Nope - missed that one. What side was it on?
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

It's worse than that - at first I thought the posting was about a folk song by someone like Joan Baez!Millymollymandy wrote:Showing your age Milims I say that too. Cos I remember when there weren't many 'sides'!

Re: the ballad of jack and rose
I decided I liked the sound of it so I found it on youtube. I'd recommend it, it's really rather poigniant. In fact it's one I'd watch again. Thank you for mentioning it UA!

Re: the ballad of jack and rose
I guess it kind of depends on the age of the kids - mine are teens and I don't really think that there was anything in it that they wouldn't see in Hollyoaks ( ), but I wouldn't let them watch it 'cos I'd have to spend ages answering their daft questions!Urban Ayisha wrote:ermmm its not exactly your cheesy hollywood christmas fayre, but yeah, its poignant and worth a watch! not one for the kids though! beautifully human and daniel day lewis is a right dish!!
