Santa Claus Gets His Beard Caught on a Rope, Is Rescued by the British Army
Santa Claus (alias Steve Chessell, British Army) was attempting to abseil from a skylight at the Broad Street Mall during a Christmas Lights switch-on ceremony when his beard got caught on the rope fifteen feet from the ground. He spent the next forty minutes hanging until fellow soldier Marc Hilton rescued him by clipping off his beard.

Besides: if he can fly with his rendeers, just cut the rope and see if that's true.

At least the Brits aren't afraid to celebrate Christmas in a mall. Gosh, we wouldn't want to offend the Muslims and atheists.

@oldglory The fucking Christians snuck in on Christmas anyway.
Jesus was apparently born in September and they (the christians) wanted in on the joyous occasion that was the Pagan festival of Winter Solstice.
Why can't the Bible get anything right and contradict itself too often?
This is a nice link, for a read and a think:-

@oldglory I'm an atheist & I'm not at all offended by christmas :)
It's only religious people that get offended by things, not atheists.

@iLikeMarmite That may be true over in the UK, but here, atheists are offended over anything related to public displays of Christmas

Sometimes a fucked up moment can really end well! Hat's off to the British military and of course to Santa claus as well (he might remember this) and I'll get that new phone I put on my list! LOL

Dear Santa,
I hope your are OK after you got stuck.
It was funny. I laughed.
Last year I asked for a bike, and you got me a skateboard instead.
I was a bit sad, but mum said maybe next Christmas.
So, you bring me my bike, or I'll shoot Rudolph between the fucking eyes as you try to leave.
Lots of Love, and Happy Christmas
Aussie.

Hey Santa claus you c***!
Where's me f****** bike?
I've unwrapped all this other junk and there's nothing that I like.
I wrote you a f****** letter and I come to see you twice
Ya worn out geriatric fart, you forgot me f****** bike.
If I wanted a pair of bloody thongs, I'd have bloody asked.
And this cowboy suit and ping pong set you can shove right up your arse!
You've stuffed me bloody order up
It's enough to make you spew
And I'm not the only one who's snakey
Me sisters dirty too!
