Why, oh why
is telly so crap?

It's turning me into a proper geek. I can't stop reading about electronics and other geeky stuff on the old interweb.

If only there was something on TV to numb my brain instead of doing interesting stuff instead.

Telly rocks
How many channels do you have?

Don't you like movies, sports, comedy, documentaries, news?

Not keen on
sports.

But films, by the time they come on the telly (like 15 years later) I've already seen them.

Comedies? Yes, love 'em. Just haven't seen one that's funny in a very long time - and those are usually re-runs of Only Fools etc...

News, nah! Gave up that propaganda a long time ago. Very depressing.

Documentaries. Yep, love them too, but they repeat the same ones every three days. There's only so much you can learn about keeping yourself alive in a forest from watching the same 30 minute show over and over.

ah, everybody likes some sport
You cant possibly have seen every film ever. I sometimes feel that way but then we have a 'Best Films Ever' QOTW and my DL list is massive again.

To be fair to you, News channels are shit.

Docs - you know what I cant stop watching? 'Litte People, Big World' - That dude is a legend.

I don't know
that one. Sounds interesting though.

True about the films, I haven't watched ALL the films in the world, but I usually download the films I like (no adverts).

Mind you, I watched bloody Braveheart AGAIN the other week when it was on the BBC, stayed up until if bloody finished at 1am (I had to be up at 5am). I was knackered in the morning.

...and I have the bloody thing on DVD in the cupboard above the TV for Christ's sake. I could have watched it again any bloody time, but oh no, I stayed up and made myself feel like shite the next day...
