Page 1 of Simpsons Spoilt Christmas!

I know it`s my own fault for getting married but why do men have to watch every pi**ing episode of the Simpsons they can find on TV?

My husband should be called Homer. Not because he`s a beer swilling couch potato but because he must have some sort of `homing` device that can track down each and every episode on the TV.

Christmas Day

9.20 - 9.55am CH 4 The Simpsons
1.05 - 2.00pm CH 4 The Simpsons again
5.00 - 9.00pm SKY The Simpsons yet again... Back-to-back! (this is the way we slept last night too!!

Is it a man/woman thing? Or is it just me that thinks Christmas time is all about `the whole family`. Good food, fine wine, good game of something (the game this year was `who wants to be a millionaire dvd).

OK, rant over, let`s see if we`re still talking when he gets up this afternoon!

Jill, yes it`s a guy thing.

If there had been footy on tv, many men would have watched that.

There is a way forward - try a panasonic dvd recorder and sky+ like we have.

I can record chunks of stuff without interrupting other activities or watch something else at the same time. Then watch later when my wife is out - usually buying up all shoes she can find in case the shops run out.

This is one instance of technology being put to a very good use!

Hope it didn`t spoil your day too much - and I bet you looked scrummy too!

Already have a Pioneer 420 - I`m sat here catching up on stuff I`ve recorded because I KNOW he doesn`t like the soaps!

Yep, I looked fantastic slaving away in the kitchen all afternoon cooking dinner. Anyone for turkey sandwiches??

Happy new year everyone!

Not quite just you girls.
Last night I sat and watched while my niece (21) who has every friends episode on video and DVD challenged my daughters boyfriend (16) to the friends DVD quiz. Close run thing but niece won.
As she said (in a somewhat superior tone) "Listen mate, I`m older and I`ve been watching them longer"

Ah! the joys of Christmas.

I didn`t get the luxury of watching The Simpsons yesterday, too much going on with family, pub, dinner & kids (Daleks) presents.

I haven`t watched the Simpons regularly in years as much as I enjoy them, the tired old Christmas Day schedule on Sky ie pretty much same as any other day, bloated out with Homer ad nauseum is a pretty good reason not to have the TV on in the first place until something decent is being shown ie BBC1 7pm. ;)



I quite like the Helpdesk people in a benevolent (as opposed to malevolent) way as they do some valuable work in preventing us being inundated by every halfwit who can work a phone.

I don`t like The Simpsons and I absolutely HATE Friends, so you can imagine the task it is for me to avoid them most days. :)

Could have done with 2.5 hours of The Doctor, not endless bloody soaps. >:(
