Hooray! it's back again and it'd better be available on DVD because i'll be watching it every christmas. The new talking heads were indeed fantastically grumpy especially Ronni Ancona, but i couldn't help but miss the dry wit of other grumpies such as Will Self and Arthur Smith. All aspects of the christmas period were under scrutiny, and as usual i was in full agreement with most of the grumping, i do however think that you should aim to get as many dinners down you as possible as good home cooking is hard to come by.
I did the single man's weekly basket shop on tuesday and like the grumpies was apalled by the amount of goods people were buying, it was like there was some sort of nuclear holocaust or solar wind on its way and we would be forced to live underground for 7 years and mine for a living. The tills were just chocca, all i needed was my usual weekly but was forced to wait in a massive queue of panic buyers in a state of hysteria about the supermarkets being shut for one day.
May i take this opportunity to extend not my christmas wishes but my heartfelt comiserations to those who will be stuck in their living rooms with family singing along to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang when all they want to do is to get out for a run. Once the fantastic dinners and pleasantries of christmas day are over i intend to disassociate myself lock, stock and barrel from the whole affair and lavish gifts upon myself which i shall brag about on here in due course. BTW, the Go Outdoors sale starts on boxing day at 10am and they are selling Mudclaw 330s for £50, just say you're going to the bog and climb out of the window.
I'll let Ozzy Osbourne finish it off: "christmas is a total waste of money and time."
