so here it is

helloooo, oh, ho ho ho, there


'tis Christmas Day, to be sure, so it is, look you see.

for many of us this is a day of celebration, of time with family and friends, for time to contemplate family and friends not with us, and to be merry.

also, though, it is a time of Slade.

yes, no, that is a picture of my dear sister and her offspring, rather than Slade. but they are having a bit of a boogie and a singalong to Slade in the above image.

indeed i do have video to prove as much, and here it is.

nice to know that Noddy, Dave and them other two what were in the band (i am pretty sure one was called Don) have some new fans!

me? a bit of Slade, to be sure. but also my usual traditions. i have indeed played the magnificent b-side to the 12" of The Power Of Love off of Frankie Goes To Hollywood, so i have been blessed by Holly, Paul and The Lads. also, i have played the very finest Christmas recording of The King, Elvis Presley what Poundland had available. to finish, of course, i watched a screening of Chas & Dave Christmas Cockney Knees Up, featuring Chas, Dave, Lennie Peters and others, although suspiciously the Jim Davidson bit would appear to have been edited out.

anyway, get on with whatever you do for Christmas!




be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
