Best of wishes, mate. When I became separated from my wife, and then divorced, I thought my world had ended. It floored me. Floored me for a good two years. But I survived it, and once I got up off t

DC I think it has more to do with the Greek/Roman tradition of the sun god, Sol Invictus and the winter solstice occurring around December 25. The celebration of Sol Invictus was the 25th and celebrated the rebirth of the sun and was co-opted by the Christians as the birth date for JC in the 4th century I believe but happy to be corrected!

that may well be for the italians, but not the northern europeans

the winter solstice was celebrated differently by different pagan cultures

xmas just conveniently usurped them all

...........and if scores were level late in a game the aforementioned fence-sitter would exclaim : " I tipped this , Butch " .

I thought it was a rip-off of the Jewish festival of Hannukah which has all the essential ingredients like candles, chocolate and commencing on the 25th day of the month.

Whatever... a Merry Christmas and a Happy Hannukah to all.

weren't many jews in jutland at that time ldvc despite the similarity in the name

anyway happy winter solstice (or should that be summer?) and yuletide to all good anglo saxons

happy alban arthan to all my fellow celts

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
