Thaitin sé sin liom.

Ah that makes sense all right. Even so, it's still pretty impressive if the I Believe... song was the first explicit use of it as a Christmas theme.

That's mental!

Do you know something? Spill it.

Sorry, I wasn't passing that off as fact; I was just presuming that it hadn't. Vaguely remember it being discussed on a Favourite Christmas Singles programme but I don't know what the verdict was. It'd be mad if its Christmas popularity was solely down to its use on that single, though, because it's so damn Christmassy.

That's a strange one. No Christmas connexions before he lifted it for that song, presumably, and now it's one of the top three or four evocative Christmas pieces. I was all set to propose that he must have subconsciously made the link after hearing it in the snowy Love and Death ... but apparently the song predates the fillum (stupid Google) and on reflection the fillum wasn't even that snowy. Think I remember a talking head explaining it in one of those Channel 4 programmes.

The Amazing Spider-Man—enjoyed it. Hadn't heard much about it except it was a bit of a reboot. Thought Andrew Garfield was great and there were couple of bits I really liked in it, I was in the zone so I totally got sucked into all of those little suspense-moments. There was a great little Spidey's-eye-view shot of mid-air webslinging which I don't think had been used in any of the other films ... probably wrong ... haven't seen the third Raimi one. Might be watching The Bourne Legacy to-night but I'm not looking forward to it really.

Dick. The nuances of their personal relationship don't come into it on Twitter. We need to employ a Twitter tutor for the squad, never mind psychiatrists.

Didn't think there was a thread on this at all. Did Brendan Rodgers wear a poppy at the Chelsea match? It wasn't on his coat but presumably he had it somewhere as there would have been a fuss.

KAMF vs Stanley Leisure? Was that not staged?

There's plenty of theological wrangling in it so far to get me in the mood for the festive season, it's just soooooooo looooooong that I'll be reading it until Easter.

Started The Karamazov Brothers afer buying it on impulse the other week. Ridiculous commitment to make in the run-up to Christmas.

Finally saw No Country for Old Men last night. Loved it. Watched that too, thought a lot of it was well done and I liked his performance but

I know what you mean but there hasn't been any issues so far. Low-fat milk, and not much of it, is what I use on the oaty cereal. Except the other morning when I put the milk in the glass and poured orange juice on the cereal like in a hackneyed comedy sketch. Ate the cereal even though it was like plugging my teeth into the mains, as someone put it on here a few weeks ago in respect of eating Skittles or something. I'd say it wouldn't have been pretty in the tummy if I had tried to neck the glass of milk after that all right.

Congrats, Bailo. Often meant to ask during cooked-breakfast discussions here; at which stage of the proceedings do people drink their juice and then their tea/coffee? Recently I've just been having a quarter of a glass of orange juice first of all to get the appetite going, then cereal, then the tea goes on while I start on whatever hot stuff there is, then the first cup of tea while I'm finishing that, then another cup when I'm finished. Used to be lots of orange juice throughout the breakfast and then tea when everything else was done (sometimes after a little gap :wafc:). (During the week it's just a shot of o.j., the oaty cereal is lashed down while dressing, and fruit is stuffed into pockets running out the door.)
