was a good night.

i'm glad it is the weekend now... very much so.

 Heh heh I've just been texting my brother Owen, he's feeling very much the same way. Although he says they've started putting up the Belfast Christmas lights. Bliddy Nora eh?


Happy Bonfire Night (  if they go in for it in Glasgow )

our xmas lights got switched on last week... by *gulps* jedward... oh the humanity!

we do.. i personally didn't. have some issues with fire. seemed like a quiet one this year at that though.

 Terry Prachett just did a speech at my old Uni, where he's been made an Adjunct Professor of English. Yay! He did a lovely interview with Ryan Tubridy on RTE 2 FM. Here's a link to the podcast if you'd like to hear him: http://www.rte.ie/radio1/podcast/podcast_tubridy.xml
I love his saying that he's developed a taste for @rsekicking because there are such a large amount of them around.

b.t.w. Jedward! Ye Gods! Poor Glasgow

even worse the fireworks night in glasgow green last night had two random x factor non-entities... why do they send them to us?

yay for pterry! thank you for the link.

Heh heh, was the Glasgow crowd's reaction like this:  +


PTerry is lovely isn't he, I could listen to him all day.

nah... glasgow is full of neds/chavs who think the x factor actually means anything. 

would be lovely if terry did his own audio books... unfortunately, i think reading out loud would be a problem now.

"Neds" lol! I like that.



Yes its sad, he was saying he has problems with visual things like revolving doors and he can't write his name any more

is very sad.

that said 'i shall wear midnight' was amazing. i thought the last two books before that weren't as good/didn't make sense, but i think that was mainly me not liking moist von lipwig for making money though.

Was that his latest one Hitch?


Oh I must watch JM's programme on iplayer. Dunno why, but I can't work up the ethusiasm for it.

'i shall wear midnight' is the latest.. last tiffany aching book i think.

yeah, can't muster much interest in the new james thing myself.. which is... how? i should be yay! jm!

Its a duff idea for a show  even JM's charms can't tempt me.


Have you ever seen Sue Perkins and Giles Coren's shows? I love those two together. Their latest one, The Good Life is funny so far. I'm old enough to remember that sitcom, it  was rubbish but everyone watched it.

i haven't, no... did enjoy sue on light lunch though.

i rememeber it too... but more from repeats (repeats are a good thing i argue)

Its a good watch ( the Sue and Giles one that is )

will try and catch t once my v+ backlog goes down a bit. lol

Backlog heh heh that can happen. I download stuff from iplayer and don't watch half of it.


Are you watching that Event thing on ch.4 ? its supposed to be a bit like Lost.

got through a chunk today. still have chuck and leverage to get through.

not been watching it. it's being advertised as something lost fans would like. BUT, it has aliens in it. lost fans spent 6 seasons saying 'if this turns out to be aliens someone shall get hurt!'...  aliens put me off. no to aliens!

*nods* aliens is overdoing it

indeedly so.

The only good show with an alien in it, is American Dad. Roger rocks!!!

never watched it...
but, i would say alf.

 heh heh I'll see that alien and raise you ... ZIg and Zag.

*remembers their pop career and curses the cowel thing even more*

Hello.just read past the page, thankee for the TP linky rosie. I haven't watched the latest JM thing either, just not interested.Not seen the Event myself, but the thing \i klike to watch is the 'walking dead' anybody seen it?

How are you both?

Hi Ruby !  Great to see you xx


I'm ok, plodding along as usual. How have you been?

ruby! nice to see you.

haven't been watching it, no.. zombies aren't my thing (except reg ♥ ). not picked up anything with the new season shows.

I am fine, my other half this year has had two bereavements within 4 weeks of each other so that where most of my energies have been used. 

Oh yes I have been watching Giles and Sue too, Poor chicks with their bottom lice Love it though!

Sorry things have been tough for you Ruby xx


I loved all the Supersizers shows, especially the WW2 one and the Eighties one. SUe Perkins is a laugh, and seems to have no vanity whatsoever.

sorry to here that ruby.

Thanks Hitch,rosie xx  we are okay tho.
Got a bit of top gear news 9th paragraph down, Jezza as a wise man, erm 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffi...vember/22/xmas.shtml

Sue and Giles are doing festive too! 

Thanks for the heads up Ruby. I just read about it in the Guardian  They're retracing the route to Bethlehem. Imagine Jezza in the politically sensitive middle east  Oh Gawd, they'll have to tape his mouth up !!! 

Yay!

oh yay... that will be mega.

I dread to think what the three gifts they bring are, heh heh.

no doubt james will take something incredibly practical, jezza on the other hand... yikes!

Yikes indeed.
They're  going in open top sports cars, but I hope they go at least  part  of the way on camels.

jezza on a camel would be the coolest.

Ok ... I don't usually go in for these sort of things, but I've just seen the cutest  pic ever so had to share it. As Jezza would say, Sweeeeet:
