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!

My must see Xmas shows and films are:

Doctor Who
Pan's Labyrinth
Muppet's Xmas Carol (altho I have it on dvd still must watch it. My fave xmas film!!)
Princess Mononoke (great film by Studio Ghibli)
Porco Rosso (more Studio Ghibli)
Finding Nemo
Santa Claus The Movie
Singing in the Rain
Golden Voyage of Sinbad

I WILL NOT be watching:
Miracle on 34th Street
Railway Children
Annie
