Got back from yet another night of drinkies and chatter so tired I couldn't watch the United game and went straight to bed. We have some more people coming round at midday, very good friends, but I'm over it all.

I'm already planning my island in my mind and deciding what kind of unique laws I will establish. No dogs will be one, sorry to all those dog lovers. There will be anti noise laws, and I will outlaw fast cars, hot air hand dryers, looking stupid and generally behaving like a dick.

We'll overlook the last two so you can retain residency, Malc. After all, it's your island!

Well, over on this side of the world, there are still two hours to go but I'm far too excited to sleep. I hope you guys are having a great Christmas. Working our way West, I know that we have a lot of friends in India so I wish you all a peaceful and happy year. Here in the U.K., Merry Christmas tomorrow. I'm now guessing about time zones, but have a great Christmas in nine hours, Diane, and in eight hours, Calypso. Health and happiness to you all.

I just checked the stats for visitors, Roger, and was able to see a world map showing locations of recent visitors. Most from the UK, obviously, but then many more from around Europe. Quite a few in the USA, Canada, and also a few from India, and Australia. One from Singapore, and another from Beijing. One each from Qatar, Thailand, and South Korea. It seems we have yet to make any impression in Africa and Russia.

So, no one from the North Pole??

That's interesting, Peeps. I think you'll have to arm yourself with mugs and t-shirts when you head East in June.

The sale of Beau Peep merchandise will of course be permitted on McGookin Island, but I wondered if any of you have particular laws you would like to see enacted? I will give them all due consideration and announce on this forum whether they have made it into the statutes. If any are particularly well thought-out or imaginative, I will of course take full credit for them.

I'd like to offer all the Beau Peep Forum regulars right of residency on the Island, but remember No Dogs.

 Diane, if you try to sneak one in, I'll know it. I'm like the child catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

When you say "dogs"...?
I apologise, in advance.

...I mean dogs woof woof.


All right, I can see that doesn't really clarify matters. I mean canine quadrupeds.

Here's the odd thing. I like dogs, I just don't keep any. Neither do I want to hear the barking of other peoples dogs. Some of my dearest friends have dogs, too, and they always come to MY chair (the dogs) and lie down. I don't know why.

I can't stand cats. However, if you don't feed the slinky little buggers they do keep the mice and rats down. No birds will be allowed to be kept in cages either. Nor aviaries. Birds should be free to fly.
People will be forced to stand to the left on escalators on pain of death. No child will be called Corey or Courtney, no one will have made-up names like Taneesha, and everyone's name will be spelled properly. No Kaytlyns, no Micheals, no Dayvids, and anyone giving their child a joke name, like Warwick Hunt will be fired from a cannon into the sea. If they live, make it back to shore and still think it's funny, they will be fired again.

I'm warming to this. I think I may be a natural despot.

You could change your name to Des Pot.

I wonder how Tarquin Thunderthighs III feels about your "No made-up names" policy...

That's another thing - no Aloysious Crumbfumbler IV-type names. Only the Yanks feel an impending need to tell you that they are the umpteenth Darcy Dipwad in their family.

Drop the digits, Tarquin. They make your name look ridiculous.

Yes, it's not nice to make unseemly gestures with those digits, Tarks.

I mean there's no need for a III after Thunderthighs, a distinguished and ancient name in itself.

There was a Thunderthighs at Waterloo. She was servicing the French, but we shouldn't hold that against her.

Malc - don't worry I won't be trying to sneak onto your island with or without my dogs. Quite frankly, I would rather be holed up in a farty spare bedroom with Mince paging over holiday brochures of Greece.

Great, great, great, great, great Aunt Theodosia (and she truly was). Greased the rigging of many a French frigate. I won't hear a bad word!
