General Chat

I have never been addicted to anything enough to give up my plans to go anywhere.
Years ago a pub I worked in used to put on "prisoner cell block H" for the customers now considering we had "officially" closed this used to p me off.

Another time I tried to find a pub where 30+ canal boats could have a meal, I asked them to turn the TV down, so we could at least talk, as they had some soap on and got told Sorry no ...we went elsewhere. The pub company went ballistic when they found out.

My OH went so out of his way once to find somewhere to take me for my birthday that was NOT showing football. bless

Now I will be fair as a publican we used to show football. I refused to put soaps on.

Now I love Downton Abbey but I have missed episode because of things happening. I missed the xmas one because I had MIL here and she was more important than a TV programme

So are you addicted to anything or can you leave it :-0

Quite a few programmes I like. Absolutely nothing I'm addicted to.
I can't record, neither can I watch things when I want - you know, when you can go back on your TV.
I can't see the point - everything's repeated ad nauseam now we have so many channels.

Never miss our football team when they play. Other than that we use catch up

Game of Thrones for me...... :-)

Watching Liverpool get thrashed.

Mersey I read the books and have the films but never got around to watching it

Maggie like you I don´t record or have catch up either

LaGooner what can I say Football a necessary evil for pubs :-D When OH was looking he was trying to find a restaurant not a pub

Uzzi I have watched them all, looking forward to the new series due out soon :-D :-D

Mersey I had better tell the OH as he watched them all.

Uzzi have you got an Ipad??

Might I suggest programmes like the Teletubbies or perhaps Bill and Ben the Flower Pot Men for one particular member on here.

How very childish.

"Flobbalobbalob"

:-D :-D

Which member? Are they a fan?

Perhaps it's because I can record programmes that I don't think about any programmes I am addicted to.

Thinking back mind...........I would have pushed a granny off the bus to make sure I got home in time to watch episodes of "Roots" and "The Thorn Birds"

I have them both on dvd now.

:-D

I loved those two also Prickles. Also on Sunday afternoons, the Catherine Cookson stories of back in the day :-D

btw never watched Teletubbies :-0

I refer to Toots and The Thorn Birds

so right Prickles - childish in the extreme -never misses a chance to have a pop

Loved Roots and Thorn Birds.just wish they would repeat them instead of all these silly American programmes.

huh?

Get a grip ladies - a thread about TV and I hate watching any Liverpudlian football because I am not a fan of that side - I support the other side.

sheesh!

Aren't Roots and Thorn Birds American programmes??? :-|

Yes, both American programmes Shaun........but............

If you had seen the scene on The Thorn Birds where Ralph de Bricassart arrives unexpectedly on the beach to meet Meggie Cleary..............

Ooops...........orf to take a cold shower!

:-D :-D :-D

RockyMountainSky,,

Mybe they are but it's that long ago I have completely forgot also now older losing the old marbles LOL :-D :-D :-D :-D

I'm not addicted to TV but we do subscribe to Netflix and my kids are addicted...

My two younger daughters sat and watched every single episode of Pretty Little Liars until they caught up with current US TV showings.
There are roughly 25 x1hr episodes in every series

It took them less than 2 weeks to watch all the episodes up the middle of series 5, when they caught up with current TV schedules.

If I hear that intro music just one more time... ( Got A Secret, Can You Keep It.)..I'll scream!
