I can't figure out how to play it!   

[Hook]

Been a bit busy buying myself stuff all year so it was a gearless Christmas for Hook. The kids and wife had a very nice Christmas (as did i) it's just I'm pretty sure there is no more gear to buy.
Rock on!

Yeah, I said that last year. A banjo later, planning another synth soon, a Les Paul perhaps - is there no end .....

The festival could be about being skint so getting nothing for xmas, so going on a crime fest to buy some guitars ...... ?

Doesn't say it has to be a musical instrument   

[Hilary]

Didn't specify which Christmas either . . .
