th, 2007 at 6:30 pm”.
What?!? You were on here on Christmas Day?!?!?!?
Nope, I had better things to do.
All posts from Christmas Day had been set up to post at specific times throughout.
In fact, if I had genuinely posted this after eating my delicious mince pies (I am eating one now, after making another batch yesterday for guests), then the time of the post would have been more like 7.30 pm.
Phew. I take it you didn’t get a new laptop then?!?
Nope, and nor was I expecting one. I am under no illusions as to what I may expect for my birthday next week, either.
It has been made clear to me, over and over, that the only way I am going to get a new laptop is by buying one myself.
And I have not got the money to do that!
How much would it cost? I have an idea brewing…
The simple answer to that questions is a lot, also known as too much!
Okay, I am now writing to you separately on this.
