  • Maverick’s monster Christmas

    Found myself in Maverick TV’s reception on Heath Mill Lane this morning and was bowled over by their ha-yooge squashed monster of a Christmas tree.  I have it on good authority (from the bloke reading magazines in reception) that Johnie Turpie turned lumberjack and chopped it down “with his big axe”, probably bringing it back in the yellow hummer.  It goes down through a hole to the floor below, you know.

    I have no idea how big this is. Can you photograph it next to a cat, please?

    This tree reminds me of Jabba The Hut. I never ever thought I’d be able to say that about a tree.

    Is there any room for people in the office, now?!

    :)

    Johnie will be using the office bods as tree decorations. Chris Unitt’s set to be the big shiney sparkley star on the top ; )

    Sorry Jon – wasn’t a cat to hand. Must remember to pack Samson in my rucksack with my camera and the rest of my essential bloggers’ kit!

    Jon – it’s only about 5′6″, but it’s the girth that’s impressive;a bit like how Queen Victoria’s waist measurement was the same as her height. [Disclaimer: I believe myself to have read this piece of Victoriana trivia somewhere but have not bothered to check it, so don't come crying to me if you try using it in a pub quiz and it blows up in your face.]

    What is your opinion?
