BEN’S BLOG: ‘I’m dreaming of a Skype Christmas’

[dropcap]B[/dropcap]log, we are now approaching, about, the six month mark, to go, till Christmas. Having discussed the matter with Will Stockbroker, I think I may have reached the idea arrangement for this Noel.

I asked Will, what he would like to do for Christmas, once he is officially a Mega. He said that, by then, he would have retreated to a tax avoiding Swiss-mountain-residence, and that it would probably be easier for everyone concerned, if he just Skype’d in, to all family functions. The turkey in front of his keyboard, and thus able to mute the screen, when everyone starts having a go at him, or the conversation becomes a little boring. ‘Oh, I’m so sorry, Auntie Maude, the reception’s gone again…!’.

Good idea!

Iiiii’mmm dreeeaaammmiiinnngg of a Skyyyyyyypeee Chrisssttmmaass, just like the ones I used to knoooowww!!

Do you enjoy stories from, and the history of, the betting-ring, as much as I do? Well, if so, check out Simon Nott’s Twitter page @SimonNott.

Simon is a journalist, that does regular blogs from the course, and he’s even written a book; ‘Skint Mob, Tales From The Betting Ring’. It’s all about all the relentlessly ducking-and-diving characters, that occupy the skuldugerous ring. It’s a great read, and has even been nominated for several top awards.
