    I thought my priorities were correct, I am more worried about the members that werent logged on...
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    Ah, that reminds me to make a big brother WW project - a plywood box to encase the tube in. Glue, screw, nail, rope...

    At least it will help to boost ABC's and SBS's rating at 7pm. No way in hell I'll be watching that tripe:mad:. I'm not huge on this kkind of reality TV. I didn't mind the biggest loser but more for the fact that I am currently trying to lose weight. Bigest loser had a reason and I think that it has made a difference to a lot of people but BB is just utter drivel.
    Have a nice day - Cheers

    I've a twinge of concern for those who say "won't be watching that crap" but know the time & channel(s)
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Fair go Skew!!
    I admit I read the TV guide each week especially paying attention to ABC and SBS lately. There are some fantastic programs on them and with little advertising you never hear about them.

    I also have a daughter that is at that age (8) where all this big hype tv is all the talk between her and her friends. Every night "Can we watch.........cause (insert friends name) watches it!!"
    Have a nice day - Cheers

    Reality TV?? I don't think so. Reality is sitting in front of a monitor for four or five hours a day typing messages to other forum members. Do you really want to watch a show about that?

    Ah, yes. The kidleys, TV Guides on legs, major factors in the ratings. Not a problem here, thankfully.

    Mind you, apart from the news, a few doco's & David Marks in the wee hours there's nothing I really want to watch. All these cable channels and I still prefer a book. Sad, isn't it?

    a nice stir - and in an hour got more replies that vast majority of woodwork related posts.

    For the record I find the thing repugant and an insult to my intelligence.
