"Figure we take out the high notes, lose twenty, twenty-five percent of the basses, tops."

Look, if you run with torches, chances are you're going to end up in Casualty.

This is another one of those brain-melty ones. With apologies to non-UK folk who will end up scratching their heads. (The clue is capitalised above.)

OK, let's bring it back to something a bit calmer, a bit more sensible. Something nice. And yes, not technically a carol, but it feels festive-y and I make the rules, so...
