If everything isn't black and white, I say, 'Why the hell not?'
John Wayne (My guru, not to be confused with my beloved prophet Jeremy Clarkson) -
Father christmas (Like religion) is a good way of keeping those who don't know better in line.
When they are little it is "Behave or father christmas won't give you presents!!!"
When they get older it is "Behave or God won't let you in heaven!!!!"
All utter tosh, but both have thier uses if used properly to keep the thick, stupid and those who don't know better in thier place.

Yep, I watched it. Bit disjointed IMO, but still enjoyable.Originally posted by SpartacusSpeaking of make believe fictional characters, anyone been watching Hogfather on Sky One? Very good I thought (although I've not read the book).Comment

it wasn't bad, but it not his (Pratchett's) best book by a long way. Only got made now cos it has a Christmas theme to it.
The story is just as disjointed in the book as it was on the telly and they mucked about with some of the characters as well. Nobby Nobbs was far too clean and tidy for a start and DEATH just wasn't convincing, unfortunately."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

I always thought the books had a medievel setting, but this adaptation seemed to be more early Victorian.I'm Spartacus.Comment
