God no, I just hope everyone stays well, imagine if you got norovirus on Christmas eve and then spending Christmas in the bathroom...happened to me at Easter a couple of years back.

So I've just heard that the part of the answer to global warming is the Irish people eating less meat.

Because the irish 4million inhabitants are so significant in the earth co2 production.

Anyone who believes that the entire climate change saga is not a government money making scam with the added bonus impose controls on your personal living routines has their heads firmly lodged in a bucket.

I heard somebody say on the radio the other day that the last time that parts of The Shannon were properly dredged was when the British were here.

A lad in the pub told me that the job the Vikings did on the rivers made the Brits look like amateur hour.

Noddy managed to get through her interview/blame game sh1te talk without nodding once.

Just imagine the amount of silt that has built up on the river beds since but we can't touch it because some pen pusher in the EU says so.

So Mary Robinson after rushing off from your dinner with the Clintons to catch a private jet taking you to the council of elders meeting with a short layover to drop a xmas present to Tony Blair and his wife, and as you skyped Bono and Bob Geldof into the call, whilst just checking the bank balance for the 3 pensions, whilst also trying to track down Peter Sutherland (Chair of Goldman Sachs) special envoy on migration for the UN to discuss what sauce to have your chef put on your turkey .... where do you think WE all went wrong on climate change and the refugee crisis.

The Louis Walsh interview was the same, almost exactly word for word, as the interview he had done with Pat Kenny on the radio earlier in the day.

Even if you hadn't heard it, why bother?

'Stop the Calvary' by Jona Lewis isn't even about Christmas, it just sounds Christmassy with all the trumpets.

And the line "Wish I was at home for Christmas"...

Looking at that list again, I'm surprised Wizzard aren't on there - 'I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday' is just as ubiquitous as Slade.

Good point. That article looks a bit thrown together, probably not reliable at all.

Although another quick search throws up this:

Asked on Radio 4’s Today programme how much the song made him every year, the 68-year-old said yesterday: ‘Not as much as it used to.
‘With the invention of downloads, with a record such as mine it’s just too easy to find a way of getting it for nothing and then we don’t get paid for it.’

He added: ‘I thought originally that was going to be my pension, but no.
'I was speaking to my daughter about it – she is more of an age group that knows about that kind of thing – and she said with a song as prominent as that, there are too many ways to get it free.’

Hmmm. Not convinced by that, Roy.

Mark Radcliffe should make a Documentary on the murky World of Royalties for BBC Four. I know he did a similar one already, but there must be a story to be told about who is getting rewarded, and who got ripped off.

You can have hours of fun debating whether MMA is a real Sport, If Northern Ireland Athletes should be getting awards and if women are under (or over) represented at the RTE awards. Mostly with people who wouldn't normally post here on Saturday Nights.

1. It's not
2. They shouldn't as it stands, but ideally the country would be united, and then they should
3. More women

Right, now what?
