Same here Bluedroog. I dont get how people can plonk themselves down, switch on the TV and start watching a movie 50% of the way through and the worst thing is, they're sat there, eyes wide open, like they're really into the plot. You're thinking WTF

I just can't 'afford' to have a TV, then again i have three laptops and a desk-top!

And i refuse to pay the licence fee on principle but that is another argument.

I watch stuff on the go via my phone or laptop. Also one of the reasons why i 'binge-watch' shows, i watch shows many years after they have started/ finished e.g the Wire, Sopranos, The West Wing and i am starting six feet Under this coming weekend.

Same TRC, i can either watch stuff on my laptop, or tablet. Not so much my pc anymore, but that is for another reason entirely!

So much easier to watch a series 6 months-a few years after release. All of the episodes are out and you're not sat waiting on cliffhangers.

All they ever seemed to do In Last of the summer wine is race bathtubs down hills. Sorry for the spoiler Mr Chelsea.

Sooooooo much better than 20 minutes of adverts in every hour. 24 should actually have been called 16!

Friends-deffo going to get criticised for this but i just never found Friends funny Joey and Chandler were the only consistently funny characters, rest started to get actively irritating very quickly. Phoebe Monica-double . add to that a mixture of pretty predictable jokes and some cringingly cheesy storylines
________

Well Ross is by far the funniest character so I am going to ignore your viewpoint and hope you die

Agreed! Never really got the anti-license fee argument.

The bathtub scene is probably the only memorable scene bluedroog.

Of course you could just not pay it, I tried this as a student. I remember in my student house watching something I didn’t want to miss when the doorbell rang, knowing the hot competition for channel choice in a student house and fearing it might be changed while I was distracted I answered the door with remote in my hand and it was the TV license people! They come round if you haven’t paid to find out if you’ve got a TV .

The Simpsons is the greatest tv show ever.

I went to the University of Life.

Actually that's not true, I went to Canterbury Christchurch University College, but the University of Life has more prestige on a CV.

Did you know that when you buy a tv from somewhere they notify the tv licensing people that you've bought one so they can check to see whether you have a license?

Not if you buy it from a bloke in a pub.

I work at a uni with a bad reputation, this made me laugh out loud in the office!

No it doesnt JJG. Anyone who had Spotify for a while knows that University of Life is actually Abertay Uni

Spotify? I still listen to my music on cassette.

posted on 25/6/13

JJG, best way around it.

posted on 25/6/13

Spotify, a music system ironically aimed at teenagers.

Although they were proactive in catching me and subsequently fining me £1k they gave me a date to turn up at a police station to pay, never went and never heard from them again.
