I agree - Sat night tele is rubbish.  I spent the night listening to the wind howling round the house whilst siting by a large fire, catching up on the newspapers and  writing Christmas cards after enjoying a lovely sirloin steak plus trimmings cooked by my husband.

Like Tom said on SC, it gets worse before Xmas.....  Lots of activity on the site though, isn't it nice to have something interesting to turn to.....

Watched a DVD last night that Dan's boss had loned him. "Prestige" is about rivalry between two magicians in late Victorian times. Good mystery with nice performances from Michael Caine and David Bowie in a cameo role as an inventor. Worth watching but don't miss the very end comments.
After that went to bed - we were all shattered.Nolic

We caught up with a few programs that we had recorded while I surfed looking for something suitable for the outlaws for Christmas.

I find it quite annoying  at this time of year, that most of the usual programmes are stopped and we are suddenly given new programmes 'to get into'.  I don't watch a great deal of evening TV, but I do like fluidity, and normality.    I think that here in the southern hemisphere because of  warmer nights and longer light hours that they expect us to be 'outside', and therefore not inside watching TV.  It doesn't  work that way for me .  I like to have at least one programme to look forward to at the end of each day.  Most of our usual programmes come back in mid February.  For you in the northern hemisphere, I would expect that because you are indoors in the evenings, they would broadcast much better programmes.  Show's that you can cosy up to, and relax. 


All thru the fields and meadows gay  ....  Enjoy

Peter Kay, Live at Bolton Albert Hall video, then a display of quite violent lightning out front. And you are right about the obvious downturn in quality TV on the lead in to Christmas, this is to make the crap that is to follow look good over the festive season. I suppose we will have another clutch of prats in the Oz jungle during all this!

I find T.V. boring and have done so since I was 11 years old, I've only ever liked going out walking and listening to the Hi-Fi, and in the past 3 years using the internet.

Where the internet is concerned, I think I'd be bored without it, Doreen said she finds more diversity on the computer, well so do I, though thankfully I am working abroad and go out on the 22nd, working seven days a week, and so I won't get bored as a result.

However saying that, I may use internet out there in the evening if time allows. TV is even worse out there(Sultanate of Oman) then it is here, and so the internet and work is a blessing really.

I watched Axe Men last night and was anything but bored.  Hard men doing an incredible job and before the tree-huggers go into overdrive, one of them described it as slow-motion agriculture.  They plant as soon as they fell and 60 tears later have another crop to harvest.  Trawlermen is another fine programme, nobody could be bored watching that.  How about the Panorama prog on the Kennel Club?  Anything but boring and then there are the black and white films.......  'One of our Bombers is missing' was the last good one.  No, some TV is fine. all you have to do is avoid the crap.  Everyone to his or her own, but don't ever be bored, there is so much interesting stuff to do.

Axe men, darn! I ment to watch it and forgot! I did watch Ice Truckers on Channel 5 (the same people that broadcasted Axemen, if I not mistaken)  I guess you've got a point about avoiding the crap but it gets hard with normal terrestial Television though.

Next Axe Men is Friday......  Don't miss it.  Get last night's on BBC I Player, that's how I watched Trawlermen today because it clashed with Axe Men last night.  So two there for you!

When I am not reading or listening to music or writing my book, I turn to my PC ...... there's ALWAYS diversity there and I can select what TV progs I watch via i player and the like if I want to. Otherwise we record really good stuff for when we have time to watch AND you can skip through the ADS ..........
