With the greatest respect RosieH and I do of course regard you as a queen of your sex and everything, but uppus buttus cum coconutus if that's the greatest Christmas song ever.


The greatest Christmas song is A Fairytale Of New York by The Pogues, it is so because it can be heard at any time of year and still be enjoyed for the fine song it is, but heard in December it becomes 'of the season'.

Bleak, hopeful, argumentative, joyful, optimistic and with a tune that you lends itself to dancing a woman around the floor and sending her skirts a-skirling.


With added NYPD choir. What more could a person want from a Christmas song?

I love singing in Latin:


Remember this little ditty?


"Veni Creator Spiritus,

mentes tuorum visita,

imple superna gratia

quae tu creasti pectora" (sang while flouncing around the kitchen island in the light of a Diptyque candle, glass of Chablis in hand...)

I remember some psuedo-latin quotes from my mis-spent youth...


Nil desperandum carborundum illegitimo = don't let the bar studs grind you down.


Non seductress asbestos = F&?k you I'm fireproof.


The only Latin song I remember at school started:- Gaudi our mus igitor juveness dom suomuss.... I never understood a word but enjoyed the tune and singing those weird lyrics in a monkey hear, monkey sing, fashion.


Apologies to all the studious ones reading this who recognise the lamentable phonetic style, Latin mis-spelling.

    • that is one cliche-ridden post headnun    it doesn’t mean a sack of beans in the real world  “old fashioned voters” meaning the ones dragging the country down this last 15 years just to laugh at the libs tears. Well done all  I’m not looking back at all. This is not a post Europe world in any sense. There are forces bigger than Europe but uk would be better aligning with Europe against, say, china, the pretending we live in some post Europe world.    and in case you hadn’t noticed, whoever you vote for, there are a LOT of ignorant racists feeling very happy with their resurgence - I would fight against them if I were you 
    • No they aren't. You're coming across as a smug, superior liberal, and that's what old fashioned voters (labour, Cons and now Reform) hate. That 'the deplorables' 'they're all ignorant racists' line is what's driving people away from the traditional parties and towards Reform.  You're as guilty of looking back as Labour. This is a new, post-europe world and we all need to come to terms with that, make do with what we have, and move forward.       
    • I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government  Specifically Chris mason - a not very bright right leaning stooge - large part of why bbc news has become grok-level slop  
    • In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.
