This is the Snug at Santa's house. There's a roaring fire. My friends at h2g2 came round earlier with decorations and lots of mistletoe. So we're having a party here, which will keep on going into the new millennium. So grab a drink and a mince pie or two and mingle. h2g2 Researchers are such nice, fun, people that this is bound to be a good party...
