    B0llocks. There are very few people that I can name who think about Christmas along the lines of Christ's birthday.

    All everyone I know wants to do is get drunk and have a good time over the holiday period. Can't get much more pagan (Bacchanalian) than that.

    It may be "officially" a Christian festival now, but the vast majority of people still celebrate it in a pagan way.

    Yes, don't get me wrong Pinto - I have absolutely no problem with her making her slice and I agree: if the demand (whether stimulated or not) exists, then there's money to be made.

    It's John Noel Management that I think are the smart ones treating these celebs as commodities to the masses and well done to them for making money.

    However, Jade Goody is still thick.

    Christmas has very little to do with Christianity historically, it is a celebration of the winter solstice.

    Can't agree or disagree, as I don't know what you're on about. I'm not a fan of Jade or Jordan, but just because they're ignorant does not make them thick.

    They're both doing rather well, and keep on manipulating their status with the general populace to amass further wealth. To me, that's enterprising...

    It's the general populace feeding their wealth that are thick.

I had four training sessions, that's all I did. At most I could run half an hour on a treadmill."

    Before the race she said:

    "I've been eating curry and chinese and drinking."
