The Official Nonsense Thread

[Minty]

I have to admit that I can no longer be bothered with new TV shows too, & would rather blaze through a box set or go through the On Demand series selection to gorge myself on one over an evening to see if I'm going to like it or not.

I ended up liking the US version of The Office this way, after detesting with my whole heart & soul the UK original, which was as depressing as a Dilbert cartoon. You know a show truly sucks when the Americans remake it better than the Brits, although I think a lot of this was also to do with the way comedy changed in the UK at the time (for the worse).

Ollie, the TV Channel Dave used to be called UK Gold, before they wanted to make it "hip & trendy" for premium lager drinking lads, vodka mule drinking chicks, & all those other puddle-drinkers.

It's a pretty frightening situation to think that there's not a single person I can think of right now that I would want even as a cabinet minister, let alone prime minister. I'd sooner trust Bill & Ben the Flowerpot Men with Little Weed to take over than anyone from any party to take over. There's a by election in Wythenshawe next week & they reckon it will be a miracle if it gets a 35% turnout. They can blame people being apathetic all they like, but once politicians started ignoring what their constituents wanted in favour of lobbyists & "focus groups" (many of whom represent no-one but themselves) is it any wonder people started feeling it was all a waste of time?

On a happier note, my marianated apricot chicken was a triumph!
