I love old school christmas songs. Like mid-century stuff. So good.

I don't mind that kind of stuff, I do hate modern corporate Christmas music though. The Christian music I really enjoy is the old old stuff, requiems (which is more Easter than Christmas) and so forth.  Even some hymns like "O Come All Ye Faithful" can rise to magnificence in a reverberating cathedral with a massive organ.

You just haven't been looking for the right Christmas songs, Doug.

"Wish that I could have a drink and make you go away" summarizes my attitude for most of the month of December.

I worked retail all through high school and college so Christmas music just makes me cringe.  All this talk of Christmas music brought me back to some of my high school Eazy-E days so I present to you the most offensive Christmas song ever:

I bet Eric Wright was one of Santa's little elves…

The Darkness is actually pretty good live.

A mate of mines band toured with them quite a few years ago, I went to a few dates and met them all and to be honest they were a bunch of pricks, but that song has so much win about it for the flagrant use of the UK insult "Bell End". To my knowledge it is the only popular song in history to incorporate one of my favourite insults.

Nate - Fuck that Pogues song. In the UK at this time of year it is on the radio at least 200 times a day, on every station, plus I used to work in an Irish bar where it was required listening for a further 500 times a night, plus Shane McGowan is less Irish than I am so fuck him too.

(Generally I love a lot of other pogues songs, but that one just makes my skin crawl)

Those who would lock people up for smoking herbs are scum.

If you are one of those people, fuck you very much and have a very shitty Christmas.

Alcohol is a far worse drug, and a far bigger drain on the NHS in the UK, just more socially acceptable. I used to smoke a LOT of weed up until Tommy was born so I would never criticise anyone who wants to, hard to commit crime when you high as a motherfucker.

Great for me though as I absolutely love booze

It could lube the cars, mellow out the bars
Make room in jail for the killers in this time

United States is the most incarcerative society in the history of the world.  Yay, we're #1 at something again!

Never tried it and never cared to, but don't give two shits if anyone does it. There are bigger problems in the world.

It's legal here (within limits)… Nowt for me (I've even quit smoking cigs completely), but I reckon it should be legalised everywhere. It's not for everyone, but is eg. alcohol?..

[mclaincausey]

I couldn't give two shits if somebody wanted to shoot krokodil into to their damn eyeball.

Thanks for allowing my little public rant and being the decent sort of people I've come to expect from this great forum.
