You saw an Elf what's next some fat bloke in a red suit

Sure you can see HWM every other week at Ravenhill!

(although why you would want to is another matter)

watched Lions Raw yesterday

The 3 people who came out of that documentary badly are as follows

Graham Rowntree - the sole man responsible for the Rory Best saga. Gatland actually asks him if he's sure he doesn't want Best.
Simon Zebo (watch his player cam on the second dvd, shocking from a human being, let alone a rugby player. None of the rest of the players wanted anything to do with the twit)
Mike Philips - was an arrogant Ashton who wanted nothing to do with anyone else on tour but himself

Funniest moment is at the first meet up

Hartley is in the front row, trying to act like a saint
He's booted out I think 4 days later

What did Zebo get up to?

He was a total Ashton

He got a hold of the player cam, and just kept telling everyone how amazing he was, and how much swag he had while adjusting his cap

Then he would walk up to tables of players and be like, here, I'm amazing, and then walk off.
Then he went and slagged off Dan Lydiate who was on the computer, and said he was brad pitt craic.

Then went and showed everyone his room, slagged off Brad Barritt, sniffed some of his clothes and then pretended he was on MTV Cribs for a while

Total Warren Gatland.

Even the Penney captaincy thing, which was funny, would have been much funnier if it wasn't Zebo, as he clearly has no class

Anchorman 2 was hilarious, not as good as the first but still brilliant.

Hobbit 2 was good if not half an hour too long, but still very good and set up well for the final one (or two depending if you believe rumours)

New sherlock starts New years day, top programme and looking forward to see what happens as it follows on from last season

Lenny Henry & John Shea in Coast To Coast.

One of the the finest comedy/dramas the Beeb ever produced. Could never be reshown, could never be released on home media, due to the enormous royalty budget attached to the soundtrack.

But blow me, it's a good show.

I'm fine with that

you're sisters...

Hang on. Kofi and Russ are sisters? I simply don't believe that.

Against is being a Warren Gatland and I'd happily smash that Gatland's face in

Just back from th'obbit.

Enjoyed the first one but this was a crock of shyte. Might as well have been a different book.

Pretty much agree with that Merv, makes you wonder how bad the next one will be

The last hour was more like an ad for a new theme park.

That's me decided then. I didn't even like the first one. Lord of the Rings Lite was how I saw it.

The problem is. It's 1 book and 3 films. When if you include every aspect of the book you can get 1 extended film out of it!

So there is lots of filler and the attempt to appeal to kids. Shame they've ruined a fantastic opportunity with greed

Correct it would have been one good 3 hour film.

They could have just about stretched it to 2 x 2 hrs but this trilogy is having a laff. Definitely won't be going next year.
