Evening all

In a room with some very noisy and over excited kids playing Mario Olympics on the Nintendo WII - the noise is intense

Hi Jog

Smash the Wii and send them to their rooms.

Hiya,

I fear that would cause much more noise..

Hiya,

Good point

What about that sleeping gas they use in the James Bond films?

[Jog On]

Nah no need- they're occupied and having fun.

Got to drive though later

[NickFitz]

I'm hoping to actually feel like having a spot of supper soon

Wonder what there is... there's usually a large ham, but I'm not sure I fancy ham...

No turkey leftovers for me, though

Best leave them to it then

Driving? Bad luck...

(I don't mean I'm wishing it on you, I'm commiserating with you )

Now my sister wants to watch some ludicrously long film on some digital channel.

Ho hum

Despite the fact that I've never seen the film, she will continue to ask "Why is he doing that?" and so forth throughout.

I may go in the other room and write some PHP...

[NickFitz]

Her technique for watching a film consists of reading a magazine.

She then looks up when the fancy takes her (which is apparently unrelated to anything that might be happening in the film or any sound that may be on the audio track) and immediately demands a full explanation of the behaviour and motivation of everybody who may be involved in whatever appears before her eyes that instant.

Then she returns to her magazine... but woe betide the person who attempts to change channels, or even turn the telly off

Her husband is used to all this by now, but is ill in bed.

I think I'll go and get some supper.

exlaim loudly: "my god that's better - merry christmas everyone"
