ANOTHER CHRISTMAS GAME

Up in the attic the little GNHQ gnomes had chased away some horrible gremlins who had tried to gatecrash the party. Cliff was so happy that he ...

performed an impromptu medley of his Greatest Hits, then had to go for a lie down to let his wrinkles settle...

and restore his nicely quaffed hair do. In the meantime...all the Gransnetters were preparing for a right royal knees-up...

by polishing their knees and fluffling up their wigs.

Galen led the way to.....

the cosy venue where a roaring log fire and plenty of bubbly was being served by...

Pierce Brosnan and George Clooney who were wearing..... (I wish !)

....Cliff Richard. No! Cliff is lying down, so this is - yes, it's Joe Brown and all his Bruvvers. Remember him? Joe and his Bruvvers are carrying trays of bubbly as well as caviar, olives, nuts and other delicacies. Now, who is this? Flash, bang, wallop - what a picture..........

Whoops, loopylou - we xd. So, Pierce and George are wearing onsies. Pierce is a leopard and George is a lion. Both have tails which swish around behind them as they............

sad that we don't do this sort of thing all year round!

exclaimed Jack. Speak for yourself, said Hank, embracing Fairy Wanda who immediately....

Smacked him over the head with her nownotsotwinkly wand. The ensuing shriek woke up......

every Gransnet husband and wife who realised what they had been missing (whilst busy wrapping pressies, sleeping in the armchair or fiddling around in the garden shed)...

and Gransnet HQ gathered up their glad rags and hailed a cab to take them where the action was beginning to rock...

..and roll. Cliff, his Shadows, Joe Brown and his Bruvvers plus an assortment of fairies and elves were singing with gay abandon; when suddenly Jack jumped up and shouted.....

... let's have a Gransnet Flashdance! And so saying he launched himself into an energetic routine, helped by wand who hovered over him sprinkling shimmering stardust everywhere. Cliff, Joe, his Bruvvers and the Shadows, all the Gransnet HQ team and GNetters and everybody else started singing and dancing their own amazing version of ...

Achy Breaky Heart. Well, I don't need to tell you ......

some folk couldn't resist rounding up all those gathered to dance and shimmy and perform the sort of abandoned conga that has never ever...
