Great stuff, loved the dive back into the world again. " my dog ate 1.7 kilograms of hand-made chocolate brownie, and then I got a flat tire taking him to the vet)..." have to ask did you desecrate a shrine recently?

Merry Christmas JB. Thanks for keeping me semi sane among the madness. You certainly have a way of interpreting and distilling the wild and crazy shit going on in politics and beyond. Love your work. I’ll be toasting you with a very very large Macallan this holiday season.

Enjoyed this so much I liked it on both sites.

I hope the doggo is recovering from the choc binge.

I hope the brownies weren't infused with special xmas relaxants. That would've been an extra bummer, on top of vet bills and flat tyres.

Here's wishing you a merry Merry and a better next year - full of amusing, exciting adventures (of the written variety, but, yeah, real life ones, too).

Nice change from the usual Christmas slop JB. Sorry to see that with your dog, what a day. Hope they're okay. All the best for the Holidays and the New Year. Thanks for for another year of ASB fun!

Gawd, I adore Dave! Listened to everything Dave on audible then bought the kindle version for my husband. Dave is such a loveable wack! Laugh out loud funny.

Thanks for the laughs!
