One of my favourite books when I was a nipper. "Moby Dick." The first line, I believe, is "Call me, Ishmael!"

That’s the first line of the first chapter, but it’s not the start of the book.

Nope, just the once in the 70s
Forgot about Band Aid! I'll rephrase my question
Which is the only single that has been Christmas number 1 twice performed by the same artist? Means Band Aid, Band Aid II and Band Aid 20 are classed as different artists.

Easy one: when was the last widespread white Christmas in the UK? (Actual snow on the ground in most places not a single flake on the MET office or whatever)

Do you have anything by Tyrannosaurus Rex, (before they shortened it to just T. Rex)? I used to have a vinyl album of theirs titled "Unicorn". Lost that decades ago, but found the CD of it in a charity shop a few years ago. I'd never sell it on now.

Speaking of Christmas jumpers the club shop still has them as 'coming soon'. Leaving it a bit late aren't they?

Not Christmas until i have heard this - goosebumps everytime!
The repetitiveness of Elton's "Step into Christmas" does my fucking head in.
And Beach Boys lyric "Christmas comes this time each year"? No shit Sherlock! FOOK OFF!!!

I was a bus driver in Cov during most of the 1980's. My "summer holiday" always seemed to be around March or April. I can't remember having a Christmas period off either. Just Christmas Day then back on Boxing Day. Then had to work a shift on New Years day, so hats off to you Daz. I bow down to all NHS workers. They've saved my life on four occasions in the past. My niece is a HART paramedic up in Scotland. So proud of her. Her mum (my sister) was killed in a car crash in 1972, and I believe that's why she chose this vocation.
