An old school friend of mine has a band going in Leicester..
..and is trying to get an Xmas No1 ahead of whoever wins the X-Factor this year. It's probably the only time of year I can't avoid knowing what the No1 single is.

I wouldn't mind a few more decent Xmas singles instead of having to listen to the same compilation CD I bought about 12 years ago. Maybe their time has passed.

Oh yeah, actually that Matt bloke did that Biffy Clyro thing last Christmas didn't he?
I assume that made number 1, so that would be the last one I know.

I have a great time..
..telling Biffy Clyro fans (my eldest son included) that the Cardle version sounds 'just the same as the original, I don't know what you're complaining about'

Your school friend is not going to be Christmas #1
You can avoid knowing what it is, you are not trying hard enough.

Destroy your Christmas compilation CD, it is the only sensible option.

I hope this helps.

You're right, he's not
I'll try harder

I will not. It is a 2CD one and we lost CD1 a few years ago so I ORDERED ANOTHER ONE!!! (Magic of Christmas™)
