:: Happy New Year
What the Vicar learned over Christmas:
1. John Culshaw doesn't know the name of the fiddling duo with Dexy's Midnight Runners.
2. Elton now looks like he's rummaging in a sock draw when he plays piano.
3. Amazon gift vouchers don't seem to work.
4. Charlie Brooker says it so you don't have to.
5. You never tire of the Muppet Christmas Carol.
6. With CDs at £17.00 on Christmas Eve, it's not surprising Woolies went to the wall.
7. TOTP should return without delay
(and without Fearne and Reggie).
8. Griff Rhys Jones is no Dennis Norden.
9. Girls Aloud should avoid comedy sketches.
10. Radio 2 needs parishioner Danny Baker.

In the far off days of the 1980's Kowalski, Test Dept and SPK all shunned the use of conventional instruments in favour of metal offcuts, lathes and power tools. You don't get that with Westlife do you?
