Ringo set to track Santa again

Ringo Starr will operate one of Norad's SantaCams on Friday night, tracking Santa Claus's progress over Britain for the second year running.

A bit of a strange one this, but it's Christmas, so what the hell.

This Friday night Ringo Starr will be operating one of Norad's 'santa-cams' tracking the progress of Santa Claus as he flies over Britain. It is the second year that Ringo has been involved in the project run by North American Air Defense Command which beams pictures of Santa flying around the world back to its website - http://www.noradsanta.org (they got over 500 million hits last Christmas!).

Speaking in an advert for the project, Ringo says: "I'm going to be operating one of Norad's SantaCams and I'll try to get some high-tech images of Santa".

Commenting on Ringo's support, a spokesman for Norad told reporters: "The reason why he said that he wanted to do this is because he's a personal friend of Santa Claus and he has been ... for many years".
