Spawn of the Devil.

Has come to my house, in the shape of a TV :mad:.
After 20+ years of listening to the radio, playing music, and holding the moral high ground when others say "Did you see last night's .............."? (complete effwitting garbage).

Today the Missus has bought the bloody thing and had it fitted - it's on now :thunbdown:.

Advice please, is my life ruined, should I move into the shed every night, or permanently, maybe move up the road into Twm Sion cati's cave and return for meals??

Suppose there is the TDF and Olympics, but what else has the telly ever done for us? To misquote the Pythons!

Get yourself an alcohol, opiate or benzodiazapine addiction. They're pretty good for blocking things out.

If you are lucky and t,missus has bought a smart tv you will be able enjoy the cut and thrust of the forum and other Internet delights in full HD and 50 inch glory!

Despite my piss taking Moley your post is a good reminder that there really is a world outside that is so much more entertaining and is just waiting to be explored mate

That's some good eyesight there. For double points, what's the make of the radiogram ont sideboard?

TV's OK for sport, news & the odd film/documentary

it's not compulsory to watch the "complete effwitting garbage" of which you speak (soaps, quizzes, magazine/reality/"talent" shows etc)

of course if the missus becomes a fan of Deal Or No Deal, and you want to watch ITU Triathlon, your gonna need to get TWO TELLIES! :w00t:

Move in with me? I still don't have a tellie :)

I wish we didn't.
I don't mind the odd documentary but we have hundreds of channels of mindless drivel to get through before the inevitable cries of "there's nothing on!"
Which makes me wonder why they bother with HD, 3D and all that guff.
So you can watch sh1te in glorious 3D I suppose, in an attempt to kid you that it isn't in fact the same sh1te that was on before...

But you have a bike - lot's of bikes and they're almost the Devils Spawn :rolleyes:.

Yes... lots of bikes and bike wheels and other assorted bike bits like tyres and stuff and mud all over the floor and I don't do the dishes more than maybe once or twice a week and I am always out riding or racing or getting wet and muddy in some other ways.... Maybe you better put up with the tellie :w00t:

I thought this thread was going to be about marmite .....

Over there's a wandering zombie with a wire to each ear and just here's that Internet thing. We've run off the route (again) into somebody's science fiction story.

Or you've got 6 days to watch it on iPlayer...

Ok moley. So, now you have fought the devil that has landed in your house, you will not be able to answer the following.
1. Who presents cash in the attic?
2. What colours are the teams in bargain hunt?
3. Who is the landlady in the queen Vic?

Hand on my heart, I haven't a clue.
Hardly watched a thing since TDF and Olympics, but discovered the benefits of extra digital music channels :thumbup:.

You've got the Vuelta and the Paralympics to watch now... When they finish, god only knows what's on!
