There's nothing like a viral video to get your message seen by loads of people on the internet - and now CBS have released one to advertise the second part of a "Criminal Minds" story.

The web address http://www.tobitnet.com is seen on screen very briefly in the first part of the of the story, which is actually based on viral internet videos, so I thought I'd type it in to see what came up... and then found this:

Looks the second installment is gonna be good!

I've been a bit slack on this blog lately, and for that I really must apologise. I promise I'll try harder next year.

In the meantime though, have a great Christmas and a very Happy New Year! Have a listen to this lovely rendition of "O Holy Night" by some random internet bod - and no, it isn't me singing! Please listen to it in it's entirety, it's like nothing you've ever heard before (or ever again, if you're lucky)

How cute is this!!!

Crikey... following on from the news of my sister giving birth a few weeks back, my sister-in-law gave birth this morning to a lovely baby girl... woo!!!!

Rachel Amy Way was born at 1.04am, and mum & baby are doing well! Congratulations to the proud parents Andrew & Julie, sister Lucy, & brother Adam, and (of course) best wishes to Rachel!

Pictures to follow as soon as I receive some!

This isn't a dig at the "Top Gear" presenter who crashed in a rocket-propelled car the other month (he's recovering well, incidentally) - with the help of hypnotist Paul McKenna, he genuinely can't drive!

I've taken a few more photos and uploaded them to my Flickr account here. Hope you like them!!
