Sadvent Calendar 2015 – The Thothening! 1 December

It's…























Sir Christopher Lee!

Yes, it's that time of year again, and having exhausted our supply of festive ADGE and Vs (well, for now, at least…) we've turned our hands to the throwing of horns – or, as we know it, THOTHING. (Don't ask…)

To kick things off, we're paying tribute to a film (and music) legend in the truest sense of the word. Sod Star Wars, LOTR and The Wicker Man, and even his heavy metal album about Charlemagne – we love him because he once sang about GIRL DRINKS. Farewell, Sir Christopher – Planet Sad misses you lots, like whisky tots.

Name Your Poison
