And I hadn't realised that it takes so long to buffer - but i reckon its worth the wait though.
I'm listening to Joss Stone on my Itunes, she doesn't get put on pause for anyone! I may listen to it later

It was autobrographical, yes

it also tells you my age by the choice of songs and my musical tastes (and the change in them)
Then - Splodgenessabounds, PIL, SLF, Sham 69, the monks
Now - Joss Stone

Growing Old, who needs it!

I even (sad to admit) looked up the lyrics before I posted and there seems to be no link whatsoever with Christmas.

For petes sake, baby its cold outside is about trying to get her outside so he can shag her - it maybe a christmas tradition but I cant find it listed amonst crackers and Christmas trees anywhere!

Jona Lewis sneaks in on a technicality because one of the lines is "wish I could be home for Christmas"

Millenium Prayer anyone! anyone? what the heck
Angels. You know, those things up in heaven who live with baby Jesus' dad? Well Christmas is aforementioned baby's birthday. Just a loose connection dont you think?

Not sure that the guy who was pimping for Take That last week should be taking the piss for someone liking Joss Stone

As for the song, well it's a bit cheesy, so will prolly be #1 at christmas.

RE: Joss Stone. Her music grates me the same way that Sheryl Crow does. She's not soul, she's just boring as ****.

Power of Love. Pretty much a case of FGTH going for a xmas #1 at the time. Does remind of xmas though. Trying to BMX on black ice on christmas day...ah memories of childhood.
