… for the funky chicken, text Chicken to blah blah blah, for the crazy shaver noise, text Shaver to blah blah blah…
…to combat the seven signs of ageing…(memory loss, short-temperedness, talking to lampshades, incontinence, etc?)
…now with extra lashfinity…
…issue one out now, with collector’s box containing ‘authentic replica’ artifacts…
Is it just me, or does anyone else feel their will to live drain away every time they watch television these days?
Something terrrible happened to the world when I wasn’t watching…Rob.
I know where you’re coming from Rob!
i try to only watch tv when there’s a good film on but even then you still have to
sit through the crazy frog or gnome or whatever the newest fad is!
All the more reason not to be sat in front of the tv and get out there with the camera!Can’t even escape to the internet today, where email filtering seems to have been broken. This morning, I was delighted to have won the lottery in four different countries as well as being offered ?10.5M by a director of a bank in Burkino-Faso. Not to mention the free diplomas and cheap masculinity drugs.
If you’ve started watching daytime tv there Rob you are on the edge of a slippery slope and we all know where it leads.
Reminds me of an interview I once had. I was asked the question of what motivates me to get out of bed and come into work every morning. I answered daytime tv…. I didn’t get the job.
My current job is rather relient on broadcasters buying editing software so I shouldn’t be too harsh. However somebody (wiser and funnier than me) mentioned that tv is a medium.. It’s neither rare nor well done.
I have worked in television for 20 + years………………I hate it………………I watch it ………….but I would rather be out hanging out with the girls or working in the yard……………………or whatever as long as it is outside……….it has been tough this summer nearly 13 inches down on rain and over 20 days of 90 degree temps………….
I know what you mean Rob. Those ad’s for ringtones particularly get my goat, I blame the fricking frog though, since he made it big that company have been going crazy trying to find the next big ringtone in order to grab the last few euro’s off every sad kid in the country. Im not sure if the tv company realise the effect of really irritating advert’s, I switch when that ringtone ad comes on and sometimes forget to switch back.
ring ring ring ring ring banana phone
ring ring ring ring ring banana phone,
even typing it irritates me. most horrible noise in the world… apart from maybe the crazy frickin frog and that looper who does the ringtone advert..
Alan..I don’t have a TV and I don’t even miss it. If you want news, the internet giver a wider choice, if you want entertainment, PI is the best option. Why would you sit in front of a box for hours and watch the newer and brighter ideas of some advertising freaks?
Cancel your NTL and spend the money on petrol to see more from your neighbourhood or spend it on a larger memory card and make more photos… or just do something else that is in your mind and not in someone else’s. That is my opinion.
i agree, youre completely right, too many people spending too much time in front of the crappy tv.
i always have it on in the background while image processing, if music is on i get carried away, its hard to process images while playing air guitar or air drums so mindless tv works best..
national geo makes me realise how much of the world ive yet to see though..
my 2 cents..

Alan..aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
It used to be that you couldn’t sit down for your tea
without being treated to photomicrographs of coptic mange mites, and hoose-while being instantly comforted by the notion that something with a quare name was actually great stuff-
(DU dash TER) and might possibly wipe it out for you-Nowadays, its things with wings that’ll never fly,
improbably beautifully women keeping their beards at bay
using impossibly toxic bleaches-
and confounding time with hi-tec polyfilla-Haven’t we come on?

We are certainly moving along, in between all the adverts for the many ways I can jazz up my mobile phone so that it will embarass the crap outta me whenever I actually have enough meteor coverage to receive a call, there are wonderful adverts that intuitively tell the women in our lives of the next best things to keep them looking young. ‘The science bit’ is getting more common in lady products.
However did we manage before when our women looked as old we did.
Is it a side effect of our fast track society that our women wish to look younger and younger.
Its a wonder there isnt a hotline for them to text to get their youth back, in 5minutes of adverts, Ive learned how to jazz up my life and get everything i could want by text.
Text girl to this no. for the love of your life
text bananafone to this no. for irritating ringtone
text date of birth to other no. for my future as told by a psychic computer
and text my lucky no’s to another no. not affiliated with the lottery, that will allow me to win the lottery.Its amazing, a few Euro to Vodafone and I need never look back!
AlI remember sarcoptic mange mites with affection…
As for impossibly beautiful women? Isn’t it quite ludicrous to see one
of these, not a day over nineteen, extolling the virtues of the latest
anti-wrinkle potion…Rob.
