The Teaboy Dec 2012 8:41am, 20 Dec 2012 4,023 posts	0 The Teaboy Northern comedians who revel in the fact that they are Northern and therefore think this makes them salt-of-the-earth and extra funny. Last of the Summer Wine + Songs of Praise + Antiques Roadshow in a holy triumverate of tedious Sunday TV that is sapping your will in time for Monday morning.

The Teaboy Dec 2012 8:46am, 20 Dec 2012 4,025 posts	0 The Teaboy And of course Carla Lane's 'Bread'. Which wasn't a classic. It was just shite. In a collection of painful Scouse accents.
Raptors claws are coming to town Dec 2012 8:48am, 20 Dec 2012 22,938 posts	0 Raptors claws are coming to town Was "Bread" a sacred cow, though? Didn't everyone think it was just shite even at the time?
TRO Saracen Dec 2012 8:54am, 20 Dec 2012 7,078 posts	0 TRO Saracen Mince pies. Shite. If they were even halfway nice we'd eat them all year. Simply because it's Xmas every way I turn there seems to be a mince pie shoved in my face. And why is it called mince? It's not minced, at all, rather a selection of fruits in a sugary syrup. Burn them all. Especially the ones that claim to be 'deep filled' and get theit packaging tarted up with the odd holly leaf.

Regular listeners of FT will know about this one. What national 'treasure' do you feel would be better on a skip rather than on a pedestal?

Someone (an MK Dons supporter) proposed AFC Wimbledon, about whom everyone gets misty eyed but he hated.

Other nominations included Bruce Forsyth and Seb Coe.

We were discussing this on the Rugby Wire (whch unforgivably is *not* called "y wifren rygbi ") as Martin Johnson was nominated.

It was suggested that a wider audience might enjoy the challenge.
