Cliff Rogers 22nd March 2011, 08:58 PM I am worried that I might be turning into my Grand dad. :-
watson 22nd March 2011, 10:42 PM Me three..........Do it all the time.
Love it.
I wonder if they also used to do it at Old Astor Radios as well.
seriola 22nd March 2011, 11:12 PM I almost ran into my Grand Dad the other night, scared hellouta me 'til I realised it was the hallway mirror!!! :oo:
Waldo 22nd March 2011, 11:26 PM I have an easier approach - I lie on the lounge and shout and the TV, that way I know I won't have a fall. :U
The Bleeder 23rd March 2011, 08:43 AM As long as it's sport on the TV and you are directing your vocal disapproval at an incompetent referee or umpire. Then it's OK. That's the Aussie way.
Cliff Rogers 23rd March 2011, 09:51 AM What if you shout at politicians?
Greg Ward 23rd March 2011, 11:52 AM I just turn her off.

specialist 23rd March 2011, 06:39 PM My mother in war does it all the time, your flat out hearing the tv at all.

Cliff Rogers 23rd March 2011, 07:55 PM Does that mean I am turning into your mother inlaw... I thought I was turning into my Grand Dad. :?
specialist 23rd March 2011, 08:03 PM I'm sure that you are better looking than my monster in war:q:doh:
Avery 23rd March 2011, 08:34 PM Cliff,
you are so lucky that you are in wonderful FNQ. If you were in NSW at the moment you would be doing more that shouting at your TV.
I reckon this election campaign has destroyed more TVs in the past week than all of the natural disasters of the past couple of months.
Cliff Rogers 23rd March 2011, 10:00 PM You haven't been following Qld politics have you? :D
mic-d 23rd March 2011, 10:14 PM ] If you were in NSW at the moment you would be doing more that shouting at your TV.
At least your premier is a good sort. Cliff it's simple, shout from another room... :)
Cheers
Michael
Avery 23rd March 2011, 10:26 PM You haven't been following Qld politics have you? :D
Yeah, I have
That doesn't make things better.

Cliff Rogers 23rd March 2011, 11:01 PM At least I still realise I am doing it.... it only becomes a problem if you can't laugh at yourself for it. :p
Waldo 23rd March 2011, 11:06 PM I've always liked the idea of a toy gun with those suction cup arrows, trouble is my SWMBO wouldn't see the funny side to having the arrows stuck all over the TV. :doh2:
My little bloke and girl would love it though. :2tsup: :think: Maybe I should go down to the toy shop. :D

Knowing I would have difficulty coming to terms with regressing into my ancestors' personnas, they deliberately entered into a conspiracy that kept me from knowing them. They even went to the ultimate length of dying before I was of a conscious age.
These acts lead me to believe that it was a real conspiracy. Consequently I am unable to offer advice on grandfathers.
However, I do know that you have become like your father when you tell your son to keep that flat stick because we can use it as a paint stirrer.:D
Regards
Paul
Cliff Rogers 24th March 2011, 09:22 AM You want to borrow a paint stirrer?
I think I may have a spare one or two or three, actually, there are a couple of bucketfuls out there.:think:
Waldo 24th March 2011, 09:57 AM I've got a flat stick - with holes in it :2tsup: And it was my Grandfathers' paint stirrer too.
Bushmiller 24th March 2011, 07:29 PM Actually I have bucket loads. I was looking for someone to take them off my hands.
Alternatively, if somebody would like to donate a few hundred gallons of paint...... Oh, then I'd have even more work......Never mind:rolleyes:.
Glad I have a few of you out there who understand; Maybe even sympathise?:D
Regards
Paul
PS. I would probably be in front of the TV cursing and swearing too if the thing was working.
Waldo 24th March 2011, 09:43 PM PS. I would probably be in front of the TV cursing and swearing too if the thing was working.
Stand beside the idiot box as you curse and swear that the damn thing is on the blink - again, then give it a hard smack on the side and it will come on. :2tsup:
Then take a few steps back and continue cursing and swearing about the gits on the box nowadays. :D
underfoot 25th March 2011, 05:39 AM .... it only becomes a problem if you can't laugh at yourself for it. :p
Yup..you need to be able to laugh at yourself.....
If you can't......give me a call................I'll laugh at you :q
hughie 25th March 2011, 11:39 AM What if you shout at politicians?
Hell we all that these days, your normal. Theres only so many dipsticks you can handle in life
Cliff Rogers 25th March 2011, 04:52 PM Yup..you need to be able to laugh at yourself.....
If you can't......give me a call................I'll laugh at you :q
You or Kevin?
artme 13th April 2011, 09:51 AM Didn't know one grandfather as he diedwhen my father was young. Other grandfather died not so many years after TV began here in Oz.
I,m hoping to set a precedent in the family. I want my grandkids to yell at the TV.
