    ... while "0x31" would be the day of the month on which Christmas falls.
    The 49th? Hey guys, wolfie just gifted you with another 24 days of dealing with demented shoppers!

    (now 31 octal...)

      My bad - been a while since I did any programming, and didn't use octal. Can't remember the prefix to show a number was Octal.

        And Christmas music has hit a new low....

        Browsing in yon Kmart last night and I heard "silent night" (or at least I think it was silent night) done in a country and western style. Very. Very. Badly.

            There is one, and only one, Xmas song that I will listen to at any time of the year, on repeat, with a smile on my face.

            "Fairytale of New York" by the Pogues, featuring the late Kirsty MacColl

            http://www.pogues.com/Releases/Lyric...Fairytale.html

            Imagine howling that out at top volume along with the radio as the partner of the firm decides to wander into your office... then imagine the partner grinning and joining in with the last chorus!

              "Fairytale of New York" by the Pogues,
              Awesome tune, but a smile? It's such a sad song. I almost always tear up at "and kept 'em with my own..."

                I don't tend to have much sympathy for drunken emoting (bad family history), and coming off of belting out:

                You're a bum
                You're a punk
                You're an old slut on junk
                Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
                You scumbag, you maggot
                You cheap lousy faggot
                Happy Christmas you arse
                I pray God it's our last


                it's hard to bring the mood back down into empathy. I just love the contrast to all the smaltzy crap that pollutes the airwaves at this time of year. This is when I bemoan the fact that the anti-shock has gone on my car CD player, so I'm not going to be able to blast my highly seasonal AC/DC, Queen and The Jam At least my home stereo is still working so I can dress the tree to the traditional Headbanger's Bible...

                    If you have an iPod, get an iPod-> car audio device. Plug into cigarette lighter. Set it to a particular station. Boom

                      At the moment I'm saving up to replace the car stereo (would you believe they don't do repairs any more? One perfectly good radio/CD system in the bin because of one frigging part) after, of course, family Christmas presents, so I can't justify spending out on something I'll only use until I've got the model I want (which includes a plug for MP3 players).
