There are 2 questions I really hate hearing and they kinda come together every year: What would you like for Christmas? What are you doing on New Year’s Eve?

Sometimes progress comes at a price. When the British armies of yesteryear replaced their Longbows with Crossbows their rate of fire fell from around 30 arrows a minute to one every minute. The range of course was improved, but the volume was significantly reduced. It was however seen as progress. Nowadays, the cost of progress…
Do you love Christmas? Are you one of those people who get their presents bought in October, the cards written in November and the 10 foot tree up and decorated by the first week of December? Or are you like me and many others I know who just wish the whole thing would start when…

This is not a movie of Ben, but if he’d been offered the part I am sure he’d have accepted!
This is Ben I think he’s the most beautiful Labrador in Cardiff, Wales, UK, the world!
