I got the best Christmas present ever. Our first grandchild, a beautiful baby girl was born a month ago. My thought when seeing her the first time was "Hey you with the pretty face, welcome to the human race". A bit of a coincidence but her middle name is Lynn. Should have had an e right? Totally. And why not add a small "Jeff" before so there's no mistaking where the "Lynne" comes from? For example, Samantha Jefflynne Adams. Would that be an excess of ELO fanatism? Congrats, tightrope ! Glad to hear you are going through such a beautiful moment. When my daughter was born,I wanted her middle name as Albuquerque Groucutt but Mrs T baulked at that for some reason.... Congrats tightrope,the fun starts here!

I got Mrs T a google home for Christmas and only just set it up today, the first thing I asked it? 'Ok Google,play ELO' lo and behold,Livin Thing came on! does that count as an ELO related present?

Each time I ask it to play ELO,it comes up with something different every time. A bit like a lucky dip,you never know what is going to come up next,today I've had Telephone Line and Twilight!....

I bought my mum a Roy Orbison CD which has some of Jeff's compositions boosted up by the Royal Philharmonic.

Haha... Better than the auto-present is gifting it to a close relative of yours whom you know you might borrow the "present" from, so you mask the auto-present under the appearence of an altruist gift. ... What?
