Bargain Hunt I quite like it, Though must be a cheap as chips show for the BBC to produce. I like the cheerful news,
Tipping point. awful, the machine bit is a novelty when you first see it, it's particually sad when they talk about it like it's actually something important 'oh no hope it doesn't ride on this one'
Come Dine with me. I only usually see this on if I am stuck in a hotel. Secretly I quite like this TAXI!
Other notes Columbo/Murder she wrote seem to be on tv 24 hours a day.
The Kyle was a morning staple!Quote:

My mum and sis tried to get me in to that over xmas. Well now. I don't know what to say, I think you've summed it up perfectly.Quote:

When I was staying with my sister in Australia, the afternoon schedule on ABC (I think) was Knight Rider, The A-Team and Magnum. Absolutely brilliantQuote:

The quiz is called Short Answers. Or it might be called Tenable :rubchin:Quote:

In short ;-) it is quite an interesting place if you like yer motors.
Tenable - that's the chap! Look at him! It's grotesque.Quote:

I can’t watch telly at the moment, daytime or evening. I fancy the idea of watching a nice film, but can’t concentrate on it. Perhaps my mental health is being affected by the Mao Tse Lung?Quote:

ah, ascii porn :cloud9:
We had a freelance designer in and he picked up a rewritable CD ROM - only to discover it was full of diminutive ladies getting rogered by normal-sized cocks. Once he'd watched every single clip he told me and after that I was never able to look at my colleagues the same way.Quote:

:hehe: Classy guy. I was in O'Neills years ago and there was a dwarf who'd been hired out by a group of lads. A kind of dwarfogram I suppose. I saw him in there the next weekend and said Alright mate, who's hired you out this time. He replied no one, I'm out with my friends. I sheepishly went back to my table, face warming up slightly :hehe:Quote:

Ha! No, they must be taught to walk nicely on a lead rein, to obey voice commands, that sort of thing. Also to trust us and not be scared of things - which involves doing things like waving a plastic bag in their faces to get them used to the idea that although it's scary, nothing bad will happen. It's all pretty dangerous stuff.
I'm just not feeling it, b.Quote:

I think it might depend on whether they are disproportionate or proportionate - I read that somewhere anywayQuote:
