They're more energy efficient than the CRT ones, and were either bought at a shop and put money back into the economy or bought/given off somebody who didn't need it as they themselves had upgraded to a new set. Or were hire purchased for a bargain rate of £19.50 per week!!! Over 10 years. Terms and conditions apply.

Funny how the morally outraged people never loving do anything like charity work or stopping voting Tory though. God forbid they make an effort to change the world we live in. God when will this terrible telly drought end? when!?

Makes it all that much sweeter when you realize "turtle head" is a euphemism for needing a poo poo so badly it's almost out. A desperate poo poo through a glory hole. Channel 4, ladies and gentlemen.

FelixMeOneMoreTime posted:6music lacks Britain's flagship film show, so it's not nearly as good as 5 live. my current radio listening goes thusly: Radio 2 in the morning and in the car to and from work. Radio 1 from 6pm to 7pm because I quite enjoy Greg James, with longer listens after 7 on the weekends, and Five Live every evening and most weekends. I'm looking to finally get a TV and Virgin Media (probably) in the next month or so so I can dial back my radio listening and actually watch some TV!

I listen to Radio 4 till it annoys me then switch to Radio 3 till it annoys me when I switch back. Sometimes I switch it off and forget to turn it back on. Sometimes I turn on 3 podcasts at once and pretend I'm Superman.

Go on demand, find Radio 4 Extra on the iPlayer, listen to The Goon Show and ISIRTA on a constant loop. Proper job.

Radio 4 is all anyone needs. They are doing a really awesome season of programmes on the science of music at the moment. Its honestly one of the best things I've ever tuned into. God I love Radio 4.

Interesting for TV Nerds like myself: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/05/21/geeks_guide_bt_tower/ The amount of stuff going through BT Tower at any one time is properly mad. Also, if the broadcaster and BT don't change their clocks at the same time come summertime/BST, fun stuff like this happens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7xKZnkmTJk

"Dogger, Rockall, Malin, Irish Sea: Green, swift upsurges, North Atlantic flux" One of the worlds' purest and most perfect pleasures is to lie cosy in your bed at night and listen to the wind howling as the Radio 4 presenter reads the Shipping Forecast at 0048 hours.

I've been sticking with 10 O'clock Live because I felt that it at least had potential, and I have to say that it has definitely gotten better. The most recent episode got a lot of big laughs from me throughout instead of the uncomfortable pity-laughing I experienced with some previous episodes. The gay marriage debate portion was actually somewhat interesting in that it had the gimmick of only involving actual gays (one of which was a self-hating gay "UKIP-y" Tory), and they even squeezed in some coverage of the Xbox One (although not on the level of a Wipe show).

Junkenstein posted:Did they manage to get anything in about the awful news coverage of the Woolwich murder? No, they acknowledged the story at the beginning and said they wouldn't be talking about it yet (presumably since all the written parts were already written). Also a light exploded at some point during the show, so there's that.

I hope Charlie has something to say about the video the BBC showed of the murderer, bloody knives still in hand, ranting to a passer-by who filmed it on their phone then sold it to The Sun, who then gave (or sold) it to the BBC, who then broadcast it to the nation. Because that is hosed up.

Yeah, I can't help but feel that those murdering arseholes have rather been given what they wanted here. I would link that old Newswipe bit about now making this depressing, horrible poo poo the headline news story but... what'd be the point.

I had to run down to the living room to turn the TV the gently caress off because it was producing the sound of a woman howling at the top of her lungs non-stop for what seemed like an eternity. Childbirth scene on Hollyoaks. Great teatime telly.

The success of Chris Moyles was lost on me and the mere presence of Nick Grimshaw is just a mystery altogether. When I get a lift in the morning it's always on (Thankfully it's a scant 15 minutes). He sounds like the guy they bring in to replace the real host when they're off ill.

When I get disgustingly rich, I will hire someone to follow that man around everywhere he goes, and any time he tries to do anything, my employee will hold up a monitor that keeps replaying that moment on a loop, over and over.
