I got knocked out on Thursday night when the restaurant I was in played it.

You haver to realise it's all tongue in cheek, probably even the DJ's apology.

I think I'll probably make it - I don't listen to pop radio.

I suspect few of us do. Usually shops, restaurants, and pubs get me.

It's going to be harder to avoid this year, though I've survived so far.

Hadn't seen it before, it's quite sweet, and properly Christmassy

Looked it up on Wikipedia. A Christmas film set in London instead of Noo Yoyk makes a nice change. I might watch it on Christmas day, so as not to suffer Whamp-out.

Oh, I love that film. It is, as noted, Christmassy in the best way.

And it's got Michelle Yeoh in it, never a bad thing.
