Instead of giving up the booze for the new year this time we are considering a TV free month. Now that Strictly and The Apprentice are over there’s nothing much exciting on anyway! Can’t get away with TV on iPhone or PC or laptop either… Probably find myself listening to…
Reclaim Channel 4!!!
At last, big brother is facing the axe. ’bout flipping time. Maybe we can get back to some decent TV like we used to have on Channel 4, like ummmm, I’ll come back to you on that one
Wow – its all gone quiet
Hey wow – since we’ve ended our self-imposed TV embargo I’ve not been posting so much – is it because we’re watching endless hours of TV – no – well mostly… As with our Heroes catch up the previous weekend we managed to get through 4 episodes of Lost and…
27->28 Tuesday and Wednesday
That’s it – the last two days are over and we’ve survived the No TV regime for the whole of February. There was no desire to stay up until midnight and watch stuff, or to get up and watch breakfast TV for the first time in a month which was…
22->26 – Thursday->Monday
Out on Thursday and Saturday evenings so no problems there 🙂 Lorraine was working on Saturday and it was a reasonable day so I went and got muddy on the bicycle. Heading out to Colinton Dell then up and over the bridge and back via Craiglockhart/Gorgie. Needed to give the…
Days 19->21 – Monday->Wednesday
Not entirely sure what I’ve done this week instead of watching TV. I did some bicycle maintenance on Wednesday. Consisting of changing brake blocks on the front and adjusting brakes front and rear. Also trued the wheels which is a zen like experience. Getting closer and closer to perfection with…
Wow – Watching TV can seriously damage your child's health!
Noticed this article on the Scotsman Website today. (you might have to register a free account to view the whole article) It tells of the perils of plonking junior down in front of the TV for hours on end. Serious health issues, not least the couch potato factor! blm
Days 14->18 – Wednesday -> Sunday
Over half way through our no TV month and still going strong. (Lorraine showing signs of weakness…) Our Amazon DVD “American Beauty” arrived so we were allowed to watch it. Can’t believe I had never seen it in all these years. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Valentines day was quiet with Lorraine…
Days 9->13, Friday ->Tuesday
Its amazing how often we have gone out this month – I’m sure it’s not more than normal but it’s much more noticable for some reason. Linda’s birthday on Friday straight after work (for me) meant an evening in Izzi (annoying website BTW) on Lothian Road followed by some beers…
Days 6/7/8 – Tues->Thurs
Been doing quite a bit of work on Lorraine’s website TherapiesUnited so that has filled the void that TV has left! For Perl gurus out there can you remember the syntax for sorting an array by two seperate elements – one text and one numeric. I’ll tell you if you…
