..... just what were they thinking of when sending out this Xmas card! shock

Greetings

It's just so awful.

I'm not very photogenic and usually hate any pics of myself, especially taken unawares, and I know the press have always delighted in printing unflattering pics of Cherie but for goodness sake, I presume they had control of what went out in their name.

If Cherie's right hand were not on TB's chest I'd say that she was squeezing his balls!

Well I like Nick and Miriam's card, despite what has been said in a few circles about it.

It is taking a rise out of the traditional 'here we are playing happy couple/happy family' card sent out by politicians and others.

Love it, thanks Nick and Miz. I shall put yours on the mantelpiece.

Show off! tchgrin

And what's more, you've highlighted (to me) my misspelling of mantelpiece...shock

I wasn't sure if I got it right, didn't notice your misspelling.

Of course, pride of place is given to the ones from HM, Charles and Mil, Kate and Will, Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all ....

Oh, I love that one I get every year from Old Uncle Tom - isn't he ageing well? (Probably because it's been the same card since 1970...tchgrin)

Is it the same old Tom who has just been on the telly? You know the one, looks a bit like Michael Palin but he's about 120.

Back to Cherie and Tone:

I think it is a spoof, someone has been sending out a photo of their Madame Tussaud wax models and pretending the Christmas cards are really from the Blairs.

That's the bloke! Knew I'd seen him somewhere before - blimey I think we should dispose of those cards before we get visited by a jealous Ayah...tchshock
