    Seriously? It's been around for a while. And, I hate to dissapoint you, but she's dead. Don't think it would be much of a concert. More like a wake. But, they were Irish, so I guess it would be a pretty mental wake.

    Kirsty McCall was English........so the wake will be 4 cans of Smiths and lots of Diet Coke!

    After almost non-stop christmas songs on the radio, even I'm feeling a bit kind-of Christmassy now :D

    (After a really sh!t few months I can't say i'm particularly looking forward to it as such, but i'm enjoying all the mulled wine and looking forward to some nice bike rides on clear trails when everyone else is busy with Christmas stuff!)

    Bloody modern pop and rock stars. It was proper coke when I were a lad, growing up shifting my wares on the cutthroat streets of Rhyl.

    After several weeks of working on far too many crimbo special cartoons, I've already had enough.

    When I ran the boozer we I used to hire one of the locals as our resident DJ, he turned up one St Patricks night and played F.O.N.Y. 3 times as it was about the most Irish thing he had in his collection

    Hang on the original post said Christmas wasn't Christmas until he hears that song.
    Yet he heard it for the first time recently?
    Implies his whole life has been empty until now.

    I was like that until I got my Cervelo

    Bless.

    Don't be a dingus. It just means his festive feelings hadn't started.

    aaaaand, you talk about other people having an empty life.
