Yikes! Said my daughter this morning. I thought the gentle art of saying Yikes had died out. How pleasant to be mistaken. Now all I need is for someone to say Zounds! in my presence.
Meanwhile... you've seen the BAS christmas e-card, lightly modified; the CSR one is here.
Coming at some point when I have a spare moment... a round-up of my betting position in case I've forgotten anyone. And a pointer to a blog ranking thingy of unknown quality in which I'm #32. 32? Zounds!

I'm always surprised at the looks I get when I use the expressions "Crikey!" or "Good Heavens!".
I got them form my Grandad, who was an ex-naval guy - and they've always been "tongue in cheek" rather than quaint...

Wait till you hear:
as a result of your kids being in a performance of 'A Christmas Carol'. This, believe it or not, is a quote from an excited Scrooge reliving his childhood!
