If there wasn't a million other things I want to spend my money on, I might be tempted for £89.99.

Jamie Lee has a cock? Don't tell the Syrians.

There was a long-standing and utterly false rumour that she was a trans woman, which never once put me off 

 

That Trading Places scene

You're forgetting it took about 6 months for US films to get their UK theatrical release. 

 

Aye, so the London premier was in 1977 but it wasn't released nationwide until a canny bit later, well into 1978. I definitely remember queuing round the block for it in warm weather. 

Or maybe I'm losing my marbles, defintiely possible. 

anyway, NOT A FUCKING CHRISTMAS FILM no matter how you dice it.

This is fucking fake news unless you went to the premier. Old man is losing his marbles.

 

It was 47 yrs ago, I was 9.

Where's your Christmas film recommendation, you cheerful cunt. We're not watching Threads, before you start.

Sounds like a good one for my favourite old film watching activity. Check the cast to see who's still alive and who had the worst death.

 

I discovered that the son off Mary Poppins died really young playing this game. Went travelling and came back with some nasty disease that ended him iirc.

And for those who were too young/can’t remember/not born yet THERE WAS A WORLD CUP THAT SUMMER! 😀

 

 

There was so much to watch and listen to… the music from Grease and SNF seemed to be everywhere, my sister played the arse off both soundtracks to the extent I still know every lyric by heart to every song from Grease ☺️ No one at school had seen a World Cup before, and no one had seen posters like this popping up all over the place, we just lost our fuckin shit completely  what a time to be alive…

She was still a ride in Christmas with the cranks. Not so much in the Halloween sequels, they were hard to wank to. Not impossible… just hard.

Her tits scene in TPs genuinely had me ....

Rents will be telling us Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Great Escape aren’t Christmas films next

My favourite Christmas films are a Christmas carol, (George C Scott version) and errr.....? 

 

 

(I genuinely can't think of any others off the top of my head).

 

I never understand how something like die hard is A. a great film, and B. a Christmas film but I'm just a simple chap.

You forgot Zulu and The Guns of Navarone.

I especially love the latter as it happens but a Christmas film it ain't.

As I'm now working Monday to Friday I'm having to put the Christmas stuff up today which has me in a slightly irritable mood as well as taking the kids to the hairdressers in North Shields as going somewhere local is just a silly thing to do, (the eldest used to go to South Shields so at least it's getting closer). The youngest one's car is fucked and someone's coming out to fix it at some point in the day as well. Hoping to have everything done in time for the match later on.
