The Virtual Lounge

[Anonymous]

well, fluffy onesie on + donkey brown boottee-tyle slippers

cuppa Twinnings tea = everyday variety, decaff + s/sk milk = no sugar +

Blue Ribband original choccy bic to hand

checking on my cat Marvellous Marty the Magnificent = beside me in his pet-bed under the wooden desk 

on which new basic desktop printer will be put = on or around next payday ..... I mean upon the wooden desk not upon the cat  

kicked my old basic Epson printer in frustration many many months ago 

therapeutic for me for about 3 nano-seconds but really, really bad for the printer 

well, let's see if there are many takers for my initial entry into the off-top unofficial world of 'the lounge area'

Out of everything on tonight Planet Earth was my programme of choice but if I can't watch it without interruptions I wont even try. Tonight was impossible. Still I will give a go in an hour....

Hope you get round to watching in peace. As for Jungle programmes, I'm with @MI5 on this....

It's some time since I watched 'the Jungle'

Mindst you, I understand Ola Jordan is a 'contestant'

Wouldn't mind seeing her covered with wriggly things or eating them ... considering ... she mouthed off & had a hissy fit when she got Ewan Thomas when she wanted Peter Andre in last year's Strictly Come Dancing

You should have tuned in tonight then Jane...Ola and 3 others did a trial were they were sealed in a crypt... had to lie down and stay there for 10 minutes in the dark whilst thousands and thousands of creepy crawlies were poured over them (Cockroaches, spiders, rats etc etc etc) They did well....

Talking about the John Lewis Christmas advert...I see they have had some backlash from 'the school of the criminally stupid'. Apparently John Lewis have 'ignored the risks of bovine TB by featuring a badger'

I had to read it twice to see if they were joking....FGS

Poor John Lewis just can't get it right. Last year's advert received backlash from idiots who said it was promoting paedophilia (apologies if I've got the spelling wrong). Now JLP are promoting badger TB (a misnomer). And Father Christmas seriously. I could understand the latter comments if from children but from adults, who should by now know there is no Father Christmas, beggars belief.

Clearly, people have nothing better to do. I say get a life. I love the advert as I did last year's and see nothing wrong with either.

There will always be people who find something to take offence at.

Indeed...many people set themselves as 'watchdogs for the nation' and are nothing other than permanently offended. Taking offence at a cgi badger bouncing on a trampoline with cgi foxes??...I think they need help

actually!
