The Christmas Post

Christmas is in full swing now, and without getting all bah humbug its a pain in the ass. The gypsies are in the town centre dragging half dead under-nourished lambs behind them, and asking you to stroke them for good luck. God knows how that's supposed to bring you good luck and for 20,000 lei I wasn't going to find out.

The worst thing about the Christmas period however is the music being played everywhere. Some bright spark in this fine city has decided it would be a good idea to pipe the festive sounds through Bucharest's subway system, so now we have Bing Crosby sounding like he's stuck down a mine shaft as 'White Christmas' pops and hisses from the metro's tannoy system. Jesus Christ indeed!

As an alternative to Bing and the boys, i offer you a cheeky little number which steals LCD Soundsystem's seminal "I'm Losing My Edge", adds some christmas bells, adapts the lyrics and voila "I'm Losing My Sledge"
