All I want for Christmas is...

Dear Santa,

Merry Christmas Santa I hope you, Mrs Santa, all the elf's and reindeer are well? Have you been affected by the floods much? Thank you for my presents last year. In particular the Boyzone tickets. I've been a good girl more or less this year. I cut down on my carbon foot print for example. I know I'm not meant to ask for anything big but if you could end the recession that'd be nice or call a general election even. I figure if you can get that girl in Miracle in 34th Street a Father, home and baby brother (I love that movie) it shouldn't be too hard? But no pressure I understand you're really busy and everything with baby boom and the north pole melting...

This year I'll like some books or box-sets or maybe some nice things for my pets I know it's more a gift for them but since I'll end up buying them anyway...

I'd love a really nice hutch for CJ (see Cast list) it'd give me more space in the living room and she'd get loads of space to run about as well as a big bed of hay (which makes me sneeze)



I'm really interested in Gerald Manley Hopkins poetry but I've nothing on him so maybe a book of his poetry or set me up with Douglas Adams stuff like the HItchhikers Guide.




Box-sets wise I'm still trying to finish my Star Trex DS9 collection and I've yet to start on my Doctor Who collection!



My ultimate Crimbo prezzie I've stolen from Disney's Lady and the Tramp...



It's not very practical I know! but maybe someday...

My Party Piece


Jeez louise I have to thank Jedward and X Factor's George Michael/Wham! week for reminding me of when I used to sing the Wham Rap at school (I randomly remember standing on a desk), I even auditioned for Fiddler on the Roof with the Wham Rap and got called back for the principal cast. Really rather morto! but I'm actually proud of what a deluded yet rather confident 13 year old I was. I might sing/rap/shout this at singing class for a laugh next week to break up everyone else's Mariah Carey and Westlife renditions but I won't be jumping on any tables! Try and sing/ rap/ shout the below or just think of me in my wine uniform and odd socks...



"Wham! Rap"

Hey everybody take a look at me,
I've got street credibility,
I may not have a job,
But I have a good time,
With the boys that I meet "down on the line"

I DON'T NEED YOU
So you don't approve,
Well, who asked you to?
HEY, JERK YOU WORK
This guy's got better things to do
HELL
I ain't never gonna work, get down in the dirt
I choose, to cruise
I'm a soul boy - I'm a dole boy -
Take pleasure in leisure, I believe in joy!

WHAM!
BAM!
I AM!
A MAN!
JOB OR NO JOB
YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT I'M NOT
DO!
YOU!
ENJOY WHAT YOU DO?
IF NOT
JUST STOP!
One, two, three, rap!
C'mon everybody, DON'T NEED THIS CRAP!

IF YOU'RE A PUB MAN
OR A CLUB MAN
MAYBE A JET BLACK GUY WITH A HIP HI-FI
A WHITE COOL CAT WITH A TRILBY HAT
MAYBE LEATHER AND STUDS IS WHERE YOU'RE AT
MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY DAY
DON'T LET HARD TIMES STAND IN YOUR WAY
GIVE A WHAM GIVE A BAM BUT DON'T GIVE A DAMN
'COS THE BENEFIT GANG ARE GONNA PAY!

Now reach up high and touch your soul
The boys from Wham! will help you reach that goal

It's gonna break your mama's heart (so sad)
It's gonna break your daddy's heart (too bad)
Just throw the dice and take my advice
'Cos I know that you're smart
Can you dig this thing? (YEAH!)
Are you gonna get down? (YEAH!)
Say Wham! WHAM!
Say Bam! BAM!

[CHORUS x3]

Do you wanna work
Are you gonna have fun
Do you wanna be a jerk
Are you gonna stay young

Everybody say WHAM!
Say BAM!
Everybody say WHAM!
Say WHAM! BAM!
