I’d be a bit suspicious of the builders around Emmerdale if I was the suspicious type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know Sir, the one where they charge a fortune for the privilege of owning a TV just so that they can support the merry go round of obscene salaries to third rate presenters to send around the country in endless circles? Mind numbing? The wildlife filming however seems superb but other stations are now catching up in quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted December 26, 2021 Report Share Posted December 26, 2021 I could really rant on about the BBC and it's wildlife presenters, and that obviously includes Countryfile, but so far this silly season I have been quite mellow and would simply say that I would never pay for a TV licence to watch the rubbish that is shown. My wife on the other hand insists on staying on the right side of the law and she religiously gets a licence. What is wrong with a good book in the evenings when not entertaining. I have been swapping between Samuel Pepys' Diary and Bird Life of the Borders by Abel Chapman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been swapping between Samuel Pepys' Diary and Bird Life of the Borders by Abel Chapman. Totally agree. I do love movies, but can get my fill of those by having a smart tv. I no longer have sky since the kids grew up and couldn’t bring myself to pay Disney or BT for anything ( apart from my super fast broadband, which is a must ) and indeed begrudge the BBC licence fee, but my OH is very much like yours, so we pay it. My daughter and son are big movie fans also, and stream theirs in, but watch little tv otherwise. I watch a lot of shooting related YouTube stuff, but I also read a lot, and currently have ‘Lucien Freud: The Early Years’ on the go, ( bit heavy going if I’m honest ) have just finished a Clarkson book, and hopefully will receive his latest ‘Diddly Squat Farm’ later today when my two beauties come round for another Christmas Day. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRINITY Posted December 26, 2021 Report Share Posted December 26, 2021 Agree with all of posts so far. What I can't understand is the reason we have to pay a licence fee to watch BBC copious amounts of rubbish and repeats. If Boris pulled the plug on the BBC it could be a positive move in restoring some of his lost credibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Neal Posted December 26, 2021 Report Share Posted December 26, 2021 The thing I've been mostly staring at the last two days is cats' eyes and white lines. The joys of travelling to see family 😦 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 Well we've watched a few older films with the kids over Xmas all curled on the sofa, last nights treat was Goonies 😅😅😅 how they got away with what they did back then I'll never know, the language used is nothing like kids films these days, oh how we laughed. Another great comparison is Home alone vs Home alone 3, 3 wasn't actually too bad, it just wasn't the same as 1 😅😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
