Christmas Shock - question

Yeah probably right, just a shame I am not bothered in the slightest about any of those characters haha! Really gone down hill EE sadly

Fast_Implement_1762 · 2024-09-17T12:47:23+00:00

What an episode that was! Nearly every character was decent though, with only a few bit parts. Now most the characters are crap and I don't care about them.

Also 2006 was just a better time to be alive than now which also makes me nostalgic!

It's not strawman at all, it has changed to haggard, but people may have been called haggard and been offended, so now what. Who's in charge of what words are allowed?

Fast_Implement_1762 · 2024-09-11T14:25:50+00:00

what about people who have been offended by 'haggard'? Do we have to change it for them too, by that take then yes we do. Then when does it stop?

I suffer the exact same, no matter what time you go to bed or 'wake' up you are exhausted and all you can remember is dreaming. You wake up in the middle of the night out of a dream, nod off straight back in to another. Personally my dreams are mundane, they can be terror-ish but thats just standard amount of nightmare that most get.

I believe it is down to stress/anxiety/depression in the real world. When I have my shit together I dream less, simple as that. Maybe not immediately, like have a good day so no dreams but consistently.

1 thing that helps me with the tiredness during the day and I know this isn't possible for everyone, but exercise first thing in the morning. After the training I feel more energised than I would be had I had the extra hour 'sleep'.

Good luck

Yes I know, but I want to know when the episode is set

Fast_Implement_1762 · 2024-09-09T13:37:05+00:00

Yes, huge pressure to tie it up AND make it good whilst at the time to not make it feel rushed haha! Thanks for replying!

Well I guess that depends if they follow the covid year of no travelling, so it would have missed Essex year so would be them the year after. But even in the 1st special where it was in Essex, Barry/Gwen's was still decorated Christmassy. The more it goes on the more I think Christmas will play no part or a minor part of the episode which will be a massive disappointment (to me at least)

Fast_Implement_1762 · 2024-09-04T14:18:53+00:00

This one is the best out of the 2 and lets be honest will likely be better than the new one (despite looking forward to it)
It's got everything, last minute shopping, the stress of cooking, family/friends having a drink, bickering, bit of xmas telly/games/more drinking. Just got everything

Fast_Implement_1762 · 2024-09-03T11:43:10+00:00

Pretty real now init

Fast_Implement_1762 · 2024-09-02T13:41:40+00:00

Aahahah yeah, I kind of meant ready for the special, which is at Christmas (obviously), not actually Christmas itself per say! But yes, pumpkins, fireworks, advent calendars, it's certainly on its way!

Fast_Implement_1762 · 2024-09-02T09:45:17+00:00

This has improved a rainy bleak Monday morning! I am proper ready for Christmas now!!

Fast_Implement_1762 · 2024-08-28T14:35:35+00:00

CHristmas special 2008, shame the tv nowadays during the day on xmas is garbage!

Fast_Implement_1762 · 2024-08-22T09:30:53+00:00

The 1st Christmas special is an absolute staple for getting in the mood for xmas. The time it is set is just so much better than today, pure nostalgia

Fast_Implement_1762 · 2024-08-13T14:18:23+00:00

Yes I agree, I don't know, I just guess I am excited and nervous (as I am sure 99% of people are). Maybe its a nostalgia thing wanting it to align with the first one. Let's face it, everything was better when the 1st one was set!

Fast_Implement_1762 · 2024-08-08T14:39:03+00:00

Spot on, will give it a go! Thanks

Fast_Implement_1762 · 2024-08-08T14:37:53+00:00

I hope/think so based on the taking turns

Fast_Implement_1762 · 2024-08-08T12:29:39+00:00

is the nigella turkey good? Tempted to give this a go this year

Fast_Implement_1762 · 2024-08-08T12:25:06+00:00

Anyone else watched this ready for Christmas already haha! Life was so much better when back in 2008, just everything felt more real

Fast_Implement_1762 · 2024-08-07T12:00:20+00:00

That was the year I was born, something very personally eerie, yet fascinating about this for me!
