Can't believe the guy doesn't have a Christmas album. I should have done an advert calendar of his album covers.

Same scheme on Sicily too in believe !

If you're primary income is pension related and you're happy to live in a smaller (20,000 people or less) town in Southern Italy there's some significant financial encouragements on offer (7% tax) and cost of living will be lower. Just sayin'.

I noticed @BlueHammer85 posted on the mental health thread that he's struggling at bit at the moment. Hope he knows how much we appreciate him here, jellied eels an all :-) Wishing all you musical mooners peace & love this Christmas.
