Non-Digital TV is bloody appaling.
Discussion
I thought I would have a rant since there is nothing else to do.
I can't believe that we legally have to pay a television licence. The amount of shit on the rotbox is appaling. Everyone is busy with their obligations and being obligation free, I'm bored. I'm so bored, I have decided to succumb to the telly. Apart from there is nothing on. I want to see some news, what do I get?
ing soap operas and celebrity wanking. I've just about had enough.
Yesterday, I got so bored, I rebuilt a gearbox in my shed. Today, I'm thinking about taking it to bits and polishing it.
BBC this is not good enough.

the problem with TV is it can't appeal to everyone all the time, I rarely watch TV during the day/evening as it's all there for the "masses" which want the celebrity this, and decorate that type shows - late evenings tend to see (mostly poor) films, Jools Holland at the moment...
Still, TG is on in 20mins

tv has been shocking this year
it always is, it's been dire on Christmas day with Soaps and the like for years now!It's not just non-digital TV, SKY is absolutely appalling! For the past few days, I have flicked through every channel, and there has been NOT ONE PROGRAMME I haven't seen countless times before,, I don't call it choice for my £45 per month subscrition, I call that regurgitation,, and if I have to see yet another; 'the Top 100 best of,,,,,,,celebrity burps' or whatever, I'll go insane!!!!
Oh yes, the Sky Movies Top Film tonight, Chalies Angels 2, which we can pick up TO BUY at our local vid shop for £2.99!!! Great!!!

Hold up a second, you CHOOSE to subscribe to Sky, you MUST pay the BBC to watch ANYTHING on ANY channel.
I don't watch the BBC apart from TG- so that is £3 per show. I don't have digi-tv, so I have 5 channels, there's nothing I watch on BBC-1, TG on BBC-2, other than that, rarely anything on that one, ITV- the (very) rare movie, but I don't pay ITV so couldn't care less. Channel 4 = News, features, docs, films, and Channel 5= CSI Vegas & Miami, Boomtown, same as C4. Again, I don't pay for those two, yet they are really the only two channels I watch.
If tuning out the BBC on your TV was a way to get out of the licence fee, I'd do it in a heartbeat- TG isn't that good.
I agree 100%, we're shafted no matter what!

Yeah - but you're also paying for BBC Radio 4 which is bloody brilliant. I'm off now to listen to a documentary about the great R-38 Airship Disaster of 1921.
I'M SORRY I HAVEN'T A CLUE is worth the licence fee alone. www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/comedy/clue.shtml
Sadly, I have been thrust back into the lap of my parents (refuse to rent on principle). I don't really have a choice what happens. But, when I get my first pad, I shall have no TV, spend my time reading or playing the piano, either that, or conversation.
At the moment, the only TV I watch is Top Gear, the BBC/New Labour combo haveed the news beyond recognition. It isn't really necessary.
Roll on that day.
