I love everything about crimbo, however this year I have had a few unfortunate incidents especially in the last couple of weeks that was starting to make me hate it.
Now yesterday i had to go into town to the bank and passed through one of the shopping malls which has xmas tunes on the pa, imagine my joy when on came "Fairytale Of New York" by the pogues featuring the much missed Kirsty McColl. I just love this song and any Christmas song that contains the lyric "You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot" has to be admired.
So after hearing it the world is not such a bad place and i am sure I will get out the other end of this crap intact

It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true
They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night
The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day
You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last
I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

Just caught the Pogues with Shane MacGowan (what's left of him) in San Francisco - they ended the show with Fairytale, and Ella Finer (Jem Finer's daughter) did a fantastic job with Kirsty's part...
Dancing with Shane and "snow" falling onstage to close the show was pretty moving to say the least...

Bothwell,
Are you related to the Bothwell who defended Queen Mary of Scots in the 16th century?
