I think its true to say that Christmas really does bring out the best in all of us. I am reminded of the movie Love Actually where there is a touching voice-over at the start.
At Christmas time we all think of our loved ones, especially when far away from home. Whether we will spend it in their company or be there in spirit, they will always be in our thoughts and in our hearts.
Wherever you are, I hope you have a safe and peaceful Christmas.

A nice warming Chrimbo story
We too have have posted the video of Daniel Mustard, the homeless guy playing Radiohead's "Creep" on the Opie and Anthony radio show. It pretty soon became an Internet phenomenon, making over 1,7 million views. Looks like he's doing a lot better now, he's off the streets and he is singing professionally: with the help of the millions of fans he made on the Internet, he's got a record deal with Story Records.

Ou Est Le Swimming Pool....
Ou Est Le Swimming Pool are an electro pop band based in Camden, London, England. They are most known for their track ‘Dance the Way I Feel’ and the Armand van Helden remix included on several mixes over the summer of 2009.
The band first formed as a three piece in 2008 when late founding member Charles Haddon met up with other members Joe Hutchinson and Caan Capan. Anders Kallmark joined the band soon afterwards.
After a concert at Pukkelpop festival (Kiewit, Belgium), on Friday August 20th, 2010, the band’s frontman, Charles Haddon, committed suicide. Haddon climbed a telecommunications mast, just behind the main stage of the Pukkelpop festival, and threw himself to the car park below. The 22-year-old was pronounced dead later that night. The London three-piece were in Europe playing a number of festivals and were due to perform as part of Australia’s touring Parklife festival next month. They were also set to embark on a headline tour of the UK in October.
This band warmed up for La Roux when I saw her in The Academy earlier in the year.

It's and good day for Americas Military Forces!! :)
America’s gay and lesbian military personnel are today celebrating the over-turning of ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ (DADT), which banned homosexuals serving in the armed forces for the past 17 years.
In a surprising 65-31 vote at the weekend, the U.S Senate repealed the law, which introduced by Bill Clinton in 1993 as a semi-compromise to allow gay soldiers to serve in a military as long as their sexuality remained ‘undisclosed’.
President Obama wrote on Twitter: "By ending 'don't ask, don't tell', no longer will patriotic Americans be asked to live a lie in order to serve the country they love."
Serving gay soldiers were at risk of being outed by comrades, senior officers, spurned lovers, or accidentely on social networking sites and so far more than 13,000 have been dismissed since 1993.
Thankfully, gay soldiers who were forced out of the military will be now allowed to re-enlist.

Facebook : Visualising Friendships
Paul Butler, Facebook intern, made a map by connecting the dots between friends on the network. He started with a sample of 10 million friend pairs, correlated them with their current cities and then mapped that data using the longitude and latitude of each city.
