That's right you just go ahead and ruin Christmas for all of us.

Santa is a real figment of my imagination and he's coming to my house on Christmas night. So ner.

Superb logic!!
Perhaps you can do a similar piece to explain to my ex-wife reasons why I should not be expected to fund her extravagant lifestyle!
Cheers (I was about to say "Xmas Cheers", but it would obviously be wasted on you!!

Sorry Simon, you've forgotten

"THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS"

Mind you, thinking logically, in the Natural History museum here in Tring there's a dinosaur bone that's 2,000,003 years old, according to the attendant.

When asked how he could be so exact, he said "Well when I started here 3 years ago, I was told it was 2 million years old................"

Relax everybody, Simon is way off.
Off course Santa exist.

Simon, as an engineer you must have heard of Quantum physics and Wormholes. Santa doesn't just work on X-mas evening ...
He works ALL year. Bringing out gifts to the NICE people that believes in him (that's probably why you haven't seen him Simon).

Next you'll be telling us there are no Trolls, Lepricorns and Elfs

What is the World comm .... (he walks off muttering to himself)

Simon, Just look at the overwhelming evidence:

Millions of kids get their stockings filled with presents, someone eats all the mince pies and drinks all the sherry left out on Christmas Eve, there are Santa's grottos in every shop, so,

SANTA DOES EXIST!!,

and here's a picture to prove it

Just because Denmark has more snow than Great Britain, it doesn't mean that every Danish man with a white beard and a red coat is Santa!

Anyway, even if he does exist, and even if he does work all year (364 days because he can't work Christmas Day), he still only has 281.806 thousandths of a second for each house.

That is just over 1/4 of a second to do absolutely everything - which is clearly impossible.

EVEN if it wasn't impossible, Santa would have to work 24 hours every day. No-one can work 24 hours a day, every single day.

So - if Santa did exist once, he has had no sleep at all and has therefore now died of exhaustion.

In other words, he is still dead.

I rest my case!



(mutter, mutter, Simon ... mutter) ... Now where to begin?
As even the smallest child can tell you, Santa lives in Denmark - well Greenland (our Northern colony [shush, don't let them hear that]. Due to the technology involved in wormholes and the much acclaimed relativity theory of my learned friend Albert Einstein, Santa can travel back and forward in time, and THEREFORE has all the time in the WORLD.

You want Photographic proof that he exists?
Is that the engineers way of saying "If I do not have your picture you do not exist?" Ehrmm, do you have my picture? Please... don't make me obsolete by saying no

No, my good man. Santa exists - just as Grey Ghosts and Spooks do

The next person to deny Santa will have a temporary banning order imposed until they give in and buy me a Christmas present.

By order of the mangement (spelling).:xmas-smiley-009:
