I'm loving this punky Cyndi Lauper / Hives Christmas duet. Really festive. Gets you in the mood for a bit of turkey.

Hives

I bought no gifts this year

And I slept with your sister

I know I should have thought twice before I kissed her

But with the year we had last

And the dress that she wore

I just went along for the ride

And I came back for more

And I?m sorry, baby


Cyndi

(That?s all okay honey cause see)

I bought no tree this year

And I slept with your brother

I wrecked your Daddy?s car

And went down on your Mother

I set your record collection on fire

And said I never knew

Felt kind of bad about that

And I know you did too

So whatever you say, it?s all fine by me

Who the f@#k anyway wants a Christmas tree


Duet : Cyndi Lauper and The Hives

Cause the snow keeps on fallin

Even though we were bad

It?ll cover the filth, we should both just be glad

And spend this Christmas together


The Hives

I married you last year

Bet you thought I was sober, right?

But I was drunk as a skunk and I made a mistake

This could all have been over


Cyndi

Ah honey please don?t excuse your behaviour

Cause I hired a hitman and changed your will

It?s now all in my favour

So whatever you say, it?s all fine by me

Who the f@#k anyway wants a Christmas tree

Cause the snow keeps on fallin

Even though we were bad

It?ll cover the filth, we should both just be glad


And spend-spend-spend this Christ-Christmas together

Mmm good choice Piers. Which reminds me, Luke Haines has a new hilariously bitchy auto-biography out at the moment. Here he is with the Auteurs, another band overshadowed by some less talented peers:


The Auteurs - Lenny Valentino

great video Sean. Weirdly shades of Money for Nothing in it (the video no the song) though obviously made on something better than Acorn Archimedes!!


Ooh the Auteurs, one of those bands I'd meant to investigate more thoroughly, now my chance.

I loved that Valentino single back in the day. I loved Haine's later band as well - Black Box Recorder




Plus he has just released a book which looks veeery entertaining

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
