Greeetings once more, folks, it’s that time of the week once more. At 7pm UK time I will be making my final appearance of the year on Fresh Air, Edinburgh’s student radio station. It’s my final one because I’ve been banned for all the swearing broadcast shuts down during the holidays, presumably because students have other things to do, such as go home to their families and such like.

I’ll be back on next year I would hope, and will make more effort to have guests on and generally make some interesting shows instead of just blathering on about bollocks, as I have been doing this term.

I will not be being over Christmassy, but I might mention a couple of my favourite albums of the year, and play a couple of very vaguely Christmas-related songs (like No Christmas in Kentucky – thanks DC!) and stuff like that, but basically this will still just be a normal Toad show, except without all the swearing with which you are all so familiar.  Below, just for fun, are two songs that will not be on this evening’s broadcast, but which very nearly were, just to whet your appetites.

That image, incidentally, when I fished it from a Google image search, was titled christmasballs which, for no really sensible reason whatsoever, made me snigger like a child.  Christmasballs.  Tee hee!
