As Trip enjoyed his rum and white, there was a sudden thud on the roof.." Too early for Santa" he thought as he walked outside to see what had happened. There on the roof was the barmaid wrestling with the pub satellite dish.. Trip had seen Fiddler on the Roof before but this was a whole different story..." Come down before you fall down" Trip shouted up at her.
When she was safely down, Trip put the ladder back in the cellar and noticed the panto horse slumped in the corner with a bottle of gin beside him...." Every year around this time I wish was a reindeer" he mumbled before falling asleep...

Shen's head which glistened in the half light in the bar..............

[veggiechicken]

Thanks Shen, you can put your hat back on now, the one you had from Santa.........

[Sheneval]
