pavman Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Been off sick a few days with Flu and forced to watch daytime TV on the sat, what gems....Only in America would you keep a Python as pet and then express shock that in the time I took my bath it had eaten my dog, and I only left them alone for 20 mins! Another guy took his kid to hospital as he had let it play with his pet scorpion and got stung, the guy said he must have been a bit cranky normally he is very friendly, by the way the kid was just 5 years old. We also had a NASA scientist explain that during resent studies in seas under the polar ice cap progress was slow because......... As humans we need to breath air! Is it me or are our cousins over the pond a bit thick? pavman from the sick bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Take a look at some of the UK made stuff, like "Trisha Goddard", "Jeremy Kyle", "Fat Pets", "You are what you eat","Take my Mother in Law", "What not to wear" and all the other "lifestyle" programmes. All riveting, high brow television. I hope you get better soon. :o Turn off the TV and get a decent book from the library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenbears10 Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I'm with Cranfield turn that **** off and send the missus out to get the new shooting times. That'll keep you busy for the rest of the day. Hope you get well soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the lizard Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I hope you get better soon. Turn off the TV and get a decent book from the library. Well said Cranfield. PW Forums is nearly always more interesting than anything on the TV. :o the Lizard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Some of those programs are dire, but you cannot help but watch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Exactly, I hardly watch any telly these days, especially since we got broadband. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I agree with cranfield, get a book or magazine but... It is quite funny sometimes to watch them though. Has anyone ever watched its me or the dog. Some of the people on there are so funny. If you ever feel that your dog is terrible, watch that ! Get well soon Hi, Yes I have, :o and quite frankly if you think getting a terrier as a substitute for a human child and dressing it up in baby clothes you have a mental problem and need your head examining. :< FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the pelt man Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 (edited) Who was the guy who had the black face mask that used to fight Mick Mc. I watched those guys every Saturday while me Mum done the Ironing, was alowed to watch Tarzan but i think my Mum had a bit of a thing for him. Got our first colour TV for the 1976 summer O-pics. Made Mick-Mc much more fun. :o Whats wrong with ya Pavman? to much ale ? The Pelt Man Edited March 30, 2006 by the pelt man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 There were a few masked ones, I think Kendo Nagasaki (sp?) was one of those that was supposed to remove his mask if he lost, but they use to cry "foul" and run out of the ring, with their mask intact. :o When you look back on those bouts, its almost embarrassing to admit you thought they were really fighting.

the lizard Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 (edited) Kent Walton and Professional Wrestling eh .......... Well, Cranfield, Pavman, Pelt Man, this is for you guys. Enjoy - (from a Lizard who's not as young as he used to be). =================================== This will take you back........ According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 60's, 70's and early 80's probably shouldn't have survived, because our baby cots were covered with brightly coloured lead-based paint which was promptly chewed and licked. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, or latches on doors or cabinets and it was fine to play with pans. When we rode our bikes, we wore no helmets, just flip flops and fluorescent 'spokey dokey's' on our wheels. As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or airbags - riding in the passenger seat was a treat. We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle and it tasted the same. We ate chips, bread and butter pudding and drank fizzy pop with sugar in it, but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing. We shared one drink with four friends, from one bottle or can and no-one actually died from this. We would spend hours building go-carts out of scraps and then went top speed down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into stinging nettles a few times, we learned to solve the problem. We would leave home in the morning and could play all day, as long as we were back before it got dark. No one was able to reach us and no one minded. We did not have Play stations or X-Boxes, no video games at all. No 99 channels on TV, no videotape movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no personal computers, and no Internet chat rooms. We had friends we went outside and found them. We played elastics and street rounders, and sometimes that ball really hurt. We fell out of trees, got cut and broke bones but there were no law suits. We had full on fist fights but no prosecution followed from other parents. We played knock-and-run and were actually afraid of the owners catching us. We walked to friend's homes. We also, believe it or not, WALKED to school; we didn't rely on mummy or daddy to drive us to school, which was just round the corner. We made up games with sticks and tennis balls. We rode bikes in packs of 7 and wore our coats by only the hood. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law unheard of. They actually sided with the law. This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all. And you're one of them. Congratulations! Pass this on to others who have had the luck to grow as real kids, before lawyers and government regulated our lives, for our own good. For those of you who aren't old enough thought you might like to read about us. This my friends, is surprisingly frightening......and it might put a smile on your face: The majority of students in universities today were born in 1983........They are called youth. They have never heard of We are the World, We are the children, and the Uptown Girl they know is by Westlife not Billy Joel. They have never heard of Rick Astley, Bananarama, Nena or Belinda Carlisle. [Lucky them - Lizard.] For them, here has always been only one Germany and one Vietnam. AIDS has existed since they were born. CD's have existed since they were born. Michael Jackson has always been white. To them John Travolta has always been round in shape and they can't imagine how this fat guy could be a god of dance. They believe that Charlie's Angels and Mission Impossible are Films from last year. They can never imagine life before computers. They'll never have pretended to be the A Team, RedHand Gang or the Famous Five. They can't believe a black and white television ever existed and don't even know how to switch on a TV without a remote control. And they will never understand how we could leave the house without a mobile phone. Now let's check if we're getting old... 1. You understand what was written above and you smile. 2. You need to sleep more, usually until the afternoon, after a night out. 3. Your friends are getting married/already married. 4. You are always surprised to see small children playing comfortably with computers. 5. When you see teenagers with mobile phones, you shake your head. 6. You meet your friends from time to time, talking about the good old days, repeating again all the fun you have experienced together. 7. Having read this mail, you are thinking of forwarding it to some other friends because you think they will like it too... Yes, you're getting older!!!! ============================== the Lizard Edited March 30, 2006 by the lizard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the pelt man Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 LIZARD So So true. I was born & brought up in a Caravan Site in Abbots Langley. Woke up to a frozen "hot water bottle" in the winter. And had to sit in the side car of my Dads old BSA with my two older sisters while my mum sat behind my Dad. Those were the days.
