    "Got on a lucky one
    Came in eighteen to one
    I've got a feeling
    This year's for me and you"
    - Fairytale of New York

    "20 ******* five to one
    Me gambling days are done
    I bet on a horse called the "Bottle of smoke"
    And my horse won"
    - Bottle of Smoke

    Something tells me that Mr McGowan might have been on a gambling phase while writing the album...

    His funeral has been televised live on SkyNews all day, don't remember anyone outside royalty getting that. It's been an amazing occasion, that a Catholic Church has surely never seen before.

    *just realised my firestick receives all Irish SKY channels, so that may explain it, may not have been on in the UK!

    We watched some of it, brilliant send off. Never realised Roy Keen doubled up as an Irish priest in his spare time.
