    Does anyone bother with the tv on Christmas day though?

    Its the perfect time to suffer through those dvd's you didn't want or like.

    Im at home at the parents and I dunno what to do with myself.

    DVDs are all motorsport so noone else wants to watch them. Broadband is rubbish, no PS3, and all we have on DVD is the Royle Family. which is ****e.

    so im on boards, entertain me my puppets!

    Just seen Shrek the 3rd is on BBC1 until 16:30, then 5 minutes after it starts on RTE 1. The exaaaaact same film....:(

    Do the ****ing idiots at RTE not realise when they do moronic ****e like this. Arrogant tossers probably done it on purpose....:mad:

    The one time of year i'll bother to sit down and watch a half decent movie, problem is, there are no half decent movies on today. I watched Scrooged though which i did enjoy. Do we really need deal or no deal on xmas day?

    I always "acquire" a stash of good films before heading for the sticks. Sherlock Holmes last night, Toy Story 3, Inception or Somewhere later.

    Hopefully the Royale Family will be better than last year, can't decide if I'll risk the new camp "reality tv" comedy set in an airport at 10.

    If you don't watch soaps and "family" films you are snookered.

    RTE1 are screening a 90 min Gerry Ryan profile tomorrow at about 9.20 I won;t be watching but I might just try to catch the last 10 mins...;)

    I've spent the past few hours flicking around looking for something to watch. Have Eragon on in the background, Sienna Guillory provides a minor distraction. Although Blackadder's Christmas carol is on now which might do for a bit.

    There was: BBC had Singin' In The Rain, followed by The Man Who Would Be King. Later tonight RTE 2 has The Departed soon, and Carrie is on C4 just after midnight. :p
