... 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.

    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!!!!

    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.

    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 :grin:

    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!''

    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:

    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?

    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.
