lancer425 Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 Same to you Ditchman, and yes all over a boring day pretending to be interested, with covert phone calls to equally bored mates sorting out the finer points of tomorrows walk around. Seems like a lot of fuss for 24 hours to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCat Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 I can happily say I've haven't seen a minute of tv today. Long may it continue. Such an overhyped time of year and should be dialed back somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rst1990 Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 Not a lot of happy campers for Christmas on this forum is there lol i myself have had a fantastic time with friends and family, a lot of drink and even more laughter. Just sitting down now with the mrs to watch rubbish on tv and relax for tomorrow to see the hunt come in, to which family are in the hunt. Just hope the rain holds off. merry Christmas 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 Almost 35yrs now since we had a TV and do not miss it one little bit. Occasionally if we are away we will switch the hotel one on just to try and get the weather service but thta's all garbage today as well and the programmes... well, impossible for me to comment without having a lifetime ban from the forum for inappropriate language. Rose at 05.30, packed a flask and some biscits and drove 70 miles to our shoot and spent the early part of the day whacking a squirrel and watching wildlife as the sun came up over Shropshire, what a fabulous morning for a change. Then fitted a new set of steps to the gun trailer at the shoot, followed by another hour just watching wildlife coming to the feed the Keeper had just spread. Drove the 70 miles home, poured myself a Scotch and was then called for an evening meal of cold partridge breast, jacket potato, carrots and a smear of mango chutney folowed by a large dish of damazene crumble and a couple of mugs of strength 6 coffee. This just echos what I do most days, get up smile and enjoy the day whatever. Don't do these silly days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourites are the 50's, sixties when there was lots of authentic kit still available to use in the films Sea of Sand, the original Dunkirk and A Hill in Korea for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
