All I want for Christmas is an STD... on no wait a minute I really DON’T want that!
Welcome to January 2017, the New Year has come in and you have just had what I hope was an excellent Christmas. Christmas brought with it a host of presents. You probably got a jumper that you don’t really want to wear, have been fed mince pies whether you actually like them or not, and you know that thing you really wanted as a Christmas present?
