Day 2 (door 2?) of the This Is Our Everest Advent calendar sees Edward and Ian watch the 1991 Des O'Connor Christmas Special and just like Des they're packing them in. Edward guarantees his bins will never be collected again, Ian summarily chalks off one of Mariah Carey's UK number 1 singles and Bernard Manning gets a well-deserved kicking.Meanwhile, Barry Manilow sends corset buttons popping in all directions, Edward gets a tattoo and there's an unseemly argument about chestnuts which suggests that the pressure of this stupid project is starting to get to our heroes already. If you want to watch some prime Des, you can do so here. Tomorrow morning, it's a He Man & She Ra Christmas Special.There’s a bunch of different ways in which you can subscribe to the 200% podcast.

Strictly Come Dancing is back...we had the launch last Saturday night which apparently blew The X Factor out of the water....now there's a surprise.....I must say I do enjoy the spectacle of wonderfully sculpted young ladies gliding around the dance floor and I don't care how sexist that sounds....and do not intend to apologise to the pathetic P.C.Brigade....talking of which there has been a suggestion regarding same sex dancing on the show......if that happens count me out....two blokes doing a slow fox is not for me.....and I think they could wave goodbye to 90% of their viewers. 2.And on the equality front.....there was a programme on the BBC discussing politics with a panel consisting of just women....with invited guests...also women....and there have naturally been complaints from those who obviously don't understand that sexism and equality only goes one way.....the complaints were read out on BBC Newswatch...and as usual on comes some big cheese...a bloke...and off he goes saying that they feel they have picked the best panel....and they are trying to attract younger viewers etc etc.....I must say he looked a bit nervous....probably because his wife was probably standing behind him with a rolling pin.......Newswatch is like a comedy show....and it would be funny if it wasn't so tragic. 3.Talking of comedy I have never been a fan of Josh Widdicombe...but I watched his stand up show on The Apollo and found him very funny....his observations were very good and I warmed to him....I was however watching it late at night and had the subtitles on...I thought I would watch it again on catch up which sadly let him down as he used the F word far too much (which wasn't on the subtitles) ....and definitely spoilt the act.....I'm no prude but if swear words are used it should be in a humorous way....not for the sake of using them.....otherwise he did well......and locally we have the latest comedy partnership appearing....Des O'Connor and Jimmy Tarbuck.....I'm assuming it will be an early finish so they can get back to the old folks home. 4.Katy Hopkins has been upsetting everyone with her outspoken opinions on immigrants and feminism etc....she appears on Facebook and really kicks off....and she upset everyone on "Loose Women"....I believe....not that I watch it....I try and avoid rubbish....but apparently she is a big hit in America with those who complain about illegal immigrants....which is a joke in itself....ask the original American Indians who are illegal immigrants.....the thing is with Katy she is trying to make a name for herself by being controversial which she will do if people get upset and rise to the bait....she should simply be ignored and she will eventually self destruct and give us all a rest. 5.The song this week is one from one of my Wirral DVDs and points out the changes which take place around us without us even noticing....but we have an island off the west coast of Wirral called Hilbre Island which is spectacular and the song says no matter what changes around us we will always have the seagulls over Hilbre....I think you will appreciate the lyrics as you are one of the lucky ones who come from here.
