More Bah, and a Dash of Humbug

I *can not* believe that the Vicar of Dibley, starring 'professional fat chick' Dawn French, was a rating smash this christmas!

I was forced to watch this steaming pile of shite, because I didn't want to be a 'TV terrorist' and dictate that we should have been watching something better, while our christmas dinners weighed heavy on our stomach's and the acrid smell of burnt plastic and xmas pud wafted over from the microwave.

Who wrote this tosh? Quite frankly, my arse could have farted a better plot line, which, by the way, was more transparent than a Blair lie.

It was just one clumsy setup for lame 'gags' after another, culminating in the most obvious ending ever.

"Well why don't you write something better then, if it was that bad"

I might just have to do that....

For me, the funniest thing on TV this christmas (apart from watching Mr Hussein dangle) was the contestants on Deal or No Deal think they have a strategy in choosing which box to open next! The looks on their faces when their chosen strategy knocks out all the 'power 5' boxes can only be likened to that of Del Boy's when he falls over in the pub - absolute comedy!

I love it when they walk away with just 1p!

Is it wrong for me to laugh at other peoples mis-placed optimism? :-) I say, do it to them before they do it to you!

yup, I even will them to pick the 'power 5'. I seem to have more success than them picking the blue numbers :-D

How much longer can that quiz go on. It's basically tossing a coin over and over again.

I have not watched since Noel was on some chat show and freely admitted that there have been a couple of £250,000 winners which they decided not to show because it spoils the mystique of the show.

I thought that was a bit like him admitting that he thought all of his audience were as thick as planks but that was OK, they're as thick as planks, they won't realise he just insulted them.

Is that true? Ah well, that makes me feel even better, cos I can watch and laugh, safe in the knowledge there wont be any big winners!
