With just over a fortnight until Christmas, I hereby officially concede defeat, and will no longer ban myself from posting Xmas-related links. The first that caught my eye was piece on how the new(ish) rules for the UK Top 40 music chart mean that Christmas hits from the past now stand a good chance of doing well this year. Because nearly all (legal) downloads are now counted in the official chart, music companies no longer need to officially relaunch a track with a real world CD for it to count. Check out the article here.
Secondly, we have news from the Philippines that carol singers are being banned from busy traffic intersections, in the hope that accidents can be reduced. I wouldn’t be overly surprised if they have some official delegation visiting as well, as poor, shoeless, hungry and dirty kids do not present a good image for your country. Lets just hope that they will be able to get their food from somewhere, otherwise ministers may not being getting a good nights sleep when they consider the turkey they’ll be carving on the big day…
