Drumming up some trade...
There's been another shocking lack of judgment and taste shown by bosses at ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio 2. It seems that another two of their presenters have recorded something that's going to outrage the nation. The ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ news reports that "Sir Terry Wogan and Aled Jones are to release their version of Bing Crosby and David Bowie hit Little Drummer Boy/Peace On Earth for Christmas."
Now that should give the D***y M**l something to complain about. I can see another 40,000 complaints coming in.
I know that I shouldn't criticise anything that's going to raise money for Children In Need and for radio presenters Terry is the guv'nor, but wasn't the Bing and Bowie version bad enough?
Maybe when we do our Christmas Eve show we should compile a montage of Christmas cringers. Any contenders?

You have glossed over the fact that the b side is I think Ken Bruce and Donald Wheres Your Troosers.
And they forgot the wee bit at the end where Bing says "pretty thing, isn't it"

Last century, i used to play at the end of the night to clear the floor at the Double A in airdrie..... until the clientele decided it was the choon du jour and would ask for it incessantly so I had to revert to UK subs "Warhead" as the floor clearer... did it work?.... like snow aff a drystane dyke!

I can't watch children in need because he pisses me off so much and in fact most peopel I know fidn him the same. He's seems to be one of thsoe peopel that always come out ops in polls, but who are the people being polled? certainly not me, nor anyone I have ever known.
