If it's not in her contract, then it's a gift, these people are lawyers, and it is the season of giving.

Too high value really, would incur lots of tax!

I know it’s pathetic but this is my favourite film, I must have seen it 50-60 times. Every time it comes on the box I watch it, like a moth to a flame, on top of that I have worn out 3 DVDs of the film. I should grow up really!

Generally speaking, lawyers give nothing to anyone, make Scrooge look generous, pre-Marley etc. Also Nakatomi are not lawyers, they do infrastructure projects, see scenes where Joseph Nakatomi wonders if Herr Gruber is mad about some of the projects they have delivered. Just before being shot. Bloody nerd.

It`s okay mate, when my eldest lad was about the same age and I let him watch Sinister. ( one of his mates had watched it and it was like a badge of honour amongst him and his mates to watch it ).

He slept with the light on for about 2/3 weeks afterwards :lol:

Not sure you should be allowed to be in charge of kids tbh!

They're sat on a huge vault, I bet you Al's wifes twinkies (I beg your pardon!) there's lawyers and bankers in that bunch. Now that's settled, how do you wear out a dvd? let alone 3 of...

I have a similar tale of over indulgence, Jaws, Alien, Shawshank. What is it about Die Hard that draws you back so?

More broken by fat fingers and treading on them!

I really can’t explain my over indulgence, it is so ridiculous, so far fetched and played wonderfully by all, Willis and Rickman are outstanding, but the laughs are great, Agent Johnson - no relation etc. The SWAT team being prickled by roses, the stale Twinkie, the monologue in the air ducting, they’re gonna need a shitload of screen doors - I could and probably would go on for hours.

Are you in the uk? freeview channel 52 'Great! Christmas' - it's a joyless hell of made for tv Christmas films.
Todays run list... 'A Christmas to cherish' 2019, 'The Christmas swap' 2016, 'Christmas under the stars' 2019, 'A Christmas coincidence' 2018, 'A Christmas love story' 2019, 'Christmas joy' 2018, 'Christmas around the corner' 2018, 'Mingle all the way' 2019.

This channel runs Christmas crud from 8am to 3am every day. There is that much rubbish out there they can screen 19 hours a day of hogwash.

I'd grant them more credit if they started with 'A Christmas aardvark' and just worked the dictionary up to 'a Christmas zebra'. Painful, joyless, diseased. These people should get real jobs and do something for society instead of inflicting such harm.

I'm hoping for some Christmas Beaver yesterday for the 2nd Day of the year. Disappointingly it was Christmas Buffalo, but hopefully Christmas Cock is on tonight and how he saves Christmas by waking up Santa early.
