So I'm sat in front of the pc because dancing on ice is on (again) I have had this out with HID and lost. My point is I go to work at 7.30. She puts the telly on at about 8.00 there are woman's programmes on continually from then until 9pm. Jeremy pile, loose women, this morning, then on to the soaps and usually a birds drama of some description that starts at 9 until 10pm. When are the schedulers going to realise that there are men who want to watch something other than the very odd bit of sport. Disgruntled Drawboy.

Guess why Im sat at the pc also! Cannot stant most of what she watches.
A great example yesterday was her flicking Katie Price on from the Sky Plus, I said sure she is an attention seeking moron blah blah blah and that if noone actually cared what she got up to then she would disappear of the screens.She agreed but said she still just liked to watch it. GARGHHHHH!

Yup. That's why the Internet's so popular.

Conversation with HID earlier...

HID " Oh good, they're doing Eastenders live next week. That should be fun. Do you want to watch it?"

ME " No."

HID " Why not? It could be quite funny."

ME " No it won't. It'll just be the usual crap with more wooden acting."

HID " But it's live."

ME "So's the fitba' but you complain when that's on."

HID " We never watch anything together !!" Stomps off.

:D :D :D

I have to agree with everyone so far which is why I pay £10 per month extra for another Sky box in the bedroom. Can watch the sport on a nice comfy bed and slip into the spare room to catch up on the forum. She can stay downstairs and watch whatever the hell she wants.

I get to watch the sport and no ear bashing - simples

Prancing on ice is on. Not seen it for 5 weeks. It is still crap.

Luckily Mrs Mog doesn't do soaps, just ice dance and strictly.

Not so bad. Once the extension is done I will get my telly room with the 50" plasma.

Yeah, but your Mrs cleans your clubs and doesn't complain when you spend 8 days a week playing golf.

I've tried looking for a new place in Stepford, but the estate agents can never come up with anything. Can you persuade one of the neighbours to move, please. :(

Exactly the way I have it set up too. Works a treat till every once in awhile I get 'We don't spend enough quality time together' line !!

I told her to take up golf, but I wouldn't tell you what the response to that was!!! ;)

What a lucky escape.
If she had said yes, that would have cost you a fortune in all new gear, constant arguements on the golf course about her swing, even though you're only trying to help and.......she'd end up playing more golf than you with you at home baby sitting. :eek:

Count yourself a lucky man. :D

No - you've got a SKY box in your bedroom so that you can watch the mucky channels in your bedroom rather than run the risk of getting caught in the front room - we're on to you son!!! :)

Bloody Thursdays are the worst, is there any need to ever show a soap twice in one night. I detest tv schedulers.

If only (on both counts). Works pretty well and saves a lot of hassle in the footie v Eastenders stakes

Not sure about getting my neighbours to move but the woman from two doors down lives on her own. Mid 30's pretty pleasing on the eye, South African, good job - I could put a word in
