This carol presents problems … for a start, they really need to be children’s voices and chn’s voices are not (cough) trained. Then there is the tune … ours is below, the American tune is … er … otherwise. Yet these seem American chn singing an English version … maybe not … either way, here tis:

4. A strange tale of the Virgin Islands
This has to have been one of the weirdest experiences … and yet it came to nothing in the end.
After writing to say DAD’s drop would be after a short second sleep, I did go back to bed and crashed … but what turned out to be an hour and three quarters later, suddenly awoke and phoned the Virgin Islands … as one does.
Call connected, some guy just said: “Rob …” seemed a British accent, not RP, not Essex estuary glottal stop … in fact, as we spoke, I thought maybe southern hemisphere. Anyway, I had no idea what to ask, so I asked, “Is that the Virgin Islands? I’m wondering if you could tell me the distance to …” (had to think quickly) “… London?”
“Gaw …” (stunned and bemused voice, followed by some words I can’t recall, pleasant manner).
“I understand this is the tourist board?”
Then it went silent but not the silence of a phone click, my feeling was he was asking someone …
… then I woke up. I was in bed, ipad on the bench near the bed, nothing in my hands (quiet at the back there, you naughty people), no phone … phone in the other room. Yikes … had to have been a dream. What the …?
Grabbed the ipad, ggled Virgin Islands … hmmmm, seems there are two … I’m assuming this was British Virgin Islands … long, long list of Qs and As below, most interesting.
Next strange thing was that I wrote this above at 0658 before forgetting it. Weird.
(0401) Night almost over … one hopes.
3. DAD at 913
a) The People 1 : the State and M le Maire 0.
There will be no reception centre for asylum seekers in Bélâbre.
The information was announced this Wednesday evening in a press release from the Indre prefecture…..
JH: You wot, DAD?
b) When Sarkozy was President of France the club of magistrates were caught with a wall of cuttings, etc. of a left-wing nature. It caused quite a storm.
c) ‘This must not happen again’ – Refugees refuse German language courses taught by females in Austria.
JH: Must be out of their tiny minds … I’d gladly attend one of those Oktoberfest maedchen’s lessons.
d) Mindless vandalism or anti-christian?
Deux des quatre personnages de la crèche de Noël installée devant la gare de Metz ont été vandalisés et leurs têtes enlevées…..
JH: I’d like to say it was just what I’d been thinking too but it would be a lie … actually, I’ve been phoning the British Virgin Islands.
