    I'll give you Arthur Christmas but not Hark The Herald Angels, as that is about the (supposed) birth of Jesus which, even if true, didn't happen in December. Just sayin', like.

    I get your point, however as Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ whatever your opinion on the belief system behind it, then Hark The Herald Angels is a quintisential Christmas song.

    I ask because some people claim it is a Christmas song but then say Die Hard isn't a Christmas film.

    I suppose it depends on each person's own definition of a Xmas song (or film). To me, they're both just set at Xmas. Same as Home Alone. You could set them all at different times of year without changing the stories (except for the weather).

    Just heard on ITV news that the dearly departed Shane was one of the greatest songwriters of his generation. :wacko:

    With the utmost respect, I find that very hard to believe.

    Anyhow, thanks for one of the annual Christmas songs that will always immortalise you. 

    Is it a Christmas song or a song set at Christmas?

    For me, it’s more about the progress. We know things are too expensive & have changed our operating model to be more cost effective. Don’t think anyone expected we’d be able to fully implement that in one year, after last years results. 
     

    The results show we aren’t the finished article but it’s a big step in the right direction. It’ll probably be two or three seasons of work behind the scenes before we are fully in a position to take the sort of hits that would come with a poor season. These changes are rarely (if ever) instant. 
     

    Overall, these results for me say that we have been able to take a far bigger than expected step in the right direction, because we had such a strong season. 

    I would wholeheartedly agree with this rather than your earlier controversial statement, it is good that all owners of the club are contributing to the improvement in fiscal matters but your original statement to me belittles the impact of our new CEO, Lasley is making the difference, not alone but he appears to be in charge and rightly so.

    Some of the larger ones are really nice, our friends have two dogs and they said they can be a pain at night in a smaller van but with the awning up the dogs are happy as larry during the day. Hope you get something.
