Christmas television viewing.

[Trumpton]

I've just been studying the festive edition of the Radio Times and have noticed that there are some good programmes on over the yuletide - which makes a change.

On Crimbo Eve a 'Top Gear' night and on Boxing Day a Ken Dodd night - so double !thumbsup! and a couple of !xmas! for good measure.

So, what will you be watching - if anything?

"So, what will you be watching - if anything?

The talent on the dancefloor !wink!, a sneaky eye on the poison so as not to spill any, maybe watching mates dancing away, pointing and laughing in doing so, maybe watching myself preen in a mirror as I'm so vain and want to explore this narcissism thing Olay advertises.

To make up for last year's 'flu and social disappointments, it'll be out and about trumpty- most nights from 24-31 Dec- we'll see; ultimately, here in Glesga, I'll be watching my step! !drink! !grin! If I stagger in pissed- I'll browse the forums perhaps, no magoo-style pished-up rants straight from the heart of the alkie loony-soup.

Chrimbo TV now though- largely guff like sweeties of yore, the only shining jewels of the past were Only Fools and Horses and other such Christmas Special TV-exclusive treats.

Did you say that you also had flu this year?

You're a very brave man to do this.

I've downloaded and watched the Xmas special of 'Extras'. Whilst not for everyone (Gervais is human marmite) I very nearly pissed myself laughing at several points - the audition scene in particular had me laughing for a full 5 minutes. And the phone shop staff... !laugh! I think it's on here on the 27th.

But apart from the aforementioned TG night, there is nothing worth staying in for.

Not 'out-out' every night- interspersed with a wee meal, a hoosey-pairty, a gathering at the pub.

Apart from TG there isn't much worth watching.

And there's me thinking that Crimbo telly (this year) is not too bad. !confused!
