I am being a proper boomer and just watching old bond films on ITV X every night. I intend to continue doing this until the thinly veiled returns on Saturday.
We watched ten minutes of die hard two the other night before realising we were pissed, it was late and we had things to do the next day. Last night we watched die hard because it was on when our pizzas arrived. I have a feeling tonight will be die hard two night.
Also hadn’t realised quite how much die hard has aged over the years. Acting still great from genuinely great actors but the script/plot looks very very old now
Watched A Christmas Carol with Professor X and McNulty earlier. Mastermind now.
Die hard 1 is a masterpiece compared to the second film.
Went to my sister in laws house after lunch on Sunday. We watched love actually which both she and my niece can quote large sections of. I’d never seen it before, it was ok. Apparently since very young childhood my brother had a Christmas rule that my niece was allowed to watch it once and once only every Christmas (a family in joke, not a laying down the law deal for clarification, he wasn’t like that). They will be visiting us next Saturday for one night before they go off on a train trip to Budapest for the new year. My plan is to stick that on (thereby symbolically breaking the rule) for them. Also Mrs f has never seen it either. My “price” for that though is that we will also have to watch one of two films that have the same resonance for me. As yet I haven’t decided if it’s going to be “singing in the rain “ or “Mr jolly lives next door”.
Doctor Who and Muppet Christmas Carol on Christmas day, Wallace & Gromit on boxing day, LotR trilogy at various points throughout the week.
Uni challenge laddsss
Hairy Bikers 
The second one is a delight for anyone who’s ever worked in aviation. We’ve just hit the point where they “reset the ils”. [reader: this is physically impossible]
I’ll be Wallacing my Gromit on iPlayer if I’m able to on Christmas day.
I bet you will, you dirty old bollocks
all the obvious stuff. plenty of football/nfl to fall back on.
worlds strongest man too.
School of rock. An all timer.
Always bothered by how Jack Black managed to get his guitars out while coming clean about not being a teacher and booking it out the school.
