(no subject)
Hellooooooooo! I haven't posted since my drabbles on the early hours of Christmas day, so now I get to do the fun "What I got" post! Yay!
So ... Rachie's haul...
A Simpsons DVD from my Dad's friend
Both series of I'm Alan Partridge on DVD
Series 2 of Phoenix Nights DVD
A lava lamp
A Sunderland away shirt (which we're returning because they didn't have a small when Dad went in and the medium he bought me was too big, and they should have some small ones in now)
A mini water dispenser-cooler thing
The Saga of Darren Shan book 10
That Book (full of useless facts! Woo!)
Lots of chocolate
Nail-dry spray
£30 HMV vouchers (DVDs/Music)
£10 Topshop vouchers (clothes)
£25 WH Smiths vouchers (Books/Music/DVDs/Vids/allsorts!)
£20 Borders vouchers (Books/DVDs/Vids)
£10 H Samuel vouchers (jewellery)
£180 in cheques and cash
An Ant & Dec book and a little book of excuses
An executive desk gong, belt bank and map of Serbia, FYROM and the Ukraine
A musical tie
and a heap of other little things. I also got a printer for my parents a few weeks ago (which is now broken and we're returning, grrr) which is also a present.
Now, the other thing I wanted to talk about ... the Christmas TV! Some good, some bad...
The Office
I tuned in. I watched. I was under the impression this was supposed to be a comedy? Obviously I was wrong.
EastEnders
Aaaaaaaw! Alfie and Kat finally got married! Aaaaw so cute. And it was all legal and stuff. They deserve to be happy! Aaaaaw! Kill all the other characters though. As Peter Kay said at the TV awards last year - "Eastenders, or as me mum calls it, 'I'd slit my wrists if it wasn't for Shane Richie'" :D
Corrie/Emmerdale/any other soaps
Booooooooring. Looking forward to Emmergale though. LMFAO @ that terrible pun the advertisers were using.
Posh & Becks Big Impression
Not very funny.
Only Fools & Horses
I like Trigger. "What are they going to do about it then, Dave?" Heee.
Top 100 TV Moments of 2003
The fucking Rugby a-fucking-gain. I should have given up on the Christmas TV here and holed myself away with Darren Shan and my Partridge DVDs, shouldn't I? *huff* Thankfully, it got better!
French & Saunders, Actually
Hee, I love them! Their Matrix thing was even funny to me, Girl Who Hasn't Seen It.
World Idol
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah! Kelly to win! I hate Will Young! With a fiery passion! But he should come second. The German guy was a maniac (so, well chosen song then!)! And the Polish judge - Simon said it! - MORON! But YAY for Ant & Dec presenting it. I love them so much. Which leads me nicely on to ...
The Last Ever SM:tv Live
*huggles the lads* obviously they're out of the swing of the whole 'Saturday morning TV' thing because they just laughed their way through all the sketches. But I love them so much! Possibly even more than ever before! I do! And Dec and Cat kissed again in Chums! I recorded it to keep like I did when they left the show, but it wasn't all that great - if one day we figure out which wires are needed to record from video to video I shall put The Secret of My Success and Chums on the end of the other tape. Perhaps. Because possibly the last CD:UK runs right to the end of the tape but I shall see. Anyway. Rambling. But kissage, aaaaw! They were laughing. It was sweet. "Me and Cat, all alone in the flat." Bless!! *cough* Yeah I'm normal.
Finally, this is gacked from Ellie and Satine...
