To be honest I prefer this place, also look at the number of people in after/late box I'd agree with that. Problem is you don't get the extra random visitors, who gradually join and become an integral dare I say loved member of the group.. Amirite!? That was the best thing about the 'box. Random posters wondering in and either being completely bewildered or joining in (like me). |

I don't think much of their festive slogan either. "This Christmas, don't forget the futility of blind consumerism is your only hope to mask the pointlessness of your existence in a cold and uncaring universe. The Range, we embody the meaningless nature of this continued, shared seasonal charade". I call bullshit on that. Alcohol works even better than consumerism. |

Alcohol is a temporary solution to a permanent problem.

My nearest branch of The Range is 10.533 miles away

I am not tempted to visit.

I'm currently playing FF VII. It's the only one I've properly played, so in the absence of any other data it's the best VII is a great game. Back when I played it was a four disk special. I bought FF VII the day it was released, but I never finished it. Nearly 20 years later I'm on a mission. I'm only early days though, in Shinra headquarters. If I remember it right I've got a couple of boss battles coming up, then I meet lone wolf's avatar |

The only thing I like about the early start to Christmas adverts is, on E4, there's ladies prancing about in their undies.
I've no idea what they are trying to sell, but the adverts are better than the shows.
....something, joke, something about big bang.

I like the John Lewis advert with the blue monster with a knob for a nose. I’ve only seen it once.
Shenguin, aren’t the BBC channels the only ones without ads? Unless BabeStation doesn’t have ads?

It would be nicer if I wasn't being so abrasive and snobbish. :-( It does have a different tone from the G's Chatterbox. I like it. Less swearing and more navel-gazing. Mostly, I seem to be the nastiest and sweariest person here, which makes quite a change (unless I misjudged how I came across on the defunct 'box.) |

The GGB-Chatterbox is a broad church...
...but without the murders

More annoying than Christmas ads for me as I can avoid them generally by watching Netflix & amazon is papers writing actual reviews about them? God awful.
I did appreciate that the burglar in the M&S advert really does sound like he's saying Fuck you though.

Shenguin, you aren’t abrasive. A gentleman of the forum and blog.
I haven’t seen the m&s advert with the burglar.

The GGB-Chatterbox is a broad church... Broardchurch was on ITV, so I didn't watch it. Did you edit your comment? I was already typing a joke about Broadchurch. I feel I might be giving you a 1-0 finger wag. |

He sounds like he is saying ‘Thank you’ but with a Scouse accent...
Also, is that Brian Cox?

Shenguin, you aren’t abrasive. Thank you. Though I can't help notice that you didn't deny I was snobbish. I'm not really a snob. I'm listening to Jeno Jando's rendition of Beethoven's Appassionata at the moment, which always fills me with such profound feelings of sympathy and connectedness that I can quite empathise with hoi polloi. Also, Birmingham City lost tonight, which always makes me drink more and say stupider things, QED. |

Also, as a Boro supporter you have my commiserations. But, as Sheep said, your record is poor at the Riverside. (I think he actually travelled to the match. Imagine how he feels on the long drive back) EDIT: And you didn't say the hoi polloi. I am impressed. |

Shenguin, I don’t think you are a snob. It was a mistake on my part for not also saying that earlier. I apologise. I am sorry that football is rotten too.
Mark Benton was on Strictly in a silver or gold jumpsuit. I knew I recognised the face from somewhere.

Okay, it's time to set up tomorrow's box and go to bed.
Sadly I don't have Keef's advantage of scheduling them in advance. Not that he ever remembered to do it, the lazy sod.
(Just kidding, I miss the old bugger)

That's the great thing about football, whether you win or you lose there's always an excuse to drink. It's been a good week for me topping the champs league group so a beer was in order.
Boro /Birmingham are two teams the prem league is poorer without. Should do a straight swap with stoke and West ham
