This is the last grump from me I promise.
Tv programme makers.
They start the half hour programme showing us what saw last week, then they show us what we are about to see on tonight's show after the adverts, then come the adverts.
After the adverts they actually show us this weeks programme which lasts 5 minutes. They finish by showing us clips of what we've just seen and what we will see next week.
Is it just me?
Thank goodness for pausing live TV and fast forwarding the adverts.

To keep to the thread, people failing to lift their feet while walking and just shuffling their feet along making lots of noise.
But I am a fairly new member and have heard this alluded to before, how sensitive is the true story of " homergate" ?

You've heard of Watergate?
Well, it's nothing like that.

ok will go and do some searching 
Depends on what version you want to hear. To be honest I'm not going anywhere near the subject again so whatever is posted on here you'll have to take as is.
Got a feeling the pages got deleted as it all got a bit messy

No Bob. It's not just you. It's all part of the dumbing down.
Go to any group training session, seminar or whatever and you get...
1. This is what we are going to tell you.
2. Now we are telling you.
3. This is what we told you. Tell them 3 times and they might remember - just.

The one I really love is the way the programmes are cut to get the adverts in, solely on time. How often, especially in a film, do you get a scene change moments before the advert break.
What's so sacrosanct about the break being at exactly that moment? Would 30 secs earlier or later hurt the advertiser (who the hell buys off a tv advert anyway?) - or would it mean that someone actually has to do his job?

Steve, you bugger. You've just reminded me of another one.
Films on ITV that have a break of about an hour for news and weather.

well one of us has to have the brains, and you're ex-waf
but yes, you're right about that one.
You stay up late to watch a programme and some smarmy announcer comes on with the immortal phrase "and now in a change to our published programme....."

You get your 22 month old son ready for nursery - jumper on, coat on, hat on, gloves on - you go into the kitchen to check the back door is locked - come back into the front room and the little sod has taken it all off!!

Waiting all week to watch Auf Wiedersehen Pet in Cuba, only to find there's 2 1/2 hours of sodding football on instead
What do I hate ?
Life !

Can't stand whingers
Two things I can't stand is life and whingers.
And tv.
Three things I can't stand are life, whingers, and tv.
And work.......

Was down in London for the long weekend.
Why do the tourists not get out of my buddy way when I am walking down the streetant they see I am in a hurry.
And the youngsters with their jeans hanging off their arse bones and shuffling the buddy feet.
Pick them up and get aruddy haircut you idle buggers.
Must get some more prozac.
