ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND MY WIFE DEBBIE ,I WOULD LIKE TO WISH ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE BSS A MERRY XMAS
AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. REGARDS DEREK.

[Danny Mitchell]

All the Best to you and yours, Derek. It was great to hear and meet you earlier in the year

[Ken Byng]

And to you and yours Derek.

At this time of the year it’s difficult to know what to say without offending someone.
So I’ve checked with my legal adviser and on his advice I wish to say the following to all friends and colleagues.
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practised with the most enjoyable traditions of religious persuasion or secular practices of your choice with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practise religious or secular traditions at all.

I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2017, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make our country great (not to imply that Great Britain is necessarily greater than any other country) and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.

By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms:
This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.

i prefer it when you offend, John. (Just sayin'.)

[Uncle Roy]

Blimey JD what did you swallow for breakfast.
Happy Christmas everyone that's all I can say.

Merry Christmas everyone
Thanks for a very enjoyable year back in the steel guitar fraternity.
Is it my eyesight or has my brain malfunctioned again in reading J D's comment
" I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2017, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make our country great (not to imply that Great Britain is necessarily greater than any other country) and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee. "
When trying to undestand all the fancy words and translate them from J D's version of the " English language " into the Scots vernacular that I can understand, it was the date that I couldn' get my head round.
Do you wish us all a "GUID" New Year for the remaining days of 2017 ? Or is it that the forthcoming year we anticipate next week in the new calendar for 2018 is " No worth bothering about "?
Either way, all the very best for the festive season including the new year from "Bonnie Scotland"

Asleep at the steel.
