MrHew Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 I'm ready and willing to get Christmas going but Mrs Hew is insisting we wait. I went to a garden centre for Doggy Hew supplies a couple of weeks ago and got very excited walking around the Christmas display. They had the tunes going too, it was ace. Although in my excitement, I forgot some of the dog supplies. If I worked there and had to listen to the songs all the hours of every shift for 8 weeks, I might change my mind.

Ryan1984 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Every year... The Pogues had their say: https://twitter.com/poguesofficial/stat ... 94817?s=21 “the word itself being in Fairytale Of New York doesn’t bother or offend me, but straight people being so angry & outraged at its removal and literally fighting and arguing for the right to sing it bothers me deeply” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearing Slade while struggling through an oppressively-decorated and overcrowded shopping centre is my idea of hell. Not gonna be so much of an issue this year, I reckon!

I'd just like to point out that I have never 'knowingly' heard any of her music. Now, no doubt I must have done so, but as I mostly pay no attention to who's singing what then I can rarely pinpoint anything musically. So, to conclude - I don't know whether I like her or not.

I think so. Oh no. That's it complete for me now. I haven't got a clue at all. What's the homophobic slur, and which song is it from?

Thanks for the info maelzoid. I did actually try to search for the answer myself beforehand but for some reason my search skills really aren't up to much this morning - hence my sort of afore mentioned freefall bewilderment. Not that that isn't my normal day to day MO anyway"! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
