Ok,TV is shyte at the best of times but, how bad is it going to be this year ?

I can't even bear to think of all those re-reruns of Pery Homo's Christmas carol and all that excrement.

Better buy some decent DVD's I think :roll:

the telly can be truly awfull at christmas can't it :roll: mind you, it's bad all the time these days!! makes you wonder why tv licences are so expensive! :shock: you're right jmw, a few dvd's are in order 8)

last christmas i inflicted a whole day of the history channel onto the family :twisted: :twisted:

I'm looking forward to seeing some of the classic films on TV.

Like George Raft and Veronica Lake in "Floating Timber".

Would have been better with Tony Danza in it obviously. 8)

I'm counting the days to Mary Poppins got to give Mr Van Dyke an airing surely. :wink:

And christmas wouldn't be the same without Jason and the Argonauts

And Alan...I've noticed you lurking in a very OldSchool way on DSUK.

You should put up a thread for DS recommendations...you know you want one!

We need a good thread starting asking for buying advice Alan!

Just don't listen to any of the idiots with Caponords though!

The only tv i can look forward to is the choice between 4 news channels as that is the only reception we have in our apartment here in sydney :roll:

Well im looking forward to seeing the Incredibles, which is out here until boxing day

You know, every year he goes for that jump and every year he ends up the 'Cooler King.'

I got that card last year too

Truth Be Known......Steve McQueen never even attempted that fence! :shock: ........his old riding partner Bud Ekins actually made that jump on a Triumph painted to look like a German Military bike. :roll:

Thats why he didn't make it then it's that bloody Trumpets fault #-o

McQueen and Ekins spent a day building the ramp and taking turns jumping it. But when it was time to film the director wouldn't let his "Star" do it. Mcqueen was also one of the Germans chasing "himself' on film as the stunt guys couldn't keep up with him.

Get the book "Steve McQueen. A bad boy in Holywood" and you'll be surprised what he got up too. He truly was a nutter!
