Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

sorry to hear you had a bad do , alan. not seen your arse yet.
hello martini. nice to see you. looks like you all had a good time at the xmas bash.

Been reading the SEO thread. It turns out that wilbs and jimmy are one and the same, blinger and seq, red erik and pm1.
There are more reincarnations on these boards than on "Most Haunted - Live".
Which warms me to 2 points about this.
1) why have a TV channel called "Living TV" and a programme with the word "Live" in the title and then fill it full of dead people.
2) Is this the second worst TV programme ever?

My nomination for the GMTV award for "programme most hastening the death of anything approaching entertainment" award goes to....................

Roll on the drums please while I open the golden envelope.................


Ant and Dec for "I'm a celebrity....."

I watched it for the first time last night, cos my teenage daughter is hooked and spent half an hour being entertained by the fact that Carol Thatcher farts and Bobby Ball pees on the toilet seat...........riveting!! Who says entertainment is dead? (We all do, actually).
For the same kind of budget, we could have those same celebrities being taught by Steve Irwin how not to handle a crocodile. This would have the benefit of saving money on the return flights from Australia, ridding the world of actors and comedians who, at the height of their fame were about as funny as watching an orphanage burn down, save the Australian zoo a few quid on crocodile food, and ensure that the pious Sheree farted good and loud as she found herself surrounded by hungry crocs.
It would also have the benefit of being much more entertaining than Ant and Dec, who could then be employed to make an engineering documentry on "Destruction testing of the Human Body".
There. Rant over. I feel much better about TV scheduling now. I can get back to work on my idea for a show featuring everyone laughing at a silent Bruce Forsythe because someone nicked his cue cards with the perfectly planned and rehearsed ad-libs on them.

Morning Al , sorry i had to have my say on PM1 ,he is just too conceited for me ,and a complete pratt to boot, by the way i nominated you for the money am awards, don't know if you won ,,i'm not wilbs ,if you go back through the thread we have actually posted at the same time ,now i don't know if that's possible ,but if it is i'm not that clever..

just to cheer you up , alan. i still can't believe my girlfriend once paid good money to go and watch this fake!!! one born every minute , as they say.
i don't understand why you are having a go at the brucemeister , though.

Never watched any of the above programmes ,,lifes too short to waste ..

Now there's a guy with talent etched in every line of his face!! Who is he?
I thank you for your nomination, Jimmy, but if the award was for anything other than winding up ii/blinger et al or pointless posts to get something off my chest then I doubt I will win. Very touching though.
Bos, It's not Brucie per say, its the entire pathetic offerings of the TV on almost any night of the week, but particularly Saturdays. It is turgid and I get very disappointed every time I switch it on. So few programmes worth watching that Ibreak open the scrabble almost every night or go to bed early with the missus (also known as trivial pursuit). Got me angry head on. Love to see a few shows, such as Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Have I got News For You, They Think Its All Over and , the daddy of them all, QI, but the rest is total pants.
Apologies to Brucie fans, but hes never been the same since he split from Anthea. 8-).
Alan

alan, the gentleman in question is derek acorah, a medium who allows himself to become possessed by the spirits. from your choice of shows that you like it appears that you enjoy comedy. mr acorah has me holding my sides, rolling off the couch onto the floor every time!!! i still find it difficult to believe he's not taking the piss.
as for brucie, you only hadto see him present have i got news for you to see how much more he can offer .

Right. I'm back. Not nearly so bored and spitting venom as I was earlier.
I still think most of the TV on offer now is just too awful for words. never saw Brucie on HIGNFY, but I will take your word for that, Bos. I've also heard his one man show is excellent so perhaps it is the progressive liberalist attitudes of the TV execs that make so much of his TV offering so wan and predictable.
Just a bit on my high horse today, and the TV media is a very easy target for all the things I dislike about the world, though to be fair I blame most of the words ills on Disney, MacDonalds and social workers, and perhaps this is a little unkind.
I often imagine hell to be something like a room in the local council offices full of social services telling me to talk about the things I did wrong in my life while being force fed big macs and watching Pocahontas.
Give me fire, brimstone, demons and a red hot poker up the jacksie anyday.........

Looked at the thread, now looking at the tip!!
Alan

hey!! nice bins!!

Just re-read my earlier posts, written while my mood was as dark as the inside of a cows bum, and I've gotta say, I've turned into one of those miserable old farts I promised myself I would never become.
If anyone hears me say it was better in my day, or I start wearing my tie over the top of a handknitted jumper or tank top, with a sports jacket to keep me warm, shoot me. Twould be an act of kindness, really.
Alan

Whats a matter with miserable old farts I'm sure I'm one and proud of it, and you get your own parking.

Hey I'm a crack shot, me

Alan ,,i'm surprised at your earlier post (just got home) , being with social workers ,,i'm thinking of the frumpy type ,25 hair up and horn rimmed glasses ,maybe even librarians , smearing me with food ,force feeding me,and making me confess to all my problems ,,oooh suit you sir ..

Do you like a lady with frumpy shoes sir,, do you..

chocolat, is that a pic from the mam xmas do? someone needs a back, sac and crack wax!!!
