    Well, the Eastenders theme has been hailed time and again (and with good reason!) as one of the most powerful TV series anthems ever: the Ten Drums have become rightly famous as being immediately recognisable.


    Doesn't stop me from hating it with every fibre of my body though.


    I agree but you're too young to remember that there was a time that it was actually good.

    My bad shame

    Bono is a god, he wears those yellow glasses so that mankind can gaze upon his face without being incinerated.

    Well, this thread has been treading uncharted waters for me. More names that I'd never heard of than in a phone book.

    But what's about to make my day better: today is the building-wide designated day for office parties. Don't expect much serious work from me today. Expect much eating.

    In Norway, we have a tradition called Julebord ("Christmas Table"), hailing back to medieval times, where various groups of people meet to eat and drink (workplaces, friends etc.) around Christmas time. It starts as early as November and is a source of controversy because it's one of those times when the secretary hits on the boss or vice versa (for example....not to mention the raving drunk people in the streets). It's certainly a sight.

    Currently, I'm preparing for the first out of two such Christmas tables in a row. Today is my workplace....300 people, a penthouse restaurant overlooking Oslo and lots of celebrities (obviously, since I work in a TV production company). Tomorrow is another, but with 15 of my friends at a restaurant. And there's a work day inbetween! Requires some stamina, for sure.

    Any such traditions in your country?
    I am extremely serious.

    We are now developing a new custom called working on Xmas Day to bring in extra money. I've just gotten the word from two people that I know.

    I love the rain except when it's freezing. I'm glad to say the weather is mild here now, last week it was freezing and care needed to be taken walking down the street.

    Our problem in San Diego is that when we get rain it comes in inches and the ground can't absorb the water fast enough.
