Man Exits Bunker When Beer Thirst Overtakes X-mas Dread Monday, Dec. 24, 2001 LONDON (Reuters) - A British man who went underground behind blast-proof doors and thick concrete to avoid a family Christmas has emerged early because he was "dying for a pint" of beer.Colin Wood, a 30-year-old financial services worker, entered the decommissioned nuclear bunker in Essex, east of London, on Thursday and planned to stay for another week."It was great but I was dying for a pint and the idea of a spending another week was too much," he told Reuters Monday.Wood paid $430 at an Internet auction for a two-week stay in the bunker.He said he took such extreme action because he abhorred Christmas and all its trimmings."It's OK in theory but the running around, the buying of presents for people you don't like, the family bickering, the endless turkey and terrible films on TV are just too much," he said.

    Call me a grinch, but that ol' boy's about right about it ain't he? I like the idea behind Christmas, but all that stuff he said kinda stinks.
