Telly

Christmas starts erlier every year doesn’t it? This year Telford Shopping Centre decided to light up their decorations on November the 5th, a kind of dual Guy Fawkes and Jesus Christ celebration. The best and worst thing about Christmas is the TV, there are some treats not to be missed and a load of shite. I need to start planning my TV viewing for the festive season soon.

Tonight on the telly was Richard and Judy’s Christmas Book Party featuring a lot of snotty nosed kids and R&J’s celebrity friends selling their books. God it was awful. I’m all for people reading more but seriously is reading Trinny and Susanna telling you what not to wear or how Gordon Ramsay’s dad was a twat really going to do much for the brain? hmmm

But to be fair it’s not just Christmas shit which is comforting the brain dead on a saturday night, oh no;

Strictly Come Dancing has been on the telly for 3 months so far and for some reason people keep watching it, god knows why. I tried to watch it all the way through today to see what all the fuss is about but it’s a no go.

The only thing worth watching was Eastender’s ‘Ruby’ outfit getting smaller and smaller every week but alas she’s just been voted off. Booo Hisss

I watched a bit of X-Factor tonight too, there is this one girl who has an amazing voice and should win the contest hands down although I fear for her career after the show – as previous winners have bombed in the past.

I’m off to watch more shit telly now, I’ll keep you informed.

UPDATE: The rest of Saturday nights TV was pretty shit to be honest. I watched a bit of 100 top Childrens TV which was recorded about 5 years ago, watched Danny Williams get his nose broken by Audley Harrison and then QI. All in all, a very dissapointing telly viewing session.

I’m sat at my desk now waiting and watching for the launch of a space shuttle, I love watching the launch stuff – it has the most noise and excitment. Just imagine how you’d be feeling right now if you were inside that shuttle waiting for a ton of explosives to ignite and send you to the heavens above at something like 17,000 miles per hour. I’d be shitting it.
