This is a Guilford Four level of injustice, I demand an independent inquiry and a tribunal!

Meh, I don't get the Marmite reaction to the Toy Show tbh. If you have kids of the appropriate age you're more likely to watch it, if not you probably won't. It's not aimed for us

As a result I thought in or around the 50% range was probably going to be correct.. I think I said to EN I might have been slightly overestimating too.

Now the Penney's PJ range on the other hand can get in the fookin bin. Not in my damn house!

Honestly, most childless people I know watch it for the nostalgia, that's why I went high. I obviously know the wrong childless people

[Wichita Lineman]

My kids are growed up and we still watch it together and we have a good laugh. Some people take it far tooooooo seriously though.

[Trigger]

Bring back Gaybo and Zig & Zag!

That being said, the children are the absolute stars of the show, it's a real feel good show that can be a real pick me up. In ours we use it as the beginning of the Christmas run in, the tree goes up a couple of days before so that it is up for it.

Even if you are not a fan of Christmas, the kids and their talents and hilarity makes great live TV.

[E.N.]

So, with news of more restrictions coming in, this is the last weekend to get that Christmas jumper on, do the 12 pubs and end up in Coppers



#Advent Question 4:
Do you own a Christmas jumper?
What percentage of players do you think will say yes?

PMs to me before this evening, reveal about 9

Ho ho ho

[Loughc]

Apologies for missing yesterday. My first baby decided to arrive 3 weeks early!

[Leg End Reject]

Apologies for missing yesterday. My first baby decided to arrive 3 weeks early!

Oh, congratulations! I hope mother and baby Lough are both doing well.

This will be an exciting Christmas for you all and we'll graciously forgive you missing yesterday's question!

[Necro]

Apologies for missing yesterday. My first baby decided to arrive 3 weeks early!

Nah nah can't let that slide, you should have PMed EN from the labour ward*


*May be kidding... Congrats dude hope mother and baby are doing well

[quickbeam]

Apologies for missing yesterday. My first baby decided to arrive 3 weeks early!

Excuses, excuses!!!!

Congrats though. Happy fatherhood.

[Mam of 4]

Aww , congratulations LoughC!

Hope mammy and baby are both doing ok , exciting times ahead ☺

[E.N.]

Apologies for missing yesterday. My first baby decided to arrive 3 weeks early!

Congrats Loughc! Lovely news.
I think we can let you off missing this

[Butty Brennan]

I didn't think this quiz would be running on the weekends for some reason. I don't know where I got the idea 

I think questions about owning Christmas jumpers and PJs and things like that likely would get different answers if the answers were kept anonymous

[Trigger]

Apologies for missing yesterday. My first baby decided to arrive 3 weeks early!

Congrats LC, a lovely surprise I'd say!

[Purple Mountain]

Apologies for missing yesterday. My first baby decided to arrive 3 weeks early!

Fabulous !! Big congratulations to you and mammy. First babies are so exciting. Early Christmas present xx

[jp liz v1]

Apologies for missing yesterday. My first baby decided to arrive 3 weeks early!

Congratulations

[Zaph]

Apologies for missing yesterday. My first baby decided to arrive 3 weeks early!

Congratulations Loughc, I think that's a pretty good excuse for missing yesterday. #

[cee_jay]

Congrats @Loughc hope you have a great time getting to know the little one and all are doing ok.

[Irish Aris]

Apologies for missing yesterday. My first baby decided to arrive 3 weeks early!

Congratulations Loughc!! I wish you all the best!!

[BuileBeag]

Congratulations @Loughc !!! A December baby, how appropriate for our very own father Christmas.

I haven't sent my answer in yet. I'm panicking!!!!!

[DejaBoo]

Joyful news! Congrats Mr and Mrs LoughC and your sweet little new elf!

Wasn't me this time   ...maybe LoughC is going for twins.

[Toto Wolfcastle]

Ah crap, I forgot. I'll send an answer now but no worries if it's too late.

Nope, tons of time

[ari101]

I was the other slow coach today, finally catching up

Congrats @Loughc 3 weeks early is usually the perfect amount of early - fully cooked and no more sitting around uncomfortably with the Melon getting bigger
My friend is over 39 weeks and would be only delighted if she'd gone by now.

Hope everyone is well and healthy and this means you don't need to worry about missing a nice xmas dinner if she went xmas week!

There are two other Foggy pink or blue surprises due soon aren't there?

From now on I'm gonna take my guess and just half it! I thought most people would have a jumper tucked away somewhere even if not taken out to wear. I *thought* it'd be 90% but learned from the Toy Show and went 66%. Really should have just halved my initial thought.

[nothing]

I don't really wear jumpers, I do have a doctor who themed Christmas t-shirt but it doesn't fit

[Trigger]

I was on that exact number and I moved it lower because the last few days of scroogeyness! Dammit!

Oh Hai @BuileBeag

[quickbeam]

Every job I've had I had to resist being peer pressured to wear a Christmas jumper in on the last day.
