Merry Christmas

[Masetek]

I know it's a little premature, but I'm not going to be online for the next 5 days.

So to all the WP crew, whatever you do at christmas time, wherever you are in the world have a good one!

Let's hope we all have a profitable new year!

:D

Merry Christmas to everyone too!

And a very happy (profitable) new year :)

Merry Christmas, fellow publishers :cool: I hope 2006 is a good year for you all (but mostly for me;)).

[Todd W]

Happy Christmas and Merry New Year to you all :D

[Blue Cat Buxton]

Indeed - Many Christmas good wishes to you all

[James]

Merry Christmas one and all.

Oh, and same as Mark said, but changed to me rather than him ;)

[MarkB]

How dare you :p

[Chris]

Feliz Navida

[Doug]

Merry Christmas to all.

Just to cover everything....

Happy Christmahanukwanzika.

[Westech]

You left out Festivus, you insensitive clod! ;)


Merry Christmas, everyone!

[Chris]

Next up, airing of greivances.

[moonshield]

^ hahaha.

and then the feats of strengh.


Merry Christmas everyone.

[chromate]

Have a good one people! I wonder where we'll be this time next year... :) 2006 should be great.

[Mike]

Yeah, Merry Christmas everyone :)

[James]

Right! Forgot that December 23rd is Festivus!

Happy Festivus, one and all. We best get the lineup of Feats of Strength figured out. I'm assuming it'll start with Chris and Westech, and once Chris has crushed Westech with his iron fist, it'll be Chris vs. Emancipator, and so one.

[AndyH]

I started my christmas off in a police cell...

[James]

Haha, do go on!

[AndyH]

Security guards asked me to leave so I walked out (not resisting) and then asked why. Police came over and I asked again infront of the them and then they threw me into a patty-wagon.

Left in there for a few hours (summer here, jeans on) where it was really hard to breathe. Then taken to a police station 30 min drive away -- there are 2 stations in between where I was and which one they took me to. The club is a 200m walk from my apartment.

Anyhow, slept there for not sure how long, my watch and everything was taken off me. They wake me up at around 3am I guess and let me go. So then I had to pay for a taxi home - $35. Arrived home at 4am.

Rewind a bit .. while in the patty-wagon I was using my phone, a police officer came in with 2 behind him and tried to grab it, which I tried to hold onto so he pulled me out and then with the help of the other two threw me back in on my head with my arms behind my back and closed the door. That bit is a bit hard to explain without a diagram, but it happened so fast my legs were in the air against the door making an arc of my body so bad that my lower back still hurts two days since and I couldn't breathe at the time and had to wriggle up.

I could go into more details but can't be bothered :p. I'm going to talk to a lawyer as soon as I can. Wrong time of the year for that though. I also realize it is my word against theirs -- or a few who will also lie so unless I want to waste alot of money there isn't much point. ;) Just as a quick figure, a barrister costs $1,000 just to prepare your statement and costs around $3,000 a day.

There seems to be a bit missing about why they police nabbed you in the first place :confused: Were you rotten drunk or something?

[AndyH]

The form says not following a "move on" direction.

[James]

If that isn't reason enough for brute force, then I don't know what is!
You're lucky they didn't whip out a chainsaw for such a haneous act (yes, it is a standard practice for police to carry chainsaws *looks around nervously*).

[Mike]

I thought police in our country were bad...
