Merry Christmas


Merry Christmas,
Peace on Earth
and Goodwill to all People.


As for goodwill but one example: In Berlin six human beings in the so-called Holy Night set fire on a homeless human being sleeping in an underground station. Fortunately, other human beings put out the blaze.

Consequential


There have always innocent children been born
who became evil bastards.
In face of an expanding number of human beings
it should therefore not come as a surprise
that nowadays
there live more evil bastards on this planet.


They would be a minor problem, though.

The problems are caused by those who follow them.

Glyn Houston as Gwyn Thomas




Today is Glyn Houston's 90th birthday.
In the 1980s the Welsh actor performed a hugely successful one-man play called "Chunks and Chips" using the autobiographical writing of Gwyn Thomas to bring his unique wisdom and dark observational humour back to life. This performance is a must for anyone who appreciates Welsh humour, great writing and superb acting.
