I’m totally quizzed out already. And it’s only Tuesday. Do we get Wednesday off? We are not going traditional this year. SAUSAGES for Xmas dinner.  We shall be on Bangor pier with Twiggy, taking in some bracing sea air and getting ready for W&G. Everyone have a good time, sausages or not!

Watching NORAD Santa Tracker, as always

Brian, I feel you need to go into a hole
Round or square for you?

Well, it’s Christmas Eve
Ham eggs chips
And Carols from Kings
Every year
And it’s quizzical Tuesday!

@hunnybunny, more live volcano action for you.

Yes, same here @birdleader. But hey, just take a break for Xmas. @brianN doesn’t really need any more pups, he’s got aaaaaall the badges.

Since we are talking about best ofs, I think the best TV I have seen all year was possibly Mr Bates versus the Post Office. The worst? I think I had the misfortune of seeing a trailer for Mrs Brown’s Boys.

Me too

I do like Love Actually, actually love (see what I did there?). However I have just finished watching the decidedly un-Christmassy Squid Game. Nasty but very good. Series 2 on Dec 26. Looking forward to Wallace and Gromett mainly.

Hi Burbman

Best Christmas Film?

I’m watching it now: Love Actually

OK it’s a girly one…

Gosh, I posted the Jona Lewie comment without seeing Brian’s comment. We actually agree on something.

You could do a lot worse than Stop The Cavalry by Jona Lewie. At least it has a point. But I don’t really like any of them. In my opinion, the best ever Xmas number one was Mad World by Gary Jules (2003), which I would say is one of the best cover versions of all time. But not a Xmas song.

And why am I going in the hole? What have I done?…[Read more]

And, Dan, before you join Brian, in the hole, what is the best Christmas Song?
White Christmas
Santa Baby
Christmas Rapping (a favourite of mine)
Thirty eight years of “Driving Home”
Or some seventies Glam Rock rubbish?

This should have been the Xmas number one.
