Also the Wizard one and the Slade one.
If you're talking Bing, then 'Let it Snow' is an obvious one, but also 'Silver Bells'.
In other news, I am outraged on the internet about that nurse thing. That's just fucking disgusting. And they were banging on about self regulation of the press last night on QT like it was all that was ever going to be needed.

My mum never had a horse in the first place.

Unbelievable, just disgusting stuff. Basically this woman took her life because of Britain's obsession with celebrity culture. Without which a) the call wouldn't have taken place and b) she wouldn't have felt like it was such a big deal. Obviously she was gullible in the first place and unbalanced but she should never have been put in that position.

But whoever came up with that prank call idea must feel like a fucking cunt.

I bet her phone was ringing off the hook, she had press outside her house and her workplace, and her colleagues / bosses were giving her a hard time over it.
Also, we don't know what her mental state was to begin with. Seriously, there are days when it wouldn't take that much to tip me over the edge.

I was all excited there, I thought one of Ruperts kids had been horribly murdered, or even just died of a preventable illness. But no, it's someone I've never heard of.

Okay, firstly, there is no evidence that this was the reason, she could have had underlying issues, or she might have had an aneurysm for all we know.
secondly, the people making the prank call were Australians broadcasting only to Australia, so it's hardly symptomatic of "Britain's obsession with celebrity culture" is it?

To be honest, anyone who takes an Australian seriously has it coming.
