More turkey, more chocolates, left-over pudding, everyone's sick of the decorations, everyone's sick of playing Scrabble, Meet me in St Louis on the TV again


Must be Boxing Day.

My sentiments exactly - I enjoyed yesterday but already I want to get back to normal, whatever 'normal' is!

It's strange, Boxing Day is always a very lively day for me as we have all my mom's family over. You have to book airpsace in advance if you want to get a word in! In fact I ought to go and start making that giant pasta bake...

We're all going to my sister's this evening.  I don't know why she bothers to invite anyone really as she and her husband seem to spend most of the time either studying the TV pages or leaping up and down to adjust the Video/DVD recorder!  Personally I've given up recording anything as I never get round to watching it - if I miss it I miss it and it will be on again sometime.

Royal Institootion Chrismas lectures looks good.  It's about diet and nootrition.

Just been watching and now cos it's on C5 got to have commercials.  Not seen this prog for a few years but the kids always used to be nice and middle class.  Now they are more restless and ordinary. 


These lectures should be on BBC, whatever happened?  More dumbing down I expect.

The kids in the audience are a rabble.  The programme illustrates the decay in society, specially the youth. I'm not a snob but it's just sad.

Yes, we noted that these lectures used to be on BBC2. Channel Five is a strange channel. Sometimes they have really interesting documentaries and programmes - then they have really smutty or nasty violent films.

Chocoboo, aren't you curious about who Bounty is? After all, you joined after Bounty left the forum, many people have compared you - but you haven't asked a single question about him...

I've obviously been looking through old threads and noticed the name but I can't think of any questions to ask.  What's with this Bounty anyway?  My name is Denny not Andy. I work at Boots and start at 06:30.  Hope that satisfies your curiosities.

No and not really.  But I knew what insect 623 meant because I've seen it in a book.  This was just uploaded from the web.

chocoboo do you know of any pink butterflies or are there not any?
Title: Boxing Day
Post by: chocoboo on December 30, 2005, 05:48:03 am

Funnily enough I don't think there are any Butterflies what are pink but there are a few moths.  This is called a wallpaper moth.  Elephant Hawkmoths are also pink but I can't find any pics of them.

Oh but it does sound rude! My kids nearly wet themselves when she comes out with silly things like that. Another one of hers was that Liberace composed Tchiakovsky's Piano Concerto!
