back to article Vulture falls asleep in front of Christmas TV

Well, that's your lot this side of Christmas. The Register is taking its festive break as of about now. We'll be back next week, with full service being restored sometime after Boxing Day. In the meantime, we wish you all the best and hope you enjoy the festive period to the full, however you're spending it.®

      Banner?

      Don't you know there's a downturn on? they probably fired their graphics artist to buy a couple of rounds of beers at the Christmas party.

      The coverage of the Test was fairly entertaining, mind. Strictly, broadcast early on Boxing Day, rather than Christmas Day, but eventful enough to keep one awake!

      Merry Christmas, and thanks for the entertainment through the year.

      xmas telly

      xmas telly has been crap since the rise of Sky TV and since films come to DVD 6 months after the cinima release...

      no more movie premiers that there is a good chance you havent seen... they make xmas specials of programs that they no longer make instead of the current programmes...

      But most of all, it went down the pan after Eric Morcombe switched over to the other side !!!

      Anyway,,,

      Happy humbug... !!

      (joke alert, coz cristmas tv is one)

    Welcome

    The wrong kind of snow?

    Is El Reg affiliated with BAA? What kind of service is this? The slightest excuse and service drops to zero! Admittedly, it rarely rises above that level even at the best of times! I bet Mr. Haines hasn't sacrificed his annual bonus and is at this moment quaffing booze down some disreputable foreign bar! Bah, humbug!

    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and more stuff and nonsense in 2011!

    The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.

    I've probably written more comments that are moaning about stuff than ones that aren't moans but thanks for another year of El Reg! One of the first websites I visit each day. For info, my football (soccer) team, news, then El Reg.

    Here's to another tech filled year in 2011, maybe this is the year that everyone else realises that us techies really actually do run the universe and should be recompensed accordingly.

    Failing that, a couple of thank-yous would be good.

    Enjoy your snowy holidays

    In this side of the world we have a sunny day and summer vacations coming up, so instead of falling sleep in front of the TV, we can fall sleep in a hammock.

    Anyway, a really big thanks for a year of great articles and inspiring events.

    Looking forward to a 2011 PARIS.

    Boxing Day?

    Sorry, I'm just an ignorant Yank.

    Is that a day that celebrates Tyson, Foreman, Ali and Fraiser?

    Is this a Brit made up holiday to compete with Festivus?
