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.

"Him? Midge Ure?"
"Yes, very."

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.

I have an infinite number of belief systems cos there are an infinite number of things I don't believe in.

I respect your right to believe whatever you want. I don't have to respect your beliefs.

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.
