[Closed] Call the Midwife...... WTAF

Suffering Corrie here with the MIL giving a running commentary of who is who and what they are doing.

Jane macdonald river cruising then Victoria wood.
I own 4 Crass albums.

I appear to have inadvertently got rid of the M-I-L earlier than expected by announcing after dinner that there was "NO WAY" we were watching Call The Midwife tonight. She never even stopped long enough for her 38th cup of tea before she scuttled off back down the M56.

I hope it's on again next year now.

Bugger that, watching Snow White and the Huntsman at the moment, much more fun.

just settling down to watch 'The Dark Tower'. i am happy 😀

Bed early cos of call the bloody midwife, how utterly depressing is that in Christmas night. Even the musuc for God's sake.

Bed now about to watch an uninterrupted episode of the grand tour on my tablet with my headphones in.

I cannot fathom this Call the Midwife shite.

An endless parade of misery intwined with trite 'Brexity' 1950s/60s cod nostalgia and an 'uplifting' moral message at the end.

People who like this voted Leave. I am convinced of it.

"Ooh arrr, life were 'arder back then, but we was 'appy. And there were none of them............eevah".

"Cor blimey, guv'nah".

Etc. etc.

sat in front of the fire with a nice Bourgueil and reading The Thirty-Nine Steps. Peace to all men. Especially me.

The Thirty-Nine Steps

Good book. If only I could remember how it ended.

Forest gump on some sky movie channel. Eating wasabi peas.

The MIL has some Supervet programme on, I retreated to the computer room with my guitar

I own 4 Crass albums

I got a book about the Straight Edge movement for chrimbo and have Dead Kennedys Frankenchrist on vinyl.......I feel your pain

just settling down to watch 'The Dark Tower'. i am happy

Has the bitter disappointment set in yet?

Make Call the midwife mildly more bearable by silently reminding yourself that you've seen the nun's tits. 🙂

Which one (genuinely)?

Jenny Agutter?

I got a book about the Straight Edge movement for chrimbo

Ditto! Was it the one by Tony Rettman?

Back from the parents' kids asleep, poking about on here, drinking tea and eating jelly beans, life is good right now.

We also had a family family sing along in the van to this on the way to Christmas lunch.

This one?

Then yes indeedy, looks brill

has got Call the Midwife on, how on earth has this shite even been commissioned ????

You wash your dirty mouth out, heathen.

That's the badger, does look good.

Nevermind.. There's Mrs brown's boys to look forward to later..

Watched The Queen, now waiting for Rocknrolla to DL as the Mrs can’t believe there’s a film with Idris, Tom Hardly AND Gerard Butler she hasn’t seen!

Celebrities in Lapland.
The bottom of the barrel has been reached.

Nope.

See?

The mistake is handing over your remote to guests. Do you let them sleep in your bed and drive your car as well?

Good book. If only I could remember how it ended.

rather limply really.

And the film is completely different of course.

We escaped the almost comedy Christmas dinner at the in-laws.

I'm thoroughly depressed. I've eaten and drunk too much, feel fat and lethargic and am convinced I've frittered away several months training since the weekend.

Watching First Dates :-/

Currently sat with the folks, my mother, bless her, has the most shocking taste in television. Corry, EastEnders and Emerdale. Now sitting through two hours of Victoria, what a load of shite.

I’ve just found all that all the shit I’ve been forced to endure was recorded.

After looking at the TV schedule for the Christmas period I would like to say thank-you Jesus for giving us Netflix, Kodi and Amazon Prime.

Was it?
Are you [i]sure[/i]? 😉

Queen or Wood?

Equally horrific, but I just wondered.

I wS having a post dinner snooze and I was trying to figure out what the squeaky noise was.
It was my host highlighting things in the radio times. He must have circled 4 things on every page to record.
If I can find one thing a week that’s worth watching it’s a result.

We watched Wonderwoman last night. Sat here this morning feeling sad that I wasted 2hours of my life.

Did the same Glasgowdan. Not a great movie at all. Eye candy is about it.

We had to watch Death in Paradise!

We don't watch much tv, if at all, however seasonal exceptions made for Doctor Who and Snow White and the Huntsman, both of which were fab.

Just a couple of examples:

You do realise different people like different things?

I see people confusing opinion with fact here......

No, they’re shite.

Those kinda programmes are designed to make the watcher comatose, they’re written that way to keep the watcher indoors.

I kinda like em’ for that reason alone. 😆

they’re written that way to keep the watcher indoors.

All TV programmes are written that way.

Because that’s where where all the TVs are.

Even the most cursory glance at the TV schedules over Christmas will remind you why god invented Netflix, Amazon Prime and on-demand box sets.

Is there a Miranda Christmas Special? I bet there is, isn’t there?

We spent a fantastic Christmas evening binge watching Game of Thrones. Nothing says Christmas like tits, dragons and massive gory blood-fests 😀

Oops. Double post
