MONDAY Today is Hong Kong Dress-Up Day. Hundreds sponsor David S. Davies to put his suit back on, and in a superb team effort the Liberal Party rakes in the cash for its garishly embellished and heavily-disguised policies.
The Chinese politburo declares the Christmas mail chaos 'unacceptable'. Sleeping mainland agents in Hong Kong are asked to prepare for an invasion of the territory.
Several Hong Kong people get drunk.
TUESDAY Winter solstice and the shortest day: socialite Tedd Marr declares the day 'too small for lunch' and extends his hangover to Wednesday.
Chinese invasion is cancelled after sleeping agents say they cannot get the time off work. Their advice: invade 'after the sales and preferably on a bank holiday'.
More people drink more.
