Coming up in Friday’s Courier Do they know it’s Christmas time?

Coming up in Friday’s Courier  Do they know it’s Christmas time?

What does Bono have in common with a Parcelforce delivery driver from Arbroath?

They both want you to know it’s Christmas. A message they are jolly keen to reinforce through the medium of song.

The good people of Arbroath have released a quite sensational (depending on your feelings on what qualifies as sensational a completely subjective matter, at the end of the day) Band Aid tribute video.

Playing the role of Bob Geldof (not literally, I merely mean they organised said video) are staff from the local branch of Thomas Cook.

It really is great fun, not to mention a timely reminder of what this time of year is all about (arguably).

Meanwhile…

He’s the man, the man with the midas touch

A spider’s touch

Such a cold finger beckons you to enter his web of sin

But for heaven’s sake whatever you do, don’t go in. Doing so would be utter madness.

I’m talking, as you will be very well aware, about none other than James Bond.

He’s back. We have full details of the line-up for the latest 007 caper.

In other, perhaps less globally significant, news we have details of the Tayside farm creating a quite wonderful Christmas scene using hay bales.

Lovely stuff all but guaranteed to provoke an indulgent smile and possibly even a little chuckle. In some people it may well cause a small (but entirely satisfied) sound to be involuntarily emitted from the mouth. I’m thinking either “ha” or “ho”.

Politics. It’s a dangerous game. But our fearless political editor Kieran Andrews doesn’t care. Indeed, he wants to play the game with you.

Read all the latest from the autumn statement fall out and a barnstorming bed-blocking exchange in your heavyweight Courier.

It would be unkind to suggest you would be a fool to miss the working week-ending Courier, but one might perhaps agree you would have to be somewhat intellectually challenged to avoid such a wondrous product. If print isn’t your thing, why not try our digital edition?
