Me: You couldn't pay me to listen to a Billy Joel LP.

Also me: This 4hr 40min Billy Joel documentary on Sky is great!

Still me: I'd happily never listen to Led Zeppelin ever again.

Me too: This two-hour Led Zeppelin documentary on Sky is fucking interminable.

TEACHER:
Ok children

TEACHER:
Now the next hymn we're going to sing is one of your favourites...

[she puts the words to a hymn up on the interactive whiteboard. It's title is]:

'Better-Off Families Should Pay Less For Their Summer Holidays'

CHILDREN;
Yay!

4
[the children all sing]:

God made the cloud of starlings
God made the flock of sheep

5
God made the kids at private school
Get holidays for cheap

6
God made the herds of Land Rovers
That stream across the plain

7
Two weeks before the rest of us
For cut-price stays in Spain!

[show exterior of the school, while Land Rovers stream past it down the road, with surfboards and bikes on top]

8
God made the two-tier system
God made the Hidden Hand

9
God made two weeks in Bog-nor
Cost upwards of two grand!

11
Aaaaaaa-meeeeeen...!

TEACHER:
Very good children

IN BRUGES was released 17 years ago this week. Acclaimed as one of the great black comedies of the century and the film that kick started the McDonagh/Farrell/Gleeson triumvirate, the making of story is as beautiful as the city it’s set in…
