Default My New Year Resolution - Goodbye Television

Hi,

Just to let you all know that I have just given away my only remaining TV
and digibox. Tv is now such a waste of time, I have decided not to own one
anymore. I'm sure life will be much better without one in the house. I
feel better aleady! I suggest you all do the same, as Bristish TV is now an
insult to the Great British people. Its time to get your life back. Do it
today. Television in the UK has lost its way. All the broadcasters have no
idea what entertainment is anymore.....

Goodbye TV, I won't misss you, infact my life will be far better without the
constant irritation in the corner of the room.

Happy New Year to all....

Whilst there are a few programmes that are still "quality" I would love
to try this. Radio 2 and 4 on FM can be better than just "surfing" TV.

Don't think I would last though.

I see. Do please remind us all of the Golden Age, before TV lost its
way.

The rest of us would do well to remember the wise words of Homer
Simpson:

"Television! Teacher, mother, secret lover."

"When will I learn? The answer to life's problems aren't at the bottom
of a bottle, they're on TV!"

Do you have so little self-control that you are unable to stop yourself
watching crap? Perhaps you are like an alcoholic, and total abstinence
is the only answer. I pity you. Fortunately, I possess the ability to
select my viewing, as well as technology which ensures I can watch my
choices at a time convenient to me.

If it works for you, go for it. (Honest.)

Just don't get hooked on reading newsgroups -- these are *way* more
addictive than TV, and probably have a worse crap-to-good-stuff
ratio. ("No TV" might help one to get a life, but not if it means
"More Usenet". I.M.H.O., of course.)

If you listen to Radio 4 you will soon find that everything is repeated
many times each week and the day-time programs rival the worst that can
be found on terrestrial TV.

Really? Unless you are old, you will get hassled by TV Licensing.

I

"Its!" "Its?" Now this I find very, very insulting! It is time to get the
apostrophe back!

You can see most of it on FreeView - repeated endlessly. ;-)
