'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the Forum
Not a body was posting,
No chance of a quorum

The crosswords were tackled
By the solvers with care,
Anyone struggling
Hoped Mamya was there

The pedants were nestled
All snug in their beds
While visions of bosuns
Danced in their heads...

…

If you're feeling at all poetic, feel free to join in.

It's not pedant-related, particularly, but I'm watching the Varsity Rugby match, and am reminded of one of my favourite "poems":

The rain it rains upon the just
And on the unjust fellah
But more it rains upon the just
The unjust has the just's umbrella....

Thanks, ChrisE - that's a delightful addition to this, our culture slot!

They told him the job just couldn't be done, and if he tried he would certainly rue it. So he tackled that job that couldn't be done, and he couldn't *#@$*# well do it!

Hi bernie!
A long time since I've seen your name here, I think. How are you?

Hi Chris, I'm fine thanks. I still look in regularly, but it doesn't seem as busy as it used to be. Hope you are well. Merry Christmas.

And to you, bernie.
A bit housebound at the moment, recovering from hernia-repair surgery. All seems to be going well!

Jingle Bells, Boris smells,
Jacob ran away
Oh what fun it is to bide
With Brexit every day.

Hi, Bernie. Nice to see you again. I'm not keen on your poem - sorry!

I met a man
Who had a plan
Name of Boris
Friend of Doris
Fooled us all
Broke Red Wall
Got it done
Wasn't fun
Took us under
Sorry Grunger

Thanks. I like terse verse!
