Now, as you sit there in front of your open log fire, sipping on your sherry and nibbling on your puff pastries, i bet i
know what you're thinking. It is, after all, something we all think about at this time of year, every man, woman
and child. And sometimes it makes us happy. And other times it makes us reflective and sad. And sometimes
we just have trouble getting our heads around the enormity and meaning of it all.

So, you might ask, what is this thing that i know you'll all be thinking about?
Well it is, of course, that age old question - why on earth are there four horsemen of the Apocolypse?
Why four? Why not seven? Or three?
Well the answer is really quite simple.
There are four horsemen of the Apocolypse because they are the evil antithesis of the four Wise Kings who attended the birth of Mr Jesus Christ.

        Okay, okay, i know what you're now thinking. You're thinking to yourselves "hold up just a cotton-picking minute,
        i'm not that up on my religious scriptures and all that, but i'm pretty darned sure there were only three kings present                            when the virgin Mary dropped."
                           And you're right.
                           Except that you're not.
                           It is, as you say, commonly believed that there were only the three kings - Arnie, Barney and Charlie,
                           to give them they're names. However, this is a complete fib. There was a fourth who was written out of
                           biblical history for reasons best known only to the highest leaders of the Christian faith. Fortunately for
                       you all though, i know this geezer who works down the market whose mate used to go to school with this
         other bloke whose sister briefly went out with a guy who later became one of the big knobs in the Vatican, and he revealed exclusively to me the real truth concerning the events of the 1st January 0000 (J.C's proper birth date).

So ladies and gentlemen sit back, relax and enjoy as i now reveal to you all The Legend of King Reg
