... do some food shopping today if I need to eat but if there is any crappy xmas music playing there we'll have to starve.

I don't know how the staff endure 60 days of endless Xmas pop songs without decking a customer or their boss.

be a man listen to the music in your head

well get them to sing to you control them you know how

Some of this piped music drives me insane,especially the jangly pop.It even crept to Laura Ashley shops where before they played classical music with the volume down,no wonder they lost the more discerning shopper....................... :evil
And why is it if in a shop every point in the shop where you want to stop and browse just happens to be immediately below a speaker!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS del

la la la la la la la XXXXXXX

dreamdaisy

Hey-hey del! I love it! Here's my five minute effort.

Del's a Scrooge, he don't like Christmas
Fa-la-la-la-laaa, la-la la la.
He's all grumpy, grumbles at his missus,
Fa-la-la-la-laaa, la-la la la.
Won't wrap a present, doesn't write the cards,
Fa-la-la, la-la-laa, la la la
But he might cook the turkey, draping it in lard,
Fa-la-la-la-laaa, la-la la la.

away in a forum
no comphy a bed
the little del
lay down his sweet head

Oh, lets all sing carols! Oh, yes. A pet hate. What's the difference between a carol and a hymn? None, really. They're both devotional songs, except carols tend to be a bit more sickening.

Even then, I don't hate them per se, what I hate is that look people give you when you explain that you don't sing carols, or hymns, because you do not believe in their deity and feel it is inappropriate to express your love and obedience to it. You might know the look, the one that says, 'but it's Christmas!' immediately followed by 'You're a miserable ****!'.

I am NOT a miserable ****, I find few things in life as rewarding as eating well, drinking until you pass out, dancing singing, laughing and joking with friends and loved ones. I just hate bleedin' Xmas carols

you begining to sound like mel lol i still love you

Here's an alternative one then, just for you, Len

While Rehab ranted on by night,
All seated in the bar,
An angel called Fat Kev came down,
It was a wondrous sight.

''Fear not'', said he, for mighty dread
Had seized Len's troubled mind,
''The lager's here, it's not run out,
There's plenty, you will find!''

''For you, behind the bar this day
Are bottles in a line
Drink up, have fun, enjoy yourself,
And then you will feel fine!''

I think we're onto a winner here. 8)

Good King Del has gone to ground
Rehab's in the bunker
Mell is ranting all around
Tony's NOT a plonker
Mrs Lawson's burning bright
Val is carefully brewing
Tea and coffee for the gang
But her soup is stew-oooo-ing

Frog dispenses wise advice
Always kind and tender
Sticky makes us laugh, that's nice
Julie sits in splendour
DD dreams the day away
Hileena likewise with her
Skez is busy all day long
Just like Frog she's te -en-der

Tkachev swings from bough to bough
As elegant as ever
Tilly does her garden now
Even though it's winter
Poppy's gentle, kind and warm
Just like legs and Barbara
AC is a grand forum . . . . . . .
And I can't go any fur-urrrr-ther.




I've also missed a fair few out, not intentionally, it's just there are so many and I needed the scanning names. :oops:

julie47

Oh DD and Joan they are brilliant songs

Which one of you is going to be christmas no 1 I wonder




all proceds to ac

Had to collect using the bin, couldn't find a bucket

stickywicket

What a talanted bunch of songsmiths! We could do a whole book of AC carols at this rate. And all because Delboy said he hated them! Thanks all of you for a very enjoyable ending to a busy day.

Bumped up in response to Numpty's gem of an offering. 'Del's a scrooge' etc is sung to the tune of 'Deck the Halls'. DD

Hello Rehab,

In the good book did the prodigal son come back
at Christmas?

stickywicket

I don't know about Christmas, Ichabod, but I do know that the prodigal son was welcomed with open arms and a great celebratory feast.

ichabod6

I reckon that's what rehab is up for.

bubbadog

Ok I'm going to go and sob in a corner as I wasn't mentioned in the ditty's! I thought I was slightly liked.....After all I am a nut box!! Oh well will go away and OTT on chocolates!
