With everyone dashing around it was time for two hours to chill tonight. We had six people in the chatroom tonight keeping me company. As we had a special show for the period heading towards Christmas, we dispensed with the usual theme tune. We had some seasonal news stories. The family that have put up the same artificial Christmas tree for 85 years. The hard hat and riding boots needing to be worn by Mary for the Nativity play taking place around the streets of Neath. A shop in Manchester giving away a donor kebab with every fridge.The passenger who went to sleep on a plane to find that when he woke up it was in darkness and he had been missed by the staff. The lost dog of nine years returned to her owners in time for Christmas thanks to being chipped.
