I'd be a beginner at this so I'd need a few more letters to go on. Looks like it could be fun! :yep:

Rudi, this should tell you that I have all three solved.

You should have seen the puzzle when I uploaded it initially. The lounge software truncated all the spaces between the words and the puzzle was one looooong string.
I had the place them into the code tags to preserve the spaces and make it more legible (sorta)!

Before Christmas maybe, but which year?

They can't be that famous, and unless they appear on Phil's Christmas Album, I probably don't stand a chance... :grin:
