...the true king of Christmas songs, Stay Another Day by East 17. 

You must be loving the LIDL ad.

SAVE NOW isn't the same JB.

Heard Wizzard blasting outside my house. Turns out Santa's popped down my road.

Apologies for the shit photo, they were knocking doors and I was hiding upstairs ?

I think I'm going to watch the Christmas episode of The Bear this year.

Nothing says Christmas like a couple of Poundland elves and a shaven gorilla.

[Dr. Alan Grant]

I’m not a fan of Christmas puddings, mince pies or Christmas cake. But I do like Christmas dinner itself. 
 

I love the movies, with Muppet Christmas Carol, Home Alone 1 & 2 and a handful of others getting an airing in my house every year. I don’t bother with Christmas telly other than Coronation Street and I hear the same old Xmas songs in my job so often that I pretty much can’t stand any except for John Lennon and Stop The Cavalry. 
 

I do all my shopping online because I can’t handle the crowds. I’m 75% a Grinch, 25% a fatty who just wants to eat chocolate whilst watching Michael Caine singing until January until it’s all over.

Stay Another Day is about Tony Mortimer’s brother’s suicide, which makes it a very odd choice for a Lidl ad.

 It does explain why it’s just a haunting and melancholic Xmas song though, as it’s not really about Xmas at all. it’s

Ryan O’Neal had a lovely late gig playing a character on Bones, which was a bit of a blanket watch for Mrs Loki and I during lockdown.

 But all accounts rather hard to deal with in his prime, it was nice to see him having fun on a telly show. it’s

Loki, this is the second time today you've ended your post with "it's" and then nothing else.

Do you have narcolepsy?

[Loki]

That's very odd.  I can only assume that it's some odd predictive text issue on my phone!  Both those posts were made on that device.

[Loki]

Test.

Edit: whatever it was it's not happening now.  Also, stop stalking me. ?

If you go in Lidl at the wrong time suicide can often look like the best way out. it's

When I read the word "It's" on its own, my brain automatically starts playing the Monty Python theme.

Feels like Christmas now.

What the fuck?! Did they get in to the machine that makes it? That will make an interesting episode of Inside the Factory
