Happy (Chinese) New Year!

The joys of multicultural London!
We have already celebrated Eid, Diwali, Halloween, All Saints Day, Thanksgiving, St Nicholas Day, Muharram, Hanukkah, Christmas, New Year, Orthodox Christmas & Russian New Year.
Personally I'm waiting for Purim (March 10th), Mitzvah to get so drunk, that one does not know the difference between Haman and Mordechai (or right and wrong) - feels right to me (am obviously very sober, which is very wrong) - then, straight after St Patrick's Day, why not have a blast for Nowruz (Persian New Year) on March 21st.

Today, Monday, January 26th welcomes the Chinese Year of the Ox.
Your friendly Agent B. Moo wishes you..
