Christ-gash Christmas episode!
episode news
christmas special!
We're going to cave into (our own) demand and bring SPONGE CAKE and MULLED WINE into the studio for consumption next week for a RARA CHRISTMAS PARTY! Although, when we say consumption we'll have to check with health and safety that it's OK to do so. Even if it isn't we might do it anyway because we're WILD and CANNOT BE STOPPED, but if we're REALLY not allowed then perhaps we can be stopped...but I'm sure it'll all kosher 'cause it's 'The Holidays' and you can get away with most things. Remember your last day at school before the holidays kicked off? Perhaps you'd bring in a game of Guess Who or get to wear your own clothes? That was MENTAL. Imagine you were allowed to do whatever you wanted whenever you wanted, it would be CARNAGE. But, hell, we're gonna do it. This Christmas Special:
THERE. ARE. NO. RULES.*
*except perhaps the rule that we'll probably be playing christmas songs and talking about Christmas related crap, but you never can tell. See aforementioned comment on the presence of Rules.

| David plays a jazz lounge version of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, which is quite hard to sing along to solo when you've not actually practised it and you're not sure of the melody or words. That aside, our Isobel Campbell impersonator imposter gives it a shot. We chat with the McGreeg about Christmas, diabetes and Jesus. MERRY CHRISTMAS! | |
