Berried Alive

With less than two weeks before the big anticlimax day, I think it's nice to see Christmas decorations wherever you go.

But I don't agree with shops that have continuously thrown Christmas at you since September.
Or those that force the staff to dress up (Anne Summers are making all their staff wear little red Santa dresses - they look rather good on the younger shop girls, but on the post-menopausal ladies... well, I felt sick...)

A hospital can be a miserable place and I reckon decorations can make it look a lot nicer (when done in moderation).

But why did some fuckwit think it would be a good idea to cover the Acute Medical Ward at my hospital with mistletoe? A room full of very sick people. Filled with poisonous berries?

There are suicidal patients recovering from drug overdoses there - you might as well hand them a Morrissey CD & some razor blades and say "Have you tried cutting lengthways?"

And anyway, why would you want to kiss ANYONE on that ward?!? *





* have you SEEN the nurses? ugh...
