Yeah - I don't usually pull people up on unfortunate auto-corrects, but that one was too good to pass up on.

It's all in the post mate.

I hope she comes in a jiffy bag.

Both senses of the word.

Your month starts at the time of dispatch. Hopefully everything is delivered and you get the pool assembled in time.

I'm finding three hard to pin down. I am slightly tempted by the thought of having everyone on the planet's IQ doubled.

Having intelligence raised to the point whereby reality TV loses its appeal would suffice.

And Take Me Out.

Is that a wish for a date or to be murdered?

If we move past how patronising/condescending this is, I'd be willing to bet that you'd struggle to find a point at which intelligence somehow overcomes intolerance of others tastes.

In the mean time, just don't watch it.

I'll admit intelligence measuring isn't an accurate way to determine whether one would enjoy it but it's a start. Myself? Found some of them interesting to begin with but repetition and an increasing propensity to deliberately choose a freak show means it has became a race to the bottom. I'm also tiring of millionaires being entertained by the deluded.

And if you don't watch it what does it leave? I find it hard to find anything remotely interesting or , excuse me, non patronising. What masquerades as documentaries now are on the whole incredibly condescending.

The first Big Brother was great as no one in the house knew how big it was on the outside.

I watched the first few episodes of the second one and it was very apparent they were there for the wrong reasons. It became a show for people who simply aspire for fame.

I did find a few celebrity ones and a couple of Celeb Get Me Out of Here's quite amusing, if only for Celebs breaking down at having to do menial daily tasks.

Now they all just feel like a fad that's lasted way too long along with super hero movies.

I don't think these reality shows will catch on...

I think you're looking in the wrong places, my friend.

I'll put it this way. I'd not be impressed as someone who can only afford Free to air. And there's more people like that than many care to admit. The internet is far from democratic wrt access.

And I'm neither patronising or condescending, my friend. The content is below people.

Kow

+1 on that.

davyK

My post turned a bit sour there against @Andy. Don't like that but I'll leave it there. Please don't take offence @Andy.

The way terrestrial TV has imploded in recent times is a bug bear of mine. As is the decline of public libraries.

retroking1981

I've had Sky since 1998, honestly can't imagine life without it, proper first world problems but there you go.

You thought about getting Kodi @davyK ?

I haven't used it but have heard good things. Amazon Fire Sticks or a Raspberry Pi would be the cheapest options to get it afaik.

Yossarian

I won't have Sky. Fuck giving Murdoch money.

retroking1981

No other options though, virtual monopoly unfortunately.

It's ethical to pirate anything that rupert murdoch owns.

I might wish to have complete control over the next Big Brother. Fame hungry twats will enter the house as usual, only this time it's not being shown on tv. I'm the only person watching, and I'm also the person setting tasks for my own amusement. Speakers outside the house will constantly play the sound of crowds cheering and chanting. Nobody gets evicted and the last person to leave 'wins'.

retroking1981

Sounds great, and a little bit like the Saw movies.

Yossarian

Freeview/Netflix/Prime provide far more TV than I could ever watch, pretty much the only thing that Sky offers that I miss is HBO stuff, but I'd rather pirate that than pay Murdoch (although I'd sign up for HBO Go in a flash given the chance).

I wasnt really in it for the suffering, but yes, it could go in that direction. It would certainly be interesting to stop feeding them and see how long they stick around.

Of course, the highlight is the look on their faces once they realise nobody has been watching

They should install a TV in the Big Brother House and have it tuned to Gogglebox upon which its "stars" are watching Big Brother. It will create a fissure in reality and the whole fucking mess will disappear up its own arse.

Howdy, Stranger!
