4.and, the least favourite present?

5.Finally, have you got any ills this Christmas?
I.E. flu, common cold,etc.

My answers are
1.Watched the end of Top of the pops to see who was number one.Queens speech.A bit of Harry Potter.
Dr Who (a must!) Wallace and Gromit-Royle Family-Blackadder

2.Most definitely not!! I never shop on Boxing Day on principle.All shops should be closed on this day.They should give the shop assistants an extra day off.These shops think nothing of profit than the welfare of shop assistants.No wonder Christmas is too commercialised!!!

3.Argos vouchers.

4.Handkerchiefs!! I will not be using these things.Not very hygienic.I'd rather use disposable paper tissues!!

5.oh yes,Santa has given me a nasty cold once again!!!
Feeling rather pi$$ed off with catching a cold every Christmas.I am forever clearing my throat,and coughing.
I feel as if I've got the flu,but I don't think it is one,as I'm pretty sure I have just got a bad cold.Lem-sip with honey tonight me thinks!!
Pah,humbug!!!
Oh well,hope you all have had a nice Christmas so far.
Be back soon to read your comments as I'm going to see Wallace and Gromit now.
See you then.

Hi, Imhotep. Hope you've had a good day so far.

1. The Golden Compass - meh. Not what I was expecting.
Doctor Who.
Wallace and Gromit.

2. Of course I'll be hitting the Boxing Day sales - I'm at work on Saturday AND Sunday. There's a few things missing from my letter to Santa so I'll be out bargain hunting.

3. Favourite pressie? Among others I got

Iron Man (2 disc special edition)
Three Men In A Boat / Three Men In Another Boat
(Dara O' Briain, Griff Rhys Jones & Rory McGrath)
Charley Boorman: Ireland to Sydney By Any Means

so it's all good.

4. All the ones on the list I didn't get. Never mind.

5. For once I appear to be sniffle free - although I once had Measles at Christmas, when I were a lad.

Get well soon

[imhotep]

Many thanks for your comments folks.Much appreciated!!

As most of you said,there has been nothing much new on TV today,but we did have Dr Who and Wallace and Gromit which were very good though.
I just love Wallace and Gromit.They always make me smile and laugh.They certainly have made my day.
Now on TV is more dancing.This time on ice.Not my cup of tea!! I find that the ice dancing is all the same to me.So,I will give it a miss.Very boring!!
Thanks for your kind comments Judge,having just made an almighty sneeze.Phew!! I hope I feel better tomorrow after a good nights sleep.I'm having a glass of Sloe gin at the moment.Anyone having a glass of something.
I will definitely have my Lem-sip with honey later.
Mmmmm....

[Rosetta]

1) Wallace and Gromit, Dr Who, Christmas Strictly Come Dancing, Royle Family

2) nope

3) Couple of cds so I can add them to my ipod. Beatles Rubber Soul and Sgt Pepper

4) Nothing really, I like all my pressies

5) Nothing wrong at the moment though Mr R is still recovering from a sore throat/ cough.
Unless I can count having to spend Christmas day with my mother in law LOL

[imhotep]

Have you checked down the back of the sofa Barmaid.The remote might be there.

I like your answer to question 3 badcompany.
Heh,heh,heh.........

As for you Judge,what channel was The Golden Compass on? It doesn't matter though as I've got the DVD of it. Oh yes,IRON MAN looks good.I saw this film on the big screen.I might get this on DVD some time.

I don't think I'll give any further star ratings as AB is still playing up these days.I keep having to click on the Refresh button all the time.This constant white screen gets on my nerves.
Anyway,got to go again now as The Royle Family is now on.
Catch you later.......

[imhotep]

Oooh,hello Rosetta.
Hope your Christmas Day is running smoothly,despite your other half feeling unwell.Hope he gets well soon!!

hope you get well soon imhotep, i hear alcohol kills the germs that cause colds, so take plenty with good friends.. :-)

[imhotep]

THanks for the advice Jamie.
Alcohol kills the germs that cause colds, eh!

Mmmm,I like the sound of that.I will definitely heed your advice.In moderation of course.

[Rosetta]

Hi, imhotep. Christmas Day now running much more smoothly now that mil has gone and we can veg in front iof the tv. Hope yours went well too

[imhotep]

It went pretty good thanks Rosetta.
Although when my mum and I went to my niece's house for most of the day,I totally forgot to bring along my gifts for them.Doh!! Never mind,they said they will call at our place sometime tomorrow or the day after.
Did you watch Wallace and Gromit?
This programme really made my day,as well as Dr Who.

[Rosetta]

Yes, watched both of them. What an imagination that man has, and what skill in producing the animation.

[imhotep]

Yes,it's a pity that the film was so short.
I suppose it would cost quite a lot to produce a 45 minute or 1 hour Wallace and Gromit film.
Still,it really was entertaining to watch.

Nothing much on for Boxing Day TV.Usual old films and plenty of soaps as usual.I never watch soaps.

Although I've got it on DVD,I might watch the sequel to the Pirates of the Caribbean :Dead Man's Chest.

[Rosetta]

Have I missed The African Queen LOL. Christmas isnt Christmas without that and several other regulars.
Hope you have a nice day tomorrow.
