This is a real hoot. Klezmer is traditional Jewish music, and in 1998 an American klezmer band called the Klezmonauts decided to have a go at some Christmas songs. Hence the wonderfully tongue-in-cheek album entitled "Oy To The World".

And on the markets this Saturday morning: Dax are up, Dow closes on a record high, and Australia are 100-1 on to win the Ashes (source: Paddypower)

Hot on the heels of the Madcap Redhead's proclamation that South African immigrants have AIDS and are of no use in Australia, the Tamworth City Council voted on Tuesday night to reject the establishment of a refugee resettlement centre for five Sudanese families.
The reason? The Sydney Morning Herald quotes Tamworth mayor James Treloar as saying they didn't want a "Cronulla riots type situation" in Tamworth.

We could all go insane wondering What If Monty Played In Brisbane And Adelaide? At least he didn't get Mister Cricket, whose Test career batting average has climbed to 85.35.
Still, I'm going to stick my neck out and say that Australia will take a first innings lead some time Friday afternoon.
My Midwinter-Midwinters: Monty Panesar 3 pts; Michael Hussey 2 pts; Steve Harmison 1 point.

- It's amazing what you can find on Google, and she's still not a real person.

Dax are up 45. Nasdaq closed up less than a point. The Nikkei is up 60. Centrebet have Australia $1.90 to win the Ashes on Monday, and $5.00 to win on Sunday.
Monty and Sajid are in the England team for the WACA. Unfortunately, Flintoff and Fletcher are still in charge.
