Finally managed 20!

Friends – the entire cast and crew should have been consumed in the fiery pits of Hades, especially those behind the really crappy episode where Phoebe offloaded her sprogs.

Drilling through my wrists with grandad’s Black and Decker would have been more fun!

Careful Daz. You never know, a Programme Commissioning Editor might be reading this………..

Be an interesting BB challenge though.

Last of the Summer Wine isn’t that bad, really although it was funnier very early on.

One thing which can go in the bin is ‘make-over’ shows. Uuhhhggghhhh!!!!!!!! MAKEOVER? A nasty, horrible Americanism which apparently sounds good. No it doesn’t IMHO. Don’t we call it tarting up?

And what about ludicrous so-called ‘aspirational’ TV? You know the sort. Look how easy it is to add thoudands to the value of your house: Look how easy it is to buy a villa in the sun. Why are they nearly always on at the time of day when you’re likely to be:

a) unemployed (no money)
b) a housewife (good nag value)
c) ill

And as for ‘C**p in the Attic’. Nuff said.

I suppose Trisha wotserface has some value for keeping the chavs mollified.

And, bar a few choice examples, alledged American ‘comedy’. Why does it need two dozen writers to get the thing together? Because they have no individual imagination. Look at most of the best British comedy, usually written (with the exception of a few, Python included), by one, two or three people, not a hangar full!

Best comedy on at the moment has to be Top Gear. Priceless. The interior design and road test in the finshed job on the Merc last Sunday was a killer!

Pathfinder,

I have a copy of the following document:”Colours for Specific Purposes” and it’s the British Standar colour swatch for Military colours based on a standard laid down in 1930 and the purpose of the manual was to bring together the principal colours used in H.M Forces and simple a #British Standard’ manual. I think it was intended for commercial use but I can’t be too sure, as it goes into some detail regarding the BS colours. Please drop me a personal message if you want any further details.

Regards,

Chris

X-Factor? Should be EX-Factor more like.

More hopeless, brainless, lifeless wannabes. And I defy anyone to say that any of us on these forums DON’T have a life. We do. That’s why we discuss them.

TV off button? In the words of David Lee Roth – HIT IT!!!!!!!!!!

What can we mangle next? More reality (REALITY?? It was mentioned further up this thread – WHERE DID THAT PHRASE COME FROM??!!).

This thread should run and run……………….

What a relief this thread is, I was beginning to think I was the only person in the UK who doesn’t watch Big Brother 😉 (I’m pleased to say I have never intentionally seen a single second of any of the series 😀 ).

Rest assured Paul, you’re not. I’ve haven’t given over a single nano-second to the thing, apart from channel hopping (or should that be channel hoping?). Irksome, tiresome, irritating, mindless, pointless, I could go on. Worrying thing is , it gets x million viewers!! Who are they? I’ve never met one recently; well not one that I know of (apart from some sqeaking girls in the pub who have nothing else to talk about. As an aside don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with sqeaking girls, bu there’s a time and a place………….).

The other thing is, the so-called ‘extra’ shows,and that’s a subject in itself!! Anyone seen ‘Dead Ringers’ this series – absolutley hilarious – John Culshaw as Justin Lee Collins. There’s another one for the chop – ‘Extra’ shows. STOP IT!!!!!!!!!! We’ve been subjected to SH*TE (for which we’re paying) in the main programme – WHY ANALYSE THE :diablo: :diablo: :dev2: :dev2: :diablo: :diablo: :dev2: :diablo: STUFF!!!!!!!!!!

And before any namby-pamby do-gooding (usually self-opinated, self-ritous so-and-so) say “There’s always the ‘off’ button”. I know. I use it. Frequently.

That’s why God invented GOOD repeats (last nighte ‘Return of the Goodies was a classic example). That’s why God invented Video. That’s why God invented recordable DVDs. That’s why God invented life and things that fly.

Nearly on my soap box. Sorry. No I’m not. God also invented a small thing called, er, books.

ABSOLUTLEY!!!!!! What a waste of air. In fact, I’ll narrate what I’m doing now just so we feel at home: “15:48 – ********** is in his office typing”. Stunning! riveting! Bloody NOT!

Who employs these people! How much do they make for coming up with ludcrous, mind-numbingly BORING, nuurrrghhhh…. my heeeed!!!!!!!!! Why do girlies in our local pub have to start squeaking about this, STUFF. I’llbe on my soapbox in a minute and then I’l be sued (or at least moderated off, so I’ll say now, it was nice contributing to the forums. I feel I managed a small input, some of it inane and some actually useful).

Next up for the mincer – X-Factor.

Over to you guys!
