How strange! I've just looked up Peter Kay and although he was born and bred in Bolton Lancashire, he too is of Irish descent!

I can't get my head round this obsession with buying a 'Christmas jumper' and wearing it everywhere. My husband wants one now. I told him he'd look a twat but he still eyes them longingly. I suppose he'd better get one. But I'm not having him prancing about in reindeer antlers or pixie ears.
