Further, I wish you a financially successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2007, but with due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures or sects, and having regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith, choice of computer platform or sexual preference of the wishee.

If this satirical piece contained fewer echoes of reality I might be tempted to laugh but this is how our world is becoming - hidebound and apologetic, looking over your shoulder, afraid to act. Happy Xmas Jennyta and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your Boxing Day meal.

Thanks, Michelle, best wishes to you too.
YP sadly you are right, but have a merry Christmas and a happy non-pc new year anyway. :)
