A Christmas Thread

It's two weeks to Christmas, bang in the middle of the off-season, so forgive me for having an off-topic thread.

Post anything you want here really, though preferably Christmas or F1-related, and if possible, both.

It's a little sing-along the Beatles made exclusively for their fans in around 1966. Just a little novelty, certainly not worth the fury.

Do you think Luca and Giancarlo were there? Are they still integral parts of the Ferrari family? I've never seen Marc interviewed before, so maybe they're lying low.

Also, is anyone here from the UK in support of Rage Against The Machine for Christmas number one?

To Jamie, Enoch, and all the Forumites of F1 Rejects.

Here is a photo taken from a top secret facility somewhere near the North Pole, where its rumoured that Adrian Newey is designing a vehicle, which apparently is for flight and will also deliver items of importance.

Vaguely Christmas-y:

Have a good one everyone! :D


On a sidenote, I'm kind of disappointed that Rage Against The Machine were the most crude and offensive band that the Facebook group come up with. Personally, I think that this is more deserving of Christmas no. 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF0U77bm9mc

I think Killing in the name of is a good choice of song for it. It is offensive enough to cause a stir, whilst being "well known" which should help get more people to back it. The only song I can think of right now that would suit the situation better would be "Gay Bar" by Electric 6. That would be a hilarious xmas no 1.
