O/T TV Thread Version II

[donsdaft]

It's the modern way.

Some sort of status symbol to have something wrong with your kids.

You know, going to see Fradi, there's a load of kids, none of which need headphones to cut out the nasty noises.

No doubt some kids have autism, but like everything else, it's downgraded by everyone having it.

Most are just kids without any form of discipline.

Bring back the belt, that’ll learn them! National Service too. There were never any highly strung kids at school in my day

[donsdaft]

ANY form of discipline I said

Namby pamby mollie coddled generation

[donsdaft]

…..that’s just the parents

[Mason89]

ANY form of discipline I said

Namby pamby mollie coddled generation

What sort of discipline did you have in mind?

[donsdaft]

Being told “no” would be a start.

[Mason89]

No to what?

[donsdaft]

No to helping themselves from the fridge would do.
Fat little b'astards.

[Mason89]

Im glad that I asked. I feel like I’ve learned a lot today

Some people jump over to pikey mad or follow follow. I guess it's a type of morbid fascination.

In the same vein, I sometimes flick over to Talk TV or GBNews.

Geezo, what a bunch of paranoid, angry specimens.

It's a conspiracy against Boris, biased BBC after a presenter had a giggle at BJ failing to get enough nominations and Sunak in now means 'they' are going after brexit.

F*ck Dan Wootton and his buzz words - It's all 'woke' this and 'globalists' that. Not heard 'wets' before but 'patriot' is the new one, straight out the Trump playbook.

And why do they seem to get into a jizzing frenzy whenever they roll out Neil Oliver?

What a bizarre network.

Dan Wooton is a total pwick

GB News A billionaires little toy ! These w@nkers have been using their dosh to manipulate British politics for years, Any TV channel who has the Uber pr1ck Eamonn Holmes as a presenter is a joke, Mind U compared to Oliver ( a slimy little bought and sold cvnt) Holmes is David Attenborough ,

I've never seen it when Holmes is presenting. Last night the gang was led by Wootton with some contributors on. It reminded me of recent American style politics at it's worst. It's all a conspiracy by 'them' if things don't go their way. Boris fans but only Boris, no one else. Although they do seem to rate the Govemeister for his staunch support of Brexit.

As far as I know their viewing figures are garbage which is a bit of a relief.

.... Of curse Ah'm jist haein a fun here ... cos in my experience ... in the era of 'the scud' ..... the guys fa got the scud maist were the kind o' guys fa could tak the scud ... and so it didna teach them anythin ither than "if yer gan tae gt the scud, best dae somethin worth gettin the scud for!" .... they continued tae be c*nts beyond their schooldays, some got the nick, got oot, back in again ... in my opinion? ... The scud made **** worse - nae better.

I don’t know if any of you have read any Kate Atkinson (she’s a fine writer IMHO), but her Life After Life is being televised as a four-parter on Beeb 2 from the morn (19 April). Incredible imagination, innovative structure, and beautifully-written*. It’ll be interesting to see how the structure is approached for visual consumption.

*I devoured it via audiobook which isn’t ideal given the to-ing and fro-ing time-shifts, and it was still very very tasty. I don’t have enough years left to read it, but I’d wager that it’s even better in print.

Finally watched the fourth episode of this after completely forgetting about it after the third episode.
I'd it a give a 7.5/10.

Has anyone watched the Extraordinary Attorney Woo, on Netflix?

Cheesy as feck but somehow quite watchable.

Very pleasing on the eye in a lot of instances.
