Carol service faux pas

[Deportivo Seagull]

At my daughters Brownie carol service I made a slight Faux pas ..

During 'Hark the Heralds Angels sing' I got to 'we will fight' before being kicked in the shin by my wife .....

Did you sing 'Away in a manger' too, and if so, what did the little Lord Jesus say ?

I was at midnight mass some years ago....the choir started singing Away in a Manger and some pissed up bloke in the back started singing the "palace " version ....I also think his girfriend elbowed him to shut him up as it went something like.......

"...the little Lord Jesus, sat up and he said

we...uuuugh....ooow"

Was your faux pas also linking those words to the wrong song since the chant stems form 'Mary's Boy Child'.

I did't know Dick Knight went to the same church as you..

My little girl is playing "Mary" in the nativity tomorrow - my little piece of good fatherly advise was to boot the baby into the crowd at the end, reveal her Albion shirt whilst shouting "seagulls, seagulls" as loud as she can

Is this wrong !?!?!

I had a nasty moment the other week at my sons Saturday morning football, where I took my instinctive terrace reaction into the totally inappropriate world of U8's football.

Wild shot gets hit, and it flies in the direction of the dads. As usual, that's the moment for someone to show off their prowess, that they haven't lost it etc. However, it falls to the dad a couple to my right who goes to bring the ball down gracefully, but it hits his ankle and bounces about 5 yards away from him. I blurt out "ha ha, touch of a rapist".

The looks I got for that weren't pretty!!!

you sir are correct ... it was indeed the above carol , but with my singing it could have been any number of others ....

I was thinking that. I don't know a Brighton song containing the words "we will fight" to the tune of "Hark the Herald Angels sing". I could be wrong (and I await enlightenment) but in the meantime I've made one up:
"Hark the herald angels sing,
We will fight, and then buy bling."
(Yeah, ok, it needs a bit of work.)

I agree with you though. If I was at a carol concert and the bloke next to me launched into a version of "Mary's boy child" (even with the correct words) when he should have been singing 'Hark the Herald Angels' I think I'd have switched pews sharpish.

No he sang "Away in a Minger"...

We're walking along, singing a song .....

In principle not wrong...but it could make her a hit on YouTube!

Unfortunately I wasn't there, but a few years ago an infants school nativity play in Yorkshire made the papers. It was one where the kids were asked to make up there own lines, in their natural dialogue, and at one point that went -
Joseph: Well Mary lass, 'ow's ar little baby Jesus then?
Mary: Eh Joseph, 'e's been a reet little boogger all day.

we need the original words, and alternatives, to really compare..
