a bottle of whisky and a new set of lies

Christmas adverts really, really piss me off, especially when they are for compilation CDs targeted Straight At Me. There's one doing the rounds at the moment for an album called The Greatest Hits of Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler (or some combination of these words). I turn away with a sneer when I hear the bass line of Money For Nothing, but then it plays a little bit of Romeo and Juliet -- All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme -- and I feel like a sixteen year old all over again and hey, I don't have that album on CD, maybe I should get it, and dream a little dream of lost boys.

Or maybe I should switch off the television set and go and do something less boring instead.
