I'd almost forgotten what a great, feel good tune this is until I heard the Gloria Gaynor version on the radio just now.

Still prefer this one though:

So that's what Ian Hislop gets up to in his spare time!

My Dad used to throw things at the telly every time Jimmy Somerville came on.

Shoes generally.

Chicory tip had the same effect on my Dad.

Going off at a bit of a tangent, I was only four when Lonely This Christmas was a hit, so I obviously don't remember it, but it's always struck me as a bit of a piss take song.

Was it played out as a serious tune or was it all a bit tongue in cheek?

I remember seeing Les Whatsit singing to a dummy in a clip once, so I reckon they were taking the piss but it's not an overtly novelty song, is it?

Cheers.

I reckon all Christmas songs are a piss take. Can't remember anyone singing with a dummy,unless it was Eddie Large. Just for my late Dad,here's Chicory....

What was Mud's biggest hit?

It's on the tip (not a chicory one) of my tongue but I just can't remember what it was......

Was it Tiger Feet?

That's right, that's right, that's right,that's right........

(Sorry )

I walked straight into that you bastard.

Lacks something. Not sure what.

Another forgotten classic here.

Damian Lewis picked this on Desert Island Discs last week and it's a tune I haven't heard for donkey's.

In fact, I reckon the last time I heard this would have been standing in a field somewhere near Knutsford at about two AM, some time in the early 90's.

'Forgotten classic'.
I'm trying to forget it right now.

Awful.

You people have no taste whatsoever.

I bet you don't like this either, do you?

Stop it. Take this. Quality.

Paradise City ... Bolton

I really hope that video was done by someone from Bolton with a well developed sense of irony but I fear it's the work of someone like Copper Dragon........

(Although I think that Copps quite likes us, so he wouldn't be so cruel..........)

Bolton's a dump nowadays, isn't it......?

Yes and the new interchange they are going to build etc will be a hub for more people to get out of Bolton and not the other way round as the council think.

When I take the Mrs shopping, we simply jump on a train and head to Manchester as the city center is much nicer and there's tons of choice shopping and food wise!

I am taking tomorrow off so we are doing a bit of Xmas shopping there tomorrow.

The last time I was in Bolton town centre, I was walking towards where the elephants used to be across the road from Newport st and they now have a Home Bargains on the corner which seems to attract chavs drinking directly outside.
