We are full of wonderful little routines here at Proper Mag towers. One of them is the weekly office quiz, in which one staff member sets questions for everyone to answer. Hilarity usually ensues. Oh, did we mention that we’re doing a party?
Right then, lets forget we’re all skint and on tablets just for a bit whilst we listen to Proper Magazine’s favourite top ten Christmas tunes. Most of these festive bangers…
