Hey I have a deal for you - if you're thinking of switching to Be Un limited ADSL2 in the UK (upto 24Meg broadband!), let me know and I'll refer you, saving you the connection fee (24 quid!). I have 6 friend slots to give out, so hurry...

I've been using Be for a long while now, really happy with them apart from a current slight DNS flakiness which they are fixing (for which you can use alternatives OpenDNS or DNSAdvantage anyway, which I'm doing atm with no problems). You get a funky wireless router too, which is pretty good (Alcatel Speedtouch 780 I think; you can forward ports through it, does VOIP etc). Unlimited downloads, and they've not signed up to that dreadful UK anti-piracy ISP '3 strikes and you're out' thing either - credit to them!

For the sake of transparency I get an extra month for each person I sign up to Be, and maybe some Amazon vouchers - but I do genuinely think it's a good service, as good as Zen my previous ISP. I wouldn't recommend it otherwise (there was a similar scheme with Servage, but they are so bad I never recommended them to anyone, I value my friends too much).

Comments screened so you can post details - I need email, first name, and last name. Or email me at my Gmail - my id is timbearcub.

When I heard Voicedude's track from Santastic 4 I saw my favourite Christmas TV of all time - The Box of Delights in my head, and I really wanted to do a video for it - I asked but another person had beaten me to it.

I saw the original video which is excellent but yet it was more of a traditional mashup affair with loads of Christmas movies and the Blink 182 and Trans-Siberian Orchestra sources, so decided to do mine as more of a simple edit of Box of Delights. I think it works well as an alternative to that video - I wanted to get more of a feeling of magic and delight and awe as a child of Christmas - and do a tribute to one of my favourite Christmas stories and TV series.

Interestingly 'The Box of Delights' is Alan Garner's favourite children's story, you can see the influence can't you?
