That’s a Thanksgiving film. Mids. One of a very small number. Best Christmas movies are: Trading Places and Die Hard. Honourable mention to: The Ref, Muppet Christmas Carol Among the very worst: The Holiday, Elf Thanksgiving and Christmas are the same thing. They're near the end of the year and you get together and have parties and eat turkey. |

Thanksgiving and Christmas are the same thing. They're near the end of the year and you get together and have parties and eat turkey. Wrong. Thanksgiving is a single day, with no religion and no presents and not really any decoration nonsense and none of the rubbish and effort and guilt and crap that surround Christmas. |

Christmas isn't religious. What are you on about? In America they've tried to introduce religion into it. Which is probably why we need Thanksgiving and you don't. |

The Nightmare Before Christmas
Scary enough for the little ones so they cuddle up to you, which is sweet. Great stop-motion animation, good story and songs, so not too boring for adults (well, me anyway, as long as I've got a beer).

A Christmas Carol, most versions though I like the one with Patric Stewart most.
I mean what's not to like, ghosts scaring the sh*t out of capitalists so they pay a living wage.

I saw Planes, Trains and Automobiles the other day. It doesn't rise to the level of brilliance but it's a very good, warm-hearted film. "Those aren't pillows!" |

3rd. December
World News - Latest
A woman has been reunited with the wedding ring she lost in a potato patch in the Western Isles 50 years ago.
Peggy MacSween believed she would never see the band again after it slipped off her finger while she gathered potatoes at her home on Benbecula.
But after recently learning of her lost ring, a fellow islander set out to find it with a metal detector.
Donald MacPhee unearthed it after three days of searching the area where the potato patch once was.
Mr MacPhee, who runs Benbecula's Nunton House Hostel, dug 90 holes and found pieces of old metal, drinks cans and ring pulls before finding the ring.

Heard a joke yesterday
Husband comes home all flustered says to his wife "I found out today the postmans slept with every woman on the street except one"
"Bet it's her at no 59, she's a right snob" replies the wife.

That's an old one. Paul Merton came out with a variation of it on Just a Minute, many years ago. The punchline was "Bet it's that stuck-up bitçh at No.32". Think he attributed it to Tommy Cooper, but may be wrong.
Mary announces to her mother that she is marrying the postman.
"What?" Her mum asks. "But he could be your father!"
Mary snorts. "Mum, age is just a number."
"No, dear, that's not what I meant"

My wife tells me two glasses of wine could lead to a stroke, but if she drinks the entire bottle she might suck it...

A young boy enters a barbershop and seeing him, the barber leans over to whisper in his customer's ear.
"This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch, I'll prove it to you."
The barber puts a dollar in one hand and two quarters in the other and holds them out for the boy to see.
"Hey kid, which one do you want?"
The boy takes the two quarters and leaves.
"See that?" the barber says. "I must have pulled that trick on him 20 times now and he still hasn't learned."

Christmas isn't religious. What are you on about? Christ. Nativity.
Am I missing something here?
