This one was sort of unofficial... I doubt the BBC will have it up.

Ooh I wonder how the BBC presented the episode... did they cut JC out altogether? i.e. three contestants?

On the Friday, they aired an old episode. The change was so late, that the episode was still put out for a while on iplayer, by the time they took it off it had been grabbed by some tech-savvy person and uploaded.

He was pretty much Jezza in it. He made it clear what side he was on the badger debate. People may have complained about that, but really, this is Jezza, you can guess.

Jezza is just Jezza, theres no malice in his statements.

Have you seen the pic of him in the Radio Times Tog Gear article.? Euwwww bit too much belly.

i can't remember that... i guess i have trauma amnesia.

Tog Gear? Oh dear I must remember not to post when I'm bleary eyed and before my coffee in the morning. 

I just assumed you meant some clothes based top gear parody. *ahem*

Oh dear... I don't like to think of Jezza in his togs... 

*now requires brain bleach*

 I did see a pic of him in his swimming trunks once.... pass that bleach... 

hold on... I think i need some more.

 Shall we change the topic?  

How are your Christmas preparations going?

I put up my Christmas tree today, quite late. Needed more lights as last year's had packed up. Got battery operated ones from M+S... at least I don't have to worry about tripping over cables over Christmas when I've had a mulled wine too many 

Christmas preparations have gone well. I have eaten half the xmas pringles though, I may have to buy more.

oh that does sound handy... we have a few adapters strung from the tree right now... *nods*

In other news.... I had a driving test today. I somehow passed!

Yaaaaaay! Well done Hitch, thats brilliant  

I think you've earned a few more tubs of Pringles.

Thank you. *takes a bow*

Delighted for you Hitch  good on ya girl  

Today was less good. had to take my dad to the hospital cause he feel in the street. he's ok, but his eye looks a cracker... got a massive shiner.

Incase I don't see you with the chaos that is tomorrow.

Merry Xmas! Hope you have a good one.

Sorry I haven't been in. That terrible about your father . How is he doing now. Hope you managed to have a Happy Christmas in spite of it.

Its a certain person's Birthday tomorrow. I'll be in with a cake  and something suitable.

he's fine. the bruising is going down and the swelling is almost gone too.

*gets excited for cake*

To Hitch

Have a lovely

Birthday xxxx

Hope you

like the cake.

It tastes better

than it looks !

And a scarf

to keep out the chill 

HAPPY

BIRTHDAY

HITCH!!!

Oh and lastly, a Steve Backshall Calendar   Just checked the months - Nope! Not wearing a shirt in any of them    

Hope you have a Very Happy Birthday and you do something special Hitch xxx

*jaw hits the floor in awe*

My word! This is fabulous! dare I cut into such a marvellous cake? scarf, so cosy! so cute! so badgeriffic!

*looks through the calendar*

Oh excellent... Next December is that day he stripped of in the snow on Deadly 60, what an extra special birthday month that'll be. *fans self*

*drools slightly at the calendar*

Thank you so much!

*wonders how to top this*

Oh Badgers.... they were on the Springwatch highlights last night, about an hour in. Snoring in their sets!!! Cutest thing ever  

Hope you're having a good day BurpDay Hitch     Have you been having a few treats? 

ooh! another thing to iplayer!

it's been nice. there's been doctor who, jet li and treacle toffee from thorntons.

and tonight there shall be big fat quiz of the year and that episode of deadly 60 i mentioned earlier is still on iplayer (thursdays if you are interested... there's artic foxes and lynx too. )

 Sounds like you'd a nice time.

Ta, I might well watch that... 

I did.. i player was a wee bit of a bitch (all worked eventually), and couldn't ind the proper Poirot on Itvplayer (although, did see an old one with a cute wee mouse and extremely young looking Damien Lewis).

Deadly 60 was enjoyable. He is a total dork as well... he may actually be perfect. lol

Oh good  dorky is my favourite type of guy.

Only saw the first 15 mins of TG before I got interrupted - hope to catch up with it today.

I was out. Been in Largs. Haven't seen TG either. I'll ctach up with stuff tommorrow. I'm shattered.

Sounds like you need sleep  Hope you had a good time Hitch 

I still haven't seen the TG Special... I want to sit down in peace and savour it... pencilled it in for Jan 2nd

Still haven't caught up with sleep yet. Watched a Deadly 60 about tracking, they did a close up of Steve's eye like they did on Lost. So, I watched 6 episodes of Lost. 5am I went to sleep at. *ahem*

And tonight is obviously not a good night for sleeps.

I did have a lovely time in Largs, thank you very much.

Happy Hogmanay!

Happy New Year Hitch  

Happy new year Rosie!

*gives it laldy with the "auld lang syne"*

Enjoyed the TG special. Though I found it quite scary - people carrying their  babies on motorbikes and crazy driving. There is obviously no such thing as health and safety in India .

I ended up wheezing(literally) at the mini trying to winch james' car.

I have to say I was multitasking at bits. didn't see too much, couldn't have been worse than china driving wise.

Wheezing? You ok?

Some of the jokes you could see them coming a mile off...but that somehow made them funnier. Like a panto or something.

Also I'm glad to see RH has sorted his hair out 

yes, just laughing too hard.

yes, well telegraphed. so was the "winch on a mini", i just didn't expect the front of the car to come right off... I thought it would go flying down the hill.

I just knew those tiffin tins were going to come off the top of the roof 

Oh they were definitely coming a cropper. Just didn't know who it would be.

And of course, James got horribly lost.
