Yay! The TV show I love to hate is back. I’ve banged on about 24, the incredibly-daft-but-meant-to-be-serious American TV show, loads of times before. It’s so ridiculously unbelievable, I love to pick fault with it. And with 24 episodes (hence the name of the show – brilliant, eh?) I hope to have lots of whinges about this silly show in …
Say ‘Cheese’
Did you see the pictures of Iris Robinson on the news over the weekend with that ‘guilty-as-fuck’ sickly grin on her fizzog? You know, one of those looks that’s just crying out for a good thwacking from a lump of four-be-two? Oooooo. Couldn’t you just?
I’m free!
Have you noticed how, when people are describing something as ‘free’, they prefix it with the word ‘absolutely’. Of course it’s ‘absolutely’ free. What other ‘free’ is there? Partly free? Semi- free? Free with some strings attached that you won’t notice unless you can be arsed to read the small print? I suspect so. Let’s have free described as free …
Clean-up op
All the Christmas paraphernalia came down today. Bloody pleased to see the back of it and all. SWMBO’s decorations consisted of shiny, twee girly stuff that has no function whatsoever and the the bits that did, for example, Santa-shaped candles, were not allowed to be lit “because they are ornaments”. WTF? So, down they come and now there’s bits of …
Taking the piss!
As Vic would say: “I don’t belieeeve it!” After being solidly bombarded for months by Strictly Come Dancing, what have the BBC decided to replace the programme with? – another friggin’ dance show!! What makes the BBC think that everyone gives a monkey’s chunker about dancing? Do the programmers need some fresh ideas? Well here’s some for free: How about …
Review of 2009
Bollocks.
Fuck You!
It was nice to see that the Facebook campaign to get Rage Against the Machine to the Christmas No.1 slot against the pap X-Factor song was a success. OK, I admit that I don’t know who won, nor the name of the song, but it just has to be shite! However, whilst I admire the anti-establishment stance behind the campaign …
Done dancing?
Well, it’s finally over. Almost four solid months (see the date on my previous post) of blanket coverage on BBC and the Strictly Come Dancing competition has come to an end. But has the coverage? I suspect not. I would think the Beeb have a lot more mileage to get out of the show yet. Post show analysis, highlights shows, …
Thanks for Nothing!
The problem with trying to maintain a blog of this nature is to constantly find things to be grumpy about. Yes, I know it’s hard to believe, but I’m only grumpy for about 99.98% of my life. Well, to help me fill in that remaining 0.02%, I’ve ordered Jack Dee‘s new book, entitled ‘Thanks for Nothing’. Hopefully I will be …
What to do?
I’m in a hell of a quandary! Do I stay in to watch the final of Strictly, or do I go out and drink free beer all night? If you hadn’t noticed, I’m being sarcastic.
