    I'd get bored so just wander off, leaving you to die slowly, in total agony, all alone.

    You're not helping, just so you know |-)

    I love house programmes. Location Location Location, A Place in the Sun, Grand Designs in particular, but in terms of achieving a suitably vegetative state, home buying and renovation TV is perfect.

    When's the next My House, My Castle gonna be on?

    "right here, right now"

    Bleeding edge?

    Oh, Megan, that is exciting. And don't be afraid of dogs - there's some really good ones around, like your friend, Marbo. And my Cleo.

    But I wouldn't be outside if he was. Wimp.

    Yeah, easy. Apart form the 'twice bitten, three times as shy' rule.

    First was a doberman, that I woke up on the back stairs of a house in the rain. It launched and caught my leg. We both got a terrible fright, but after I ran and tripped, my fright was bigger when the dog ran out of chain 2 feet from my leg. Only small puncture wound, but it does tend to replay in vivid technicolour when I encounter a dog of a certain size.

    Then there was the Jack Russell that I was saving from an electric fence. Poor bugger. What else was he going to do except bite me?

  • Hard News: The Future of the Future,

    The purpose is to end the discussion with more knowledge than you started not to "win".

    Yes that. Arguing to win is more like dick-tation.

    Over time you realise that if you enter a discussion assuming others might know more than you, things tend to go much better than if you think everyone else is an idiot and needs a good mental spanking.

    Anyway, I think the future of TV is close to now. I almost never watch programmes live anymore, including the news, which we start at 7pm, as it suits our schedule. Everything else is started at least 15 minutes late to fast forward the ads using MySky.

    I'm also catching up on some series that have passed me by like *cough* The Wire, using streaming or torrents.

    User defined programming is not far off, and if you have the bandwidth and inclination, can be achieved now, in a round about way.

    As to content, it is hard not to get the judgy pants on though when the latest series being promoted here is Noise Control. Each to their own I guess, but really?

  • Hard News: The Future of the Future,

    Kind of like the best Faith-era Cure song the Faith-era Cure never wrote.

    I'm trying to see how many threads I can logically merge with the Cat thread in one day.

    while Bill squints to convey mild irritation.

    Or to attract cats?

    For anyone still looking for answers this forum post from a Bad Robot intern

    Found the time to read this. It was slightly ironic, IMO, that there was an advert for scientology.org at the bottom of the page when I finished. Or was it?

  • Hard News: Blog About Cat,

    For years I have been a victim of misguided fluffy affection, with subsequent nasal distress.

    The tables have now turned. Hmm, am I as sporting as Gio? 'Here kitty kitty' [Squints].
