@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

Brian is now dead
In a very big hole, I dug it square, but it should have been round….

If there is any chance that Wham! might top the Xmas charts with the same song two years in a row, with a song that is decades old, it speaks volumes about the absolutely carp state of modern music. Also, I think it might be the Xmas song I hate more than any that I have ever heard. It also might be the Xmas song with the video I hate more than…[Read more]

Think that hole was dug long ago 😉
