Visiting Santa

[Snoop Doug]

So - while you'se lot were out freezing yer wotsits, I took me and my cold laden family to see the red suit wearing fat git of Christmas.

As you can see from the picture, he got stuck at the top of a very tall chimbley which we had to ascend. Keira asked him who ate all the pies while Mrs Snoop and I admired the view.

It was a gloomy day, not good for a photo, yet, thanks perhaps to the spirit of Christmas, the clouds parted, briefly. The shutter snapped and the job was done.

We left Santa to figure out how he was going tee dislodge his fat ar5e afore Christmas Eve while we descended on a posh Japanese restaurant and gorged ourselves on all manner of raw fish and the like. Wonderful!

Happy Christmas!!

I bet I've been higher than you Snoop - I have been in the lift motor room on the 40th floor - and that has a trap door leading to the mast on top - I went through the trap door as we had to test a break glass fire point which is at the foot of the mast.. Used to go up to the 38th floor to plug in the revolving floor when functions were being held...
nice pic !
