Recently bought a Rock Band 3 keyboard, a psp memory stick for my cousin and some cheap earphones for my mp3 player. Ebay and Amazon are my santas.

I'd be happy to have an iPhone because it means someone has actually paid for it to give it to me, and for that alone I'd be grateful. However, I much prefer my blocky old Nokia. Love dem fonez.

I'm so hung over.

Need to get through this minor complication then back to the booze!

The best cure for a hangover is more drink Dixyboy.

"There's a tiger in the bathroom!"

On another note, anyone been watching english TV? I really enjoyed the Big Fat Quiz of the Year. Spending time with family is always a plus too.

Kinda of, It was in the background on Christmas Day. I did avoid Doctor Who like a bad smell though.

Good idea. Watching it certainly felt like someone taking a fat shit on my brain.

Really? I wouldn't say I loved it, but I did enjoy it.

Depends whether you're into mental scat.

It was a very circumstantial and basic story line with an all to sudden climax, and for a pseudo-science fiction series, there was a lot of flowery magical bullshit, it killed an hour though.

I felt the cast was good and the overall message was good. Finally we have some non-violent aliens for a change. They're not all murderous crazy things for once!

The Borrowers was okay. I didn't quite like it as much as the Jim Broadbent version though. It seemed to be a bit too modern for it's own good. It didn't have much of the "feel good factor" of the original.

Michael McIntyre's Christmas Roadshow was really funny too. Great line up and great gags.

Yeah he was very funny, Dandelion Mind was on with Bill Bailey as well, that's just absolutely hilarious.

I saw The Borrowers last night. It was alright. I didn't watch any other version before so I can't compare.

watched the first part of Great Expectations, originally written by Charles Dickens, so it must be Christmassy. really enjoyed it, Ray Winstone was great as always, although he wasn't in it for long. i assume he'll be coming back though.

Let's just say, he's a main cast member :D
I really enjoyed Great Expectations so far. The cast is good, the plot is decent and there are some interesting twists here and there.

Ray Winstone's also in a Ben Hur TV film which I'm watching right now too.

Their Miss Havisham looks way too young though.

Congratulations, you've just described the last seven years' worth of Doctor Who.


You've got to accept with any episode written by Stephen Moffat that he sees Doctor Who as a fairy tale, not serious science fiction.

My biggest gripe with the episode was that the Monster of the Week did nothing.

Man was the real monster.

And that's some deep shit.

hell yeah.

The computer I was promised for Christmas is going to have a PCI Express SSD. I am very pleased with how this rig is shaping up.

Yep. About as deep as a kid's paddling pool :D

The following article reflects some of my opinions concerning Christmas, albeit rather exaggerated. Surprisingly it's actually satire, but hey, it's the closest thing you'll get to an environmentalist article in the nation's most right-wing paper.

Christmas is turkey genocide day

No.

I was hoping for a New Years Eve Thread. lol

Anyway Happy New Year! :D

lol!

Well you're just fucking hilarious.

A bit unnecessary.

no, that was necessary. that was definitely necessary.

the fuck do you think you are, anyway? the big dawg or something? HUH?

I'm mellow from watching Gandhi is what.

Fucking righteous dawg.

tell it how it is, brother. funk, yeah!

Peace is sweet soul brudda.

I am proud to say that I didn't even remotely understand that conversation.

That's coz your not down with our hip modern lingo. Look at all this street credit man. Look.

Wouldn't a hip person say street cred?

Square.

The implication was that I'm anything but. Deary me.

Do the Charleston, everybody!

So long as it's in Andante in D.

I love to Charleston. :(
