That all looks pretty good to me, but maybe a little too "blokey" for Mrs. P's tastes.

No sign of Cliff being wheeled out this year, but no doubt Michael Buble will make some appearances.

Cliff has been wheeled out celebrating his 60th or such like with a new album I think ? Just when you thought it was safe to come out of the water eh !

Finish up with some episodes of Bilko until the booze runs out then off to kip.

Now that's a proper Xmas.

I'll bring the Quality Street, a proper 8" deep tin.

Oh for God's sake don't let Buble out, he lives in the same hellish box as James Corden and nobody needs him at Christmas.

Michael Buble has more talent in his little finger than Corden has in his entire fat bloated body, and I can't stand Michael Buble. Hopefully he won't have a fall putting up decorations on his house - he'd hit the floor like a water filled balloon, and that would be terrible.

Yes, you have great fun spotting the Zulus wearing wristwatches, and the Land Rover in the distance.

Well it must have been a bugger getting them all to turn up on time.

I didn't know these little facts, so I'll now be looking out for them.

My dad took me to the cinema to see this when I was about eight, must have been about 1966. It was my first sighting of ladys' fun bags

Ladys fun bags? Wot be they?

I'm intrigued....

I used to hate Michael Bublé (or rather his music), as that's how I automatically tend to feel towards such commercially produced music/mainstream artists. However, the more I've listened to his voice and seen him perform, the more I've realised what a good crooner he is.

This is no accident, as his grandfather was Italian, and he grew up listening to his Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra records, so modelled himself on their singing and performing style, which as a big fan of both of those legends, I can recognise in him. He also seems to be a genuinely nice guy, and remarkably down to earth considering what a huge worldwide star he's become.

You just have to accept his music as being a dollop of harmless fromage, and at this time of year can provide the backdrop for some fun festive tunes!

Therefore, I'll no longer be bashing Bublé

So, don't diss da Bubbles, or yer for it......

Marco.
