There's nothing new about Christmas. No new songs, no new tv shows.  Just repeats ad nauseum.




No you're right Trap, especially this year and last year the buzz about it isn't the same. Best craic was always few pints with the lads down the local Christmas Eve.

Christmas TV has been ran into the ground in recent years too, we used to have the likes of Father Ted, Only Fools, The Royle Family specials. Now we've been reduced to Mrs Brownes Boys chruning out the same unfunny gags for last decade or more.

The films on TV are forever predictable too.

Songs? Hasnt been a decent Christmas song since the 80s has there? The one that grinds my gears the most is that poxy East 17 one that isn't even a Christmas song! Just because it has church bells in it.

Great tune Clap

Yer man from East 17 wrote that song about his dead brother.

People on tv continually saying ''omnicron''.  Its Omicron.

No idea but I doubt it I will have to check in at airport despite jumping through the hoops getting the documentation needed and approved by the VeriFLY bollocks it still won’t let me check in 
 
Seemingly plenty of others in the same situation

"The Ukraine"

i read it a number of times on the site today and heard a news broadcaster say it on newstalk earlier. every time i hear it is like somebody scrawled their nails down a blackboard Pinch

how hard can it be for people to say "Ukraine".

You are correct that there should be no "The" in the name.

Background is, the word Ukraine means "Borderland", so it was essentially "The Borderland state". or "The Borderland". For Russians, and those that like to think of Ukraine as still part of Russia, they call it "The Borderland" (ir=e The border of Russia), For 90% of Ukraine population, dropping the "The" is symbolic of their independence and they hate the use of "The"

Fair shout, I will adjust my vocabulary accordingly, although I've never said the Ukraine but probably would have if I needed to say the country's name
