I don't particuarly like Christmas. I'll cop it because everybody else seems to love it, but there's one thing about the season that shits me up the wall about the festive season.

Bloody Christmas songs - i'm not talking about your traditional carols but those really awful Xmas Rock songs by people like Doug Parkinson and Kevin Borich that nobody has cared about since 1978. They usually take the form of singing about "Christmas Down-Under" and can be heard in major department stores from December 1 to 24.

And somebody tried to claim to me today that "In The Ghetto" by Elvis is an Xmas song. How? Somebody dies in it, what's so lovely and festive about that?

People eh? Can't live with them, can't kill them (unless you're Robert Mugabe)
