    I fully understand that this will be quite different between different countries, but that's also why a reason why I'm curious. Mine is "O Helga Natt[^]" (Oh Holy Night). Especially when sung by Jussi Björling. (Pavarotti can take a hike).

    "Zombies" by the Cranberries and the one-and-only Dolores O'Riordan.

    "What Turing gave us for the first time (and without Turing you just couldn't do any of this) is he gave us a way of thinking about and taking seriously and thinking in a disciplined way about phenomena that have, as I like to say, trillions of moving parts. Until the late 20th century, nobody knew how to take seriously a machine with a trillion moving parts. It's just mind-boggling." Daniel C. Dennett

          Most of what goes for culture in the UK nowadays is fairly poor. If, when Bulgarians start moving to the UK next year, they bring some of their culture I will be more than happy to welcome them. :)

              Yeah, I'm afraid the most likely group to move will be ethnically not quite bulgarians. Not that there is anything wrong with that. edit: Besides, some of Them[^] apparently moved to Scotland long time ago :)

                Hmm, there are so many, but you certainly know it's Christams when The Pogues Featuring Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York.[^] comes on the radio. Or how about Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday[^] or even Slade - Merry Christmas Everyone[^] It is not really until you hear one on the radio or telly that they jump out and say that's a favourite!

                What do you mean with EVEN Slade. I'm seriously a fan of them and feel ashamed that I've forgotten about that song. Have a five for refreshing my pickled brain.

                  I'm feeling some ambiguity in that sentence. Are you referring to the fact that they're not really Bulgarians, or that they might be moving? ;P

                    Nope, I meant that the most mobile and likely group to move in large numbers would be the Roma minority. They have different cultural traditions, not that there is anything wrong with that.

                          There are so many good Christmas songs but the best ones are the ones that the children are singing when the Santa comes to visit :) For the recorded ones, these bring special memories to me: - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJSUT8Inl14[^] - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wix14BuE09o[^]

                                        To answer properly, it's probably "O come Emmanuel". (That's probably not the official name). You can sing / hum it in an echoey chamber and it's amazing. Someone mentioned the Pogues, but there's an anemic SV set of lyrics to the same tune. I can't imagine it translating to Kirsty berating the toothless croaker about his faults. I bought the Sanna Nielsson Christmas CD a few days ago - Some really good singing, mixed with the odd murdered cover. She just can't do high notes. Iain.

                                        I am one of "those foreigners coming over here and stealing our jobs". Yay me!
