By the way, it's honor not honour.
Actually, if you're not in the US, it's honour.

Not true.  If DT lists it as "honor" in the booklet, it is "honor" regardless of how any of us normally spell it.

You don't see Americans calling the Floyd song from DSOTM "Any Color You Like," do you?  Nope.  Because the song is called "Any Colour You Like," so we spell it that way, because that is how the artist spelled it.
You didn't read my whole post, did you..?

It's a quote from a James Joyce novel, he was Irish, so it's honour!

You don't call Inglourious Basterds Inglorious Bastards, either, even though it's totally misspelled.

I would never play one of DT's worst songs.  It would ruin my christmas morning.

I didn't read the whole thread, but did we stop talking about 6:00?

Yep -- from the short story "The Dead," in a passage where a woman reflects on having wasted her time singing in the Christmas choir, as she sees it, when the Pope announces that women no longer can sing in the choir. What has she been doing all these years? Appropriate when you consider the subject material of the song.

Also, the quote is from the movie version of "The Dead," which is quite good in its own right. I believe it was John Huston's last film, and as he was an Irish citizen (although American by birth) and the writers and cast were all Irish and adapting an Irish story, the screenplay no doubt spelled it "honour". Now we're really splitting hairs ;D

Flying the nerd flag high... :)

The thing is that for all we know, the only nugget fanatic (and that includes the "something special" event at 6 am on Christmas) in DT was MP. Now that MP is no longer part of the band, why should anything like this happen?

Yeah, that was the impression I got.
