It's the 21st December. The shortest day of the year. The world is turning again in our favour and the days will slowly start to get longer from tomorrow, so keep your pecker up! This is why they made Christmas now. They hi-jacked an ancient pagan festival of rebirth, the old astronomers knew at this time the earth's tilt started to bring us a wee bit more sunshine each day from now on 'til the 21st June when it starts to get darker again! Blox! You don't get stuff like this on other forums eh?
