When I had a tv license
the only things I watched were Top Gear, QI and Buzzcocks. Occasionally Scrapheap Challenge, University Challenge and Being Human - and that's it.
Now I don't have a tv license I watch the odd thing on iplayer and I have to say, I really don't miss it. My new place has a license included in the rent and I daresay I will yet again only watch the above shows and maybe the Great British Bakeoff, as I believe that's started again. I don't really see the point in most of the programmes as they are designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator, which sadly in this country is really fucking low and common.

You need to start watching Eggheads.
*WAVES!*

Life treating you well berk?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 30 Aug 2011, 22:35, Reply)

I'm moving in four days
I am not packed. I am not even remotely packed. I'm also coming down with some virus based plague thing. This is not good.

How're you?
(berk, Tue 30 Aug 2011, 22:39, Reply)

Not moving in under a week and with no need to pack.
I have - reluctantly - booked a day off work so I can go to Weston though.

That pained me no end.

Is TC going to give you a hand?

Do you not get paid leave on a contract job?
if so, man up. If not - well, it's only a day. TC remains reluctant to help because he says I have too much stuff. I imagine I'll rope him in to unpacking come the weekend, but he's busy on Saturday morning when I'll be moving, so...

How far are you on with the packing?

Hey, I bigged up both you and berk with the eggheads team.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 30 Aug 2011, 22:51, Reply)

Cheers Jeff, but I don't think I'm on the Eggheads team
I am rather worried that I've found a folksong I like though

I feel like Simon Cowell.
You're thought to the next round!

Errr
we'll gloss over that, shall we?

still haven't really started...

A man with a van might be your answer here berk.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 30 Aug 2011, 22:54, Reply)

Oh don't get me wrong
I've been through most of the stuff I own and got rid of a great deal of crap, clothes that don't fit, books I don't want etc...but I haven't got round to putting any of the stuff I *do* want to keep in to boxes. I've got a few days though, it'll be fine. (although I may have to pull a sickie on Friday)
(berk, Tue 30 Aug 2011, 22:56, Reply)

Do it.
What are work going to say? Nothing. Especially if you are getting a bit poorly anyway.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 30 Aug 2011, 22:57, Reply)

Yeah, with less than a month to go
it's becoming increasingly difficult to actually give a damn. It's not like they can do anything.

In fact, make it look more convincing by taking tomorrow off as well.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 30 Aug 2011, 23:02, Reply)

I'm off to Pulp in London on Thursday
I will convincingly go 'home' early, ie, bugger off to catch my train.
(berk, Tue 30 Aug 2011, 23:05, Reply)

You went not long ago to see Pulp....
Do you remember the first time? :)

Who are you going with this time?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 30 Aug 2011, 23:07, Reply)

You can do it :)
through the time-honoured method of tip everything onto the floor, then start sorting.

If I don't work, I don't get paid. Them's the rules.
Working from home was a lot easier, that was more output based, rather than being visable.

JEFF!
I've just watched Points West, and they didn't mention the pier. Why was the pier on earlier?
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Tue 30 Aug 2011, 22:34, Reply)

Because they were hosting the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS of table ice hockey.
It looks shit.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 30 Aug 2011, 22:36, Reply)

We'd better not go, then.

Alright Monty

It does though.
It's no prize bingo.
