Damned if you do (Switch on Xmas lights in Cambridge!!!!)!!!!

Well, here's a couple of things I never expected to see in the 21st century!!!!!

  1. Xmas lights in Cambridge!!!!!!!
  2. Someone famous switching on the Xmas lights in Cambridge!!!!! (Apparently in previous years such personages included the mighty Christopher Biggins!!!!!!!!!!)
  3. A punk rock beat combo who were mainly famous a quarter of a century ago switching on the Xmas lights in Cambridge!!!!!
  4. Various members of the clergy getting hot under the collar about a punk rock beat combo who were mainly famous a quarter of a century ago switching on the Xmas lights in Cambridge!!!!!
But it's happened!!!!! Apparently some bloke from some church is a bit put out at The Damned flicking a switch because "We should not give a major function over to a group that goes out of its way to deny what Christmas is about.". Because as everybody knows, Christopher Biggins switching on a load of fancy lights signalling the onset of the busiest season in a major thoroughfare of concentrated free-market capitalism is exactly what the birth of the Baby Jesus was all about!!!!!

Crikey!!!! Just as well I kept quiet about Sidney Devine switching on the Milton Christmas Lights!!!!!! That funny woman from down the pub would have probably annoyed me for about 34 seconds!!!!!!
