Excerpts from A Very Spectrum Christmas, by Thomas A. Christie. (Part 1) Introduction. Throughout the 1980s, thousands of British children were lucky enough to discover a Sinclair ZX Spectrum under their Christmas trees and soon found their eyes opened to a virtual world of wonder. But Santa Claus did more than deliver computers — sometimes he appeared on them, too. This book delves into the Spectrum’s extraordinary pantheon of seasonal games: the good, the bad, the surprising, the unabashedly surreal and the occasionally rather tenuous.

Maria Callas - O mio Babbino Caro (Lyric Video)
Lyrics: O mio babbino caro Mi piace, è bello, bello Vo’ andare in Porta Rossa A comperar l’anello! Sì, sì, ci voglio andare! E se l’amassi indarno, Andrei sul Ponte Vecchio, Ma per buttarmi in Arno! Mi struggo e mi tormento! O Dio, vorrei morir! Babbo, pietà, pietà! Babbo, pietà, pietà!English translation: Oh my dear papa I like him, he is so handsome. I want to go to Porta Rossa To buy the ring! Yes, yes, I want to go there! And if my love were in vain, I would go to the Ponte Vecchio And throw myself in the Arno! I am pining, I am tormented! Oh God, I would want to die! Father, have pity, have pity! Father, have pity, have pity!
