Nothing worth bothering about on tv
I just realised its been over a month since I even bothered to listen to tv,
despite reading the listings of the terrestrial channels, its all rubbish, well to me it is. Have I changed or is it that I'm getting a life?

Have I changed or is it that I'm getting a life? I think it's the usual mid-summer lull.

Without sight, listening to tv sound channels must be a last resort for most people. |

There is always the GP practice fly-on-the-wall on C5 where you could use your imagination to guess how bad (or trivial) the complaint is. |

Yes full of bits already seen on 2 most of the time.
Besides if its not got AD these days I don't really bother. Spoiled I suppose. Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...

P*ss-ups and Breweries come to mind! Jim |

I'm too much of a scrooge to subscribe for Telly stuff myself, If there was
a family with diverse interests, then fine but for me, nah.. I also feel that for us older folk who have enquiring minds there is a tendency for many programs to be simply retreads of better but older alternatives we have seen. I think there may well be a need for more technical programming. Maybe there is something like this on Youtube but sadly not much audio description on that. I'd like a very detailed look into semiconductor design and manufacture, or how polymer batteries are made, or perhaps more technical descriptions of the data collected in space missions.
