The Ghost of Xmas-Future.

By BrianRobertNeal

19 December 2006

Oscar was right, nature does imitate art. This piece written in 2002 was pure fiction but in 2007 it will be fact.

Merry Xmas to one and all and sorry for the formatting.

SANTA’S SURPRISE.

The Commander felt a really warm sensation as he looked at his squad of

dedicated crime busters. Civilisation was safe in the hands of men like these.

“Right Lads, it’s the big one so full protective gear!” The men donned enclosure

suits. The Commander shouted, “Go, Go Go!” The squad entered their vehicle

then proceeded to the location named in the tip-off.

On its arrival, a waiting agent dressed as Father Xmas entered the target premises. This was the signal for the men to disembark; some primed their stun guns and covered the exits, the remainder stormed the building. As they entered, the Santa exploded a gas grenade then quickly put his sack over his head. Fifteen perverts were caught; cuffed and bundled into the Van.

On return to the station the captives were locked up separately in windowless cells. The men removed their gear and went to the Control Room. Their team leader gave a de-brief. The Commander then spoke to the men: One day you will tell your grandchildren what you did in the war against Smoking in enclosed public places”.

Nice to see you back Brian.

I've recently given up fags - four and a half weeks. I can't wait until next June or July. Not through any sense of convert's fervour, but just because I'm finding it so damn hard every time I catch a wiff of tobacco. I've even started dreaming about smoking.

Phil.

That's what happens when you smoke in public areas... As a non-smoker I don't mind those laws. Of course it's very un-liberal and I wonder if the European governments have nothing else to do, but visiting a pub without having to smell like tobacco all night wouldn't be so bad.

Yes but what's next?

I hope being sweaty and smelly on Tubes will be banned. And flatulence. And backpackers.

God, you know what should happen? They discover that smoking was healthy all along.

Anyway, if everybody actually stops smoking, just watch the smug buggers who never enjoyed a fag take a heart attack as they realise they'll have to make up the huge tax shortfall we used to pay - especially when we're all dead and not paying any tax at all.

Here's hoping for a tobacco filled dream tonight.....

That always sound a healthy thing to say.

Glad you liked it.

And whilst it's still not an offence to do so; I should like to wish a Merry Christmas,

Brian.
