Mac's Xmas Website 2009

I have an important announcement about Mac's Christmas Website.

This year - there will be no Christmas Website.

In a time of recession, when our Country faces hardship and debt on a previously unimaginable scale, while the world faces imminent destruction from global warming and when we ourselves are in the grim depths of winter, not to mention that Terry Wogan has stopped presenting the breakfast programme - it is no time for this sort of frivolity. 

I will, therefore, not be publishing a Christmas Webpage.

This means that there will be no jolly banter.

Nor will I send you to the pictures which I would have put on a Christmas Website - if I had had one.   (All of which, I might add, appear to involve drinking alcohol, an entirely inappropriate form of behaviour for grown adults to be involved in.)  Please do not look at them.  I only include them here so that I can tell you that I will not be showing them to you. 

Finally, I must make it very clear that I will not be pointing you at the sort of depraved video below.  The very idea that people will start watching "Shawn the Sheep" videos is abhorrent to me.  To think that any stressed, anxiety ridden, insomniac adults with an  inability to concentrate on anything for more than 10 minutes would be able to watch this sort of thing in preference to a 2 hour film of explosions, loud noises  and flashing lights is plainly nonsense. 

My only hope is that none of you will be induced to go to the Iplayer website and download the latest programmes.  I shudder at the thought that some might even put the current series of 10 minute programmes on record and series link.  Such an outcome would be morally reprehensible.

So, there you have it.

I will not be wishing anyone Happy Christmas!  I would be delighted if only I could.  However this is not possible.  If I was going to publish a Christmas Website I would be the first to send you seasons greetings - but as I'm not - I really don't see how I can.  As you will appreciate, my hands are tied.
