Today is Christmas day. My understanding is that there are no civilian flights through Irish airspace on Christmas day, so what were those high-flying aircraft I saw go by? More bomb fodder for Iraq, or more prisoners for the torture camps of the secret gulag?
Bros were on TOTP2 on Xmo eve. In retrospect they are even shiter than I can remember. They are completely devoid of any musiciany or vocal talent. The songs (written for them) are lameness incarnated. They look like members of the Aryan Thrust, with suspicious crotch enhancements. And instead of dancing they jerk spasmodically, like dead chickens with the gush.

Secular Christmas tunes = "Last Christmas" (particularly since it was originally "Last Easter", according to, er, Wikipedia), "Fairytale of New York"
even as you sow, so shall you reap.
Any song that starts 'You've read Karl Marx, you've taught yourself to dance, you should go far ...' is a winner.

But is the line not reactionary? The idea seems to be that the person has read Karl Marx, but now they have turned their back on such stodgy pursuits and have learned to dance, suggesting that dancing and Marxism are incompatible.
