For Twitter users, there are some
s in this thread started by the BBCSSO:
‘Composer in a Christmas song’…
Ades-te Fidelis
It’s the Holst wonderful time of the year/It’s the most wonderful time of the Weir
I’m dreaming of a Scheidt Christmas
etc etc
You get the idea…
Marc-André Hamelin’s Mahler/Mel Tormé mashup is very clever!"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Two builders were standing on scaffolding, knocking nails into a wall. One of the guys kept tossing nails over his shoulder on to the ground. The other guy says, 'Why do you keep throwing nails away?'
'They've got their points at the wrong end,' says the first guy.
'Don't be an idiot!' shouted his mate. 'We can use them on the other side of the house.'

Other character: Take my card.
Eccles: There's nothing on it.
Other character: Look on the other side.
Eccles: Why did you have printed on the back?Comment
