A good song, certainly festive and definitely something you can lay claim to owning and playing without looking desperate but isn't it a little...ummm..'mainstream', I hear you cry? Well, I've just got back from a Christmas party - not mine; I have no company or business any more so I had to make do with a sympathy invite - and I'm a little worse for wear, so I'm going to let you into a little secret. *Glances around surreptitiously*
I once worked with a girl who was Jona Lewie's ex-girlfriend, and one Christmas long-long ago, me and said female - a comely wench - had a drunken fumble and tongue evening after the company Christmas party. So, assuming she and Jona's relationship was more than just platonic - I never asked you understand - then I reckon I can claim a Christmas hit by osmosis.
Why do I feel I will regret that story in the morning...?
Born at an early age a mere defenders' spit from the Boleyn ground, Billy Blagg has seen every West Ham game from 1898 onwards. Blagg was mentioned by Kenneth Wolstenholme in 1966 as one of the people on the pitch during the famous Hammers win over West Germany that lifted the World Cup and he returned to the pitch again for the 1975 FA Cup Final but stayed on the terrace for 1980 FA Cup victory. Blagg, 26, now lives with his eighth wife and innumerable children in a small semi-detached with chintz curtains in Dagenham, Essex and still attends every Hammers match and training session.
