    Oh for bloody hell's sake... (Christmas Thread)

    Season's Bloody Greetings to all of you. The barstewards in the factory across the road have installed two great big speakers outside and are piping christmas songs at high volume across the whole industrial estate (yes, testers get to work in beautiful locations). I hate christmas songs. The only christmas song that I can listen to is 2000 miles by the Pretenders and the rest are tulipe. OK, except for the carols I used to sing in the choir at prep school. But still, I can't stand the constant sound of 'sleighbells ringing', 'do they know it's bloody christmas' and so on.

    Which christmas song do you think is the most abject of them all?

        Mistletoe and wine is pretty bad

        OTOH Bell's end by the darkness is a corker

          Also I suppose it's not really a Christmas song but I doubt this is getting much airtime this year

            But xmas with the devil was a Spinal Tap classic!
            Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

            No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

              I quite like Fairytale of New York.

              You´re a bum you´re a punk
              You´re an old slut on junk
              Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
              You scumbag you maggot
              You cheap lousy faggot
              Happy christmas your arse I pray god it´s our last.

              And the boys of the NYPD choir's still singing Galway Bay
              And the bells were ringing out
              For christmas day.
              Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                Carol of the Bells and I Believe in Father Christmas ( Jeff Lake) are the only ones I find remotely acceptable. The rest are all Bollocks

                  complain to the noise abatement officer at the Council & PRS

                  PRS for Music

                  I doubt that is legal or the PRS will want a chunk of cash for it.

                  not sure about the Goons though, I think they missed the point of the song!
