I HOPE YOU'RE NOT HAVING A BLUE MONDAY


The day after Christmas can sometimes be a bit of an anti-climax. I hope it is not the case with you dear readers.

The folk I feel sorry for are those in the retail sector. They probably finished at 6pm on Saturday night after about three or four weeks in a row without a day off during which time they dealt with customers who were clueless and often rude. I certainly saw some supermarket check-out staff get a mouthful of abuse because the shop had the temerity to have run out of some foodstuffs and those who left it till the last minute were disappointed and in some cased angry.

Over here, 26th December is referred to as Boxing Day. Thought I'd find a track with a tenuous link to the theme of boxing for today...and that linked in with the day of the week. It was one of three on a belter of a CD single from 1990:-

mp3 : Happy Mondays - Wrote For Luck (Vince Clarke mix)
mp3 : Happy Mondays - Wrote For Luck (Paul Oakenfold Mix)
mp3 : Happy Mondays and Karl Denver - Lazyitis - one armed boxer

Enjoy.
