There's nothing worse than begging for it
Yes, yes, your season of goodwill and all, but who can truly find it in their hearts not to throw at least a small festive snowball at Cliff Richard for begging people to buy his new record?
His website pleads:
"Cliff has a good chance of hitting the No. 1 spot this Sunday with '21st Century Christmas', but sales need to continue over the next few days.
"Please buy copies for family and friends - let's all do our best to help him achieve that 'No. 1 in a sixth decade'!!"
Let's not even ask what sort of friend gives another friend a Cliff Richard single as a present - but just in case you harbour someone like that in your circle, you'd better get some practice in saying "Oh, how splendid" like you mean it.
Of course Cliff is keen to flog as many copies of this record as he can - even under the current copyright rules, he'll be earning off his performance until 2056. We're surprised he doesn't just ask for cheques made out to him personally and cut out the middle men.
Why not tell family and friends that, in place of gifts, this year you have chosen to make a donation to Cliff Richard instead?

Didn't he have a #1 with that godawful Millennium Prayer? That must've still been at the top of the 'hit parade' for the couple of weeks after Christmas 1999, surely?
In which case, doesn't that mean he's already had a #1 this decade? And so can stuff his requests for another one up his Botoxed arse?
*crosses fingers and prays*
