It's well known that Christmas lasts from the day after Bonfire night (November 6th) until the late Presient Nixon's birthday (january 10th, I believe). There's a fortnight of post-christmas tosh, plus reviews of theyear. Also, quite few old and famous people are yet to die and they usually choose this time of year to go so they get better coverage.
Whic reminds me of a work collegue. We all put in a fiver, and bet on the next famous person to die. They all lasted for almost a year. Then, whilst he was on holiday in the USA, and watching the TV, the news cames on that Mother Theresa had died. To the horror of everyone else in the crowded bar, he punched the air and shouted "Yes!"
Bad taste I know but we have a celebrity death wish competition at the office. Each person on your list gets a number of points, the older the person, the less points. Then everyone tots up their points at the end of the year and the winner gets the pot - Markc told me how to run it !!
