IT'S XMAS. TIME FOR SOME OBLIGATORY FUN

This week has been non-stop. It's been a lot of fun. There's been fake dancing, costume making, UV painting, fake reporting and advert making, shooting, a fair bit of laughing, even a Jaffa-Cake-meter eating. But no matter how much you're enjoying yourself, you still end up knackered. And inevitably it's always the worst kind of timing.

Tonight is our work's Christmas do. That's right. It's time to don ridiculous costumes, down a great deal of what tastes vaguely like complimentary ethanol and dance like you've never done it before. I shouldn't be such a scrooge about it, but my legs hurt, my head's pounding and I've got shed loads of Christmas presents to buy. But then this morning everything changed.

It's nothing spectacularly creative, but it's certainly not short on good spirit. It's HMS OCEAN's christmas vid. A few watches of this and suddenly, the rain begins to look like the first snow of December. The beeping of machinery around the office becomes the jingling of bells. And that distended whooshing sound of paper making it's way through a photocopier, well, it's the sound of the wind rushing past the window, whilst you're all warm and cosy inside...

Plus it's MEN IN UNIFORM ^_^ (although the fourth guy - the one in the shorts and deck shoes - that's questionable. I'm not sure that's a REAL UNIFORM)

Enjoy and merry christmas.

(The guys wearing nothing but a present are priceless)
