Welcome to the 2019 Fiver
Christmas Awards. We lost count last year of how many times we’ve done this, so don’t be expecting us to furnish you with a number now. All we know is, it’s been too many. You know it too. But despite the grinding familiarity and futility of it all, we go again. It’s a time-honoured festive tradition, see, like crackers, carols and crying. So here it is, merry Christmas, everybody’s trudging on. Charge your glass with a generous shot of your cheapest aftershave, top it up with a little turps, dig out the packet of tablets you should have taken for your bad back a few months ago but decided to save for the holidays, and sink into a gorgeous haze of delight, the better to deal with the next few minutes of existence. Make sure to have a couple of rolls of that Regina Blitz to hand, just in case you wake up with a start in a puddle! Enjoy, enjoy.
