Happy Thoroughly English Monday

At every possible opportunity to read this morning -- sipping my first cup of coffee, walking on the treadmill, taking a bath (?!), getting dressed, eating breakfast -- I have been enjoying a Premier League preview guide published by today's Guardian newspaper that I printed off the computer.
It avoids traditional preview methods and instead compares each club to types of candy, details the plot of a pretend film about each club and lists which member of the team's WAGS -- wives and girlfriends -- would be most likely to grab tabloid headlines.
In other words, the preview is thoroughly English, in an irreverent, ironic way.
I plan to celebrate this thorough Englishness in song, by listening to the Happy Mondays and their blighty-centric take on dance pop. "24 Hour Party People," "Mad Cyril," and "Bob's Yer Uncle" all present and accounted for.
