As we count down to waving goodbye (at last) to another bizarrely depressing year - despite the waning of the dreaded 'Rona, we had instead that bastard Putin's invasion of Ukraine, three Prime Ministers, a global financial crisis and the death of our Monarch to deal with - it's time for the last of our traditional end-of-the-week-jollies!
We do, of course, have a proper party to look forward to tomorrow for New Year's Eve - but on a day when it's not only the birthdays of Rudyard Kipling, Tracey Ullman, Patti Smith, Tiger Woods, Russ Tamblyn, Sister Bliss, Bo Diddley, Jeff Lynne, Sir Carol Reed, Del Shannon, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Gordon Banks, Skeeter Davis, Jay Kay of Jamiroquai, Ellie Goulding, and - erm - "Hollywood Madam" Heidi Fleiss, but also those of not one, but two dearly departed Monkees (Davy Jones and Mike Nesmith), it would be churlish not to feature a number by said band...
I defy anyone not to tap their feet to that - and Thank Disco Made-for-television-boy-bands It's Friday!
Have a great and grand New Year's weekend, dear reader!
