Hogmany tv - what would you do?

Post by Beach Babe » 01 Jan 2005, 23:17

I ask because I genuinely don't know what I would do if I were in charge of the tv scheduling but could it be any worse

For the last x-number of years we've either gone out or I've been working at Hogmanay but this year I was off and having Neo-Dada meant staying in so we were subjected to the crapiness that was last night's tv :roll:

I mean, the Gaelic song on BBC at one point sounded like she was singing "s-h-i-t-e-y s-h-i-t-e-y nappy". And maybe it's me, but I just don't "get" some of the humour churned out on the 31st. Think Channel 4 had the best idea tbh

can you tell I consoled myself with the wine bottle last night lol

Is number one on the gaelic ghgyibbnslo (chart) at the moment.

I have to say that anything with Jackie Bird in it is very difficult to like. As for the rest? It made Tam Cowan look funny.
PS: I hope your husband doesn't observe your thread title. :wink:

I've been hearing curiously good things about Lorraine Kelly today - although I think the individual in question may have consumed the best part of five litres of Belgian lager before the Dundonian "temptress" (his description) appeared on screen.

Did you get your drinking done Porty?

I eventually got round to it yesterday, went to Foresters to watch the game, take it you would be there. I also think that Lorraine Kelly is hot she has a smouldering sexual allure.

I would not have anything on TV except a bells check either side of midnight. 8)

BTW the Foresters was brilliant yesterday. Standing room only, free hot pie at half time of Hearts match then Gloucester v Leicester (rugby) live on TV after the football. Lots of drinks, sport and laughs. Magic Day :D

Porty, I'm beginning to really worry about you. Getting all emotional about the loss of your youth and now fancying Lorraine Kelly..I mean...Lorraine Kelly :shock: :shock: Here was me thinking you were tougher than the rest 8)

Didn't actually see her on the tele Foxy. I'm just thinking of her irritating 'interview' technique which relies on a lot of "Oh I know" . Still, maybe Porty doesn't require her to do a lot of talking :wink:

Why is it they can't show some of the live music? I would have loved a peek at Scissor Sisters/Blondie performing live.

She still looks fine but she must be about 49 or 50?

I wasn't referring to how she looks or her age...just her poor singing performance :shock:

Nearly in her sixties I'd have thought? She was in her thirties wasn't she when Blondie took off?

*just Googled her. Born 1945*

OoooH getting touchy there Foxy. :roll: :roll: :shock: :roll: :shock:

Actuyally I meant a fair age to still be a rock icon, there are not many female rockers still "rockin" at almost 60. 60 is still quite young for most ornery folk. I would say

Not touchy for myself you understand :wink:

I think she looks brilliant for 60 but time to hang up the leather jacket I would say

Girls, each to their own opinion I know, but I have to say that
I have actually met LK personally, and she is a lovely, lovely person, very kind, sweet and understanding, not at all irritating.
I didn't like her dress though :!: :)

And men are not nearly as shallow as you seem to think. It's not just about looks for us. Kirsty Wark, for example, has always appealed to me. She isn't conventionally beautiful but she is confident, cool and clever and I would be happy to share her Spanish villa anytime.
