Do You Have a TV

[bluninja]

Had the tele in the UK for 1 month now since my return.....it's easy enough to live without. Problem was the licensing authorities (we need a license for TVs over here...they're that dangerous ) couldn't understand why someone wouldn't have a TV and kept sending me threateing letters.

I watch mostly films, motorsport, football, rugby, wildlife stuff, sci fi.......shoot how did I get on without the TV?

The internal combustion engine and the cathode ray tube, which could have been the most liberating, have turned out to be the two most pernicious and socially destructive inventions of modern times.

I might make an exception for the internal combustion engine. If it's in a motorbike.

Amen to that, Brother. TV is so crap I resent the time it robs from my day, yet I still find myself drawn to it in the miss-guided hope that there might actually be something worth the valueble investment of my time.

When we have kids, I am seriously thinking of getting rid of the box. I have a lot of respect for those among us who dare to bring up kids without a TV in the house (Shock! Horror!). What must their friends think!

Also, if you buy a new TV the shop will send your details to the licensing authority so they can make sure you have a license! Wankers!

TV has wrecked my life. First off it drove my cat insane, now my brother will sit there motionless for about... say, 4 hours a day? And it is cartoons at that. Caught him watching barbie the other day, he needs some learning, that boy. At least I am furthering my knowledge by going on the internet for unholy amounts of time each day! This forum has taught me more that school (no, I'm not a dropout, I am in the Samart Klass) not only about bikes, but about life, and how to love, and it also taught me how to make a mean stew. And it gave me free surgery. And it taught me to listen with my heart.

For years all we had was an old PAL computer monitor (from our BBC computer) hooked up to a video player only,no record,then the sound went through the stereo.So we could only watch videos that others recorded for us or that we rented or bought,that way we had control over what was watched.We still have the player - old technology,so we can keep repairing it.

I could do without TV channels, but I need the TV for the dvd's
Though I do like the history channel alot, but I could live with out it, learnt more from books then I have from TV.

I have noticed the tendency of people who say

"...I never watch TV..",

or

"...I could live without TV...",

are also the ones who say

"..you watching the MotoGP/S12/F1? I might pop around..."

I agree with you except for the motoGP.

*hugs those who provide links to the races*

Couldn't do without it during rugby and motorsport season.

Can do without it when it gets turned over to Shortland St

Don't forget that it is only a recent development in Western civilisation that women became subservient to men. Celtic society was largely Matriarchal until the church buggered it up.

----- true! and not many people know that

I have a tv and yes could absolutly live without one at home. But I love sport and like to watch a fair bit; so to say I could do without any tv at all would be a push. But because I dont have sky I either go to it live, go watch it at a pub or at a mates house - mine is hardly ever on.

TV?
Love it, but only used with a recorder. No ads and I watch what I want, when I want.

Amen to that. No TV at home, thank fark for National Radio. Wouldn't mind a box to plug into the powerbook to record the odd programme from time to time though...
