Goo Goo Dolls - This Is Christmas

DvB

Was only thinking yesterday on the way home from work in the car, I normally wait until Christmas FM launches before indulging myself and listening to christmas tunes, but have decided this year given the year its been to throw all my old 'traditions' and start everything a little earlier. So will be using advert day (Nov.1st) as my benchmark instead. The fact I was updating my christmas playlists back in July/August may have been an indication the urge was strong this year. I genuinely don't ever remember wanting to fast forward this much through September & October as I do this year.

A few minutes ago, Marty Whelan on Lyric FM said it's 94 days to Christmas, and played a teeney, weeney, tiny bit of I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas.

In fairness Marty has always been a legend!

To replace my Christmas music playlists and ChristmasFM I spend alot of time listening to podcasts I really recommend Peter Crouch's Podcast, it's a good look behind the scenes of life of a footballer and it's really funny too.

I also recommend Shagged, Married, Annoyed. Chris & Rosie Ramsey, a podcast where a married couple talk and answer dilemmas, pure comedy and very accurate Representation of real married life and not the Hollywood Instagram view of the perfect life.

Speaking of podcasts that reminds me.....

I'm usually quite late to a lot of the popular tv shows when they're big and i don't have Netflix, so i tend to usually wait until series is completed and buy the complete boxset.

About 6 weeks before Christmas i decided to read Game Of Thrones as never got into it when it was aired, but my dad and brother were fans so i have easy access to both books and dvds. I gave myself a deadline that i'd be finished reading the books by Christmas which i completed in time, up to the most recent one anyway, (i'm a little frustrated that the books aren't finalised now that i've gotten into it). Now that i've finshed the books i'm working my way through the boxset and am finishing up on season 2 at the moment.

Peaky Blinders & Narcos were other shows i never watched but i have the boxsets for them now to binge watch when i complete GOT.

I’m currently watching the celebrity crystal maze Christmas special I had recorded.

Was Listening to The Tubridy show at Dublin Airport Dec 23rd Podcast episode yesterday. And it’s emotional to say the least.

I’ve haven’t seen one episode of Downtown Abbey. Am I missing out?

If you like: custom dramas, great dialogue (Maggie Smith has the best lines !), the dynamics of upstairs/downstairs, I would say:

Give it a go !

So I finally watched Downton Abbey the Movie.
I am a massive fan of the series, so enjoyed seing the characters one more time.
Wished I was watching it at home at Christmas-time, with a suitable seasonal drink in hand (instead of being in a crowded cinema) though !
Any other Downton fans out here ?

Guilty as charged. Myself & the mrs watched them all as they aired, that was back in the day when we had to wait a week between episodes and almost a year between seasons!! Will watch the movie but not at the cinema.

Peaky Blinders - very late to the party as I only watched the previous series and this one.

Am looking forward to (after seeing the short trailer) World on Fire as I love a good WW2 drama.

Love Peaky Blinders, & agree, world on fire looks good too in the trailers I've seen so far.

BBC also have a 3 part series of 'War of the Worlds' due to be shown too, for the first time its actually set in Victorian England, as was the HG Wells book. Looking forward to that also.

Two I have been watching recently are;

Workaholics- bit of brain dead American comedy. Easy watching as doesn't require much (any) thinking.

Deutschland 83- cold war drama, spies and stuff. Early days but liking it so far. Second series is 86.

Just heard on the radio this morning that filming is about to start on a new gavin and stacey Christmas special for 2019... if its half as good as the previous one I'll be a cracker!

Just finished ozark and we thought it was great, Laura Linney is superb in it. Currently watching killing eve and really liking it, must admit I'm developing a little bit of a crush on Jodie Comer too... 4 episodes in and its holding up well.

I don't have Netflix, so rely on the BBC series.

Enjoyed: Fleabag, Shetland and Bodyguard.
Currently enjoying: Years and Years, Mum, Summer of Rockets.

Chernobyl is very good. No idea why they all have English accents though.

I think I read somewhere that rather than have the actors potentially have really bad Russian accents, they went for English.
