Renton 21231 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Is there really anything on telly that's essential viewing these days though? I tend to watch stuff I've downloaded, DVDs, or poker stuff. There are no series on telly that I'm desperate to see that I can think of. Apart from X Factor. Corrie's good like.

Happy Face 29 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I get the Times deliverd on a saturday. Mainly so as not to miss any of their free DVDs, they always have the good ones. Metropolis, Belleville Rendezvous, Donnie Darko, In The Mood For Love, Don't Look Now etc. The other papers have shite like Carry on Abroad or Inspector Morse. If I had time I'd get it every day, nowt better than lying in bed for an hour or so going through the sections. I also read The Metro on the metro to work, but it only lasts 7 or 8 stops. Not exactly bursting with quality opinion pieces. It is good for the local what's on guide though, infinitely so when compared to the other local rags. I get the Saturday Times too mainly for the TV guide, which is excellent. The "free" DVD really pisses me off though and invariably get's thrown out with the rubbish where it belongs. HF, how do you get the time to watch so much TV in general and films in particular? I hardly watch any tv 2 or 3 hours a week max, and about 2 or 3 films a week. Is that excessive? I thought you had on opinion on quite a few things like Lost etc. Apologies if I'm wrong like. As for what you describe, no, that's not excessive at all. But the hardest part of dealing with a problem is honestly admitting you have one. My opinion was it's shit and that's why I don't watch it though. Only essential viewing is 24, Sopranos, Extras, Planet Earth, Curb Your Enthusiasm and I'm probably forgetting a couple. But there's rarely new episodes of all of those on at the same time.

I can't imagine you watching Corrie! I love it actually. It's a cross between a soap and a sitcom, some brilliant characters in it. I've even started videoing it.

Guest alex Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Manc-mag's always taking the piss out of me for liking Corrie. He reckons it's very 'lavender'; which it is. Part of its charm tbh. I don't go out of my way to watch it like but if it's on I will. Best soap by a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10685 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 can't bring myself to watch any soap these days.. Enders is just depressed cockneys being cockney and depressed, corrie is bland and has too many ugly people in it and emmerdale is frankly rediculous. at least Hollyoaks has the occassional fitty, ut I'm less and less arsed about sitting through 25 minutes of charva whining to get a glimpse of a girl is a slightly revealing blouse...

Gemmill 44265 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 All soaps are crap man. My dopey stepmother tapes them ALL. I don't know how she has time to do anything else cos if she's not watching them she's reading stupid magazines telling her what's gonna happen next. I don't know what my dad is doing with her, cos he has the same tolerance levels for stupid people as I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lasses in the hair salon (not Audrey though) and Debra Stephenson are fit like. And then there's Fizz and Janice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably always do it, I'm just not sure it's socially acceptable all the time. I've just been genetically programmed that way tbh.

The Fish 10685 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 surely if a girl is wearing a top that ... accentuates her figure.. it's ok to admire them, comment to your mate about them and generally drool, gawp and wonder... If however you lean over the back of seat on the bus, pull her sweater forward and have a good spoach... in that instance I think you're invading her personal space...
