Christmas Day is probably a terrible day to upload a video if you want anyone to see it, and Christmas Day afternoon even more so. But as this video what I have made for you is very much a Christmas Day thing, there’s not much option really. So here’s my Christmas Message:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Oh yes, I have a blog, don’t I? So I should probably take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and direct you to my new song on the subject of what should be this year’s Christmas number 1 (warning: contains a swear).

And, for balance, here’s Tim Minchin’s White Wine in the Sun, which, should you wish, you can buy from iTunes here.

Here’s a very short video I made on Saturday night. It’s an old joke, although it is one of mine: I wrote it a decade ago for a comedy show on my university’s radio station, Leeds Student Radio.

This week my satirical eye noticed lots of people on the twitter asking for Google Wave invites, so here’s a song about it – also known as “How many words can Will think of that rhyme with Wave and how many of those can he shoehorn into a song?”

I sang along a bit too much in a club last night so I’m afraid I’m a bit hoarse. I think you get the point anyway.
