I went to a Carol service tonight, for the first time in my life. I don't hear carols sung very often - carollers don't come to our door very much, I think due largely to my dad - and I wanted to do something Christmassy, since at the moment I'm spending most of my time in Dragon Age world and it isn't Christmas there. It was quite nice, but I think I was expecting more of a choir performing for my benefit, and it was in fact a service. It ended with a slight tinge of anti-semitism and islamophobia, and we had a slightly disturbing reading where the response to every line was "But that did not stop the birth" - mostly a warning to low-income pregnant women than anything, but the carols were quite nice. We sang The Angel Gabriel From Heaven Came, which is my favourite, and you don't hear sung very often.

Oh Bianca. (This has become a The Apprentice post). I was very happy she got through last week - it was slightly impossible for her not to when Roisin didn't know anything about food production and Solomon's business plan was pictures. But it was a bit of a shame she didn't know anything about hosiery production and wasn't willing to listen, hopefully she'll do well in the future. Mark chose a team of all men, and the woman who thought all businesswomen should wear short skirts, "for some beauty". Quelle surprise.
