It must be Christmas
*sigh* Saw the first Christmas advert on TV last night. WH Smith, what is wrong with you? It’s bloody October.
Now that the ads are going out, it’s time to guess when the first Christmas decorations will appear. This is actually usually quite a treat - there seems to be some competition amongst neighbours in one particular road, so the decorations get more impressive year after year.
The road has about 300 houses on it, and I reckon the first decorations will be up November 10. You are welcome to make your own predictions, and the closest guess will win my eternal respect (cash value 0.0000001p).

Were you aware that there appears to be a duck over on the left?

That’s odd. Yesterday it was a picture of an egg.
