Interesting idea mate but we never have them on ....... we tend to go for the traditional carols & Slade
Not an ostrich mate, China have created their own problems by over populating. Their government are attempting to restore parity, by hoovering up assets overseas and committing Chinese money to external projects to bring in income that isn't dependent on China as a manufacturing capability. In the mean time, China needs to continue trading the way it is in order to see through their strategic economic project. We're supporting a long term initiative by buying from China, the fact that there is a victim in this scenario is nothing new. There are far more victims throughout history and working in mines in Africa who sweat shop workers, for example, wouldn't trade positions with. With regards to the environment, I refuse to believe this world has spun on it's axis for 7 Billion years without any issues and after 100 years of heavy industrial pollution, we're on our last legs. I believe things happen cyclically and scientists haven't even scratched the surface of the bigger picture yet.
Will Sir Cliff be making an appearance (via the wireless) at Casa Smug this Christmas or have you decided he's not to be trusted around kids anymore, after all these accusations. My mum used to love a bit of Cliff at Christmas... if she puts him on this year, I'm reporting her to Yewtree.
Cliff will be in the shops being piped through the PA in a week or two. Along with Slade, Wizzard, Paul Bastard McCartney and all the other Xmas song ****ers. Only one worth listen was The Pogues & Kirsty Macoll's Fairy Tale of New York...
That Slade one apparently earns the most in royalties in this country, think they earned about £650k last year... every year... mental. All for one, ridiculously annoying song and that's just in this country. I bet Mariah Carey makes a mint. I'd love to see what's in her stockings.
Don't mind Slades, I think its the best xmas song ever. Proper old school xmas, gets you in the mood. Wizzards is canny too for the same reason. However Paul McCartney's effort has to be the most irritating load of **** ever to be put onto record. It annoys the hell out of me, not only the worst xmas song ever, and not only one of the worst songs ever, but probably one of the worst things ever. Pouges was ok but, unlike the old school efforts, for some reason im sick of hearing it. Why cant anybody release a decent xmas record now? Nobody ever does. Might get my miniature keyboard and pen out and get scribbling....I could make a fortune!!!!
I'm lucky that, after countless arguments with shopkeepers & other customers, Mrs Smug doesn't allow me in shops these days
China has major problems, but their rulers also have an eye on ruling the world; check out what they are doing hoovering up lands, far from their shores, in the Pacific. IMO they have an agenda and they intend one day for us to bow to their will. (Actually it's almost happening now and check out what they did to the Buddhists inp Tibet when they didn't bend the knee) As for the world, it spins away and yes it may have a few billion to go........but we as the human race are a major source of pollution, which with education and reason we could change for our own sakes if not for the thousands of other species that are close to extinction because of us. I maybe a nothing, a nobody who is concerned about the environment, but is not worth the time of day. Surely though, if David Attenborough is standing up and saying there is a huge problem then that is a hippy we all should listen too? Unfortunately It seems not! Anyway, I am beginning to see there is no point in fretting or arguing so have a nice Christmas, or xmas, whichever floats your boat.
**** off you bastards . . . . Paul McCartney is the best singer/songwriter that there's ever been, regardless of your opinions about "Wonderful Christmastime" and there's no need to refer to him as being a bastard (there is every need to call anybody who calls him one one, though ) ****s Rant over
I'm not a fan of the Beatles either but I suppose I respect them and their efforts. However that xmas song of his? The time it must have taken to write that rubbish? He must have wrote it on the bog on xmas eve during a visit where he quickly discovered it was merely a loud pump and that was all. Barely sat down and didn't even need to wipe his arse.
When Lennon and McCartney turned up, the definition of over-rated in the dictionary became obsolete!!!
Quentin Q. Benton does a 'Fairytale on the Forum' I can hear it coming together in your head, you need to get hold of a good bagpiper though..
After his pre-Band On The Run post-Beatles work, he definitely qualifies as a "bastard". Mary Had A Little Lamb FFS!
Aye . . . . nee ****er likes The Beatles, or the zillions of songs that Paul and John wrote for others They were never that popular even in their heyday . . . . and Paul's Christmas song, which is one of the most popular ever, is rubbish http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Wonderful Christmastime&FORM=VIRE1#view=detail&mid=106689ED4608B7A21F7F106689ED4608B7A21F7F Very overrated Daft twats
Pauls xmas song is popular because it was written and performed by Paul McCartney and not because of its quality. If a nobody/nearly somebody came up with that tripe then it wouldn't have made it out of the studio or would have been encased in concrete and locked up in the bowels of the record company. McCartney, in the past, would merely to have needed to record the sounds of himself farting in a bucket of custard and people would have bought it. I don't like the Beatles much but I fully understand why they are so popular, rather like why Take That or One Direction were/are popular now.
