Yup, 'my' Champs have had their yearly makeover for Consumermas; bright lights, bright eyes and nice shiny credit cards are breaking out all over the place *whoo hoo*

Even the weather has become most unusually seasonal, with temperatures hovering between "ooh it's a bit chilly round the gills" and "phouaaaaaar, it's so bollocking cold out there, i must invest in a pair of thermolactyl undies"

Someone told me today that they'd heard that we're supposed to 'hit' minus five in Paris next week *deep joy* which will be kinda nice, y'know, what with rumbles and what not of more strike action on the rail service *double deep joy*
