Kids just put in bed by 9. Me and the missus left alone with 2 bottles of Lidl's cheapest plonk to enjoy.

my kids have no interest in the toy show, never had and never will. it's something that we adults watch for nostalgia but it'll die out eventually. i actually don't enjoy it either, there's nothing christmassy about it anymore, its a stage for tone deaf Tubridys ego and a showcase for the billie barries and other pretentious stage schools. Ugh thats not what christmas is about at all.

We just put the tree up. Its really gaudy with all non environmentally friendly tinsel and plastic baubles. Its beautiful.

I wonder what sort of tree Ryan has.

In the Gaybo days it used to be the show when the most popular toys were show cased, that kids could get an actual preview of what toys they wanted before they went to see "Santy". It had an actual purpose with the toys being the crux of it. You had the odd Billy Barry routine to make up the running time. Now it's the inverse. Routine after routine with some toy reviews done to validate it being called the "Toy" show. It's akin to a long advert for those schools of "performance and dance".

I disagree.
I grew up watching the toy show in the late 70s early 80s.

We were annually pissed off with the abundance of Billy Barry kids and the shortage of actually talking about the toys.

Awh brilliant.

It's missing the bit at the end where Croft walks off with the two boys.

The two boys had no interest in her, just wanted to play the game.

I imagine it's Dickensian with lots of candles and red bows.

Show needs more product placement, for example plucking Tubs the turkey and placing him in a nearby oven. This would drive a surge in sales, thus boosting the economy. Tubs meeting his maker would be a fringe benefit.

There wouldn't be much meat on that turkey.

Can you take a call from a sun/mirror/star reporter tomorrow?

Kinetica2019

Weather forecast on now...lots of snow forecast for the rest of the night!

Yeah I think the "professional" dance troupes should not be allowed on the show. It's a bit like allowing professionals in to the Olympics, or allowing Dublin play in the All Ireland :pac:

Is he going to get changed quickly?

He would have that bit pre recorded on a VHS tape from earlier in the day, Cat. I know a thing or two about the TV production game.
