Merry Christmas

Being old and in the land of "we dare not say Christmas so we say Holiday or Season" (traces of Oscar and Alfred  ), it is a delight to say to all fellow posters:
"Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year"
And may Santa bring you all the missing parts of your collection of Atkin and James

An unusually enigmatic message from Sean: an overdose of mince pies?

Q? Doesn't this refer to an omnipotent race of rather mischievous beings in Star Trek - The Next Generation? Steady!

"He's devious and amoral and unreliable and irresponsible and definitely not to be trusted." – Captain Jean-Luc Picard (TNG: "Qpid")
Q was a highly powerful entity from a race of immortal, godlike beings also known as the Q.
Q appeared to the crews of several Starfleet vessels and outposts during the 2360s and 2370s. All Starfleet command personnel are briefed on his existence. He almost always appeared in the uniform of a Starfleet captain.
In every appearance he demonstrated superior capabilities, but also a mind-set that seemed quite unlike what Federation scientists expected for such a powerful being. He has been described, in turn, as "obnoxious," "interfering," and a "pest". However, underneath his acerbic attitude, there seemed to be a hidden agenda to Q's visits that seemed to have the best interests of Humanity at their core – although this opinion cannot be directly proven. On a planet called Brax, he was known as "The God of Lies". (DS9: "Q-Less")
When temporarily rendered Human by the Continuum, Q spectacularly claimed to possess an IQ of 2005. (TNG: "Deja Q")
