Parsnip Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I don't care about the visual content of the advert - but this version of Golden Slumbers by Elbow is just perfect. Guy Garvey's a genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Did anybody have “Boy, you’re going to carry that weight, carry that weight a long time” running through their minds when that song ended ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The combination of the great song and Garvey’s interpretation of it makes it a potential Christmas number one for me (if they release it as a single) He’s done a good job the boy.

Sith Happens Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Apparantly the tesco advert is getting criticism for having a muslim family appear in it: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/tesco-christmas-advert-2017-muslim-family-feature-twitter-christian-feeling-a8046396.html Ive seen it and it never even occured to me, plus ive worked with Muslims who really enjoy the Christmas period and festivities.

Nothing wrong with a Muslim family celebrating Winter Fest. and Mr Singh and family looked as if they were enjoying their turkey dinner in the advert. I'm sure they will all get as much pleasure from seeing their kids opening their prezzies, as all the Christian families will.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Of course Muslims love Christmas. A lot of the time it's time and a half on the taxi meter, if not double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was discussing with my wife the other day what we would donif we lived in a mostly Muslim country, like Malaysia. Would we celebrate Christmas and ignore Eid. The answer was no. In fact we’d orobably go all out for Eid, and just keep Christmas as a little pressie and a turkey dinner, and be the weird Christians down the road. I think it would be crap for the kids if everyone at school is celebrating one thing and getting boatloads of presents, and my kids aren’t. So we’d embrace Eid I think. Also, it would explain how Sabra Claus delivers all those presents in one night. He doesn’t, he goes to different places st different times of the year. Anyway, Moz the Monster, made me cry. He gives him a gift he knows will make him disappear. That’s so sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Ram Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I spent last Xmas in the UAE and it was more Chistmassy than here to be honest, they love the whole thing. Xmas markets, Christmas Trees everywhere, really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything goes in Malaysia - they're rightly proud of their peaceful diversity. I lived there for 6 months and always thought i'd end up there. Then i met Mrs Parsnip and everything went tits up.

Someone's got to work over the festive season. Better than that bearded weirdo who claims to work just one day a year, and lives in an offshore tax haven the other 364 days. Edit. For clarity, I mean Santa Claus, not Richard Branson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
