I enjoy stress-free escapism programs. The BBC has a few of them. I dont want to watch violence or abuse or thuggery or what have you. I do not find those things entertaining.
Wainrights walks and such other type programs are wonderful stress-free escapism. I love programs on the Lake District.
I would like to say that `comfort-viewing` has a big future.

Nat is the BRILLO. Anything else would be a 'soap filled pad'.

I don't see the point of another remake of this programme. The original can't be bettered, so leave it.

What are you after?

Well, me, sort of, I guess.

I don't go on about how poor it is as such but it isn't to my preference some/most of the stuff they do - particularly like the 'popular' stuff like 'Strictly' and EastEnders' but on the other hand they do stuff I love, such as David Attenborough and his wildlife documentaries for instance, so I think to myself for about £3 per week to watch stuff like this, then it's quite a bargain really - or at least I think so.

They don't 'grasp it' Sluffy, because they don't want to grasp it. So what do they do? Doesn't need explaining, does it?

Not really different to the ageing adolescents on the Ageing Adolescents site, is it?

I see that one of the two accountants on AA has given his immature views on Wiggin. It makes me cringe but I've observed this pair for a while and neither have ever shown as much nous as you'd expect from the office cleaner.

So nothing like Bob then.

Sluffy wrote:

Depends on what point you are making really doesn't it?

Do I moan about the BBC per se?

No I don't.

Does Bob though?

I don't think he does, I believe he's making a completely separate point more to do with public funds and people who are paid out of them seemingly attempting very hard NOT to pay public taxes on them.

And if he is, then I have some sympathy to it, in which case I am something like Bob, albeit an subject I choose not to be much vocal about.

Is it really such a big issue big issue for folks to be getting shirty with each other for on here?

Is it that much difference to Bonce's fixation on slippers, or mine on cycling, it's not really doing anybody any harm is it - so why the seemingly growing abuse to him from several others over it?

T.R.O.Y. wrote:He can talk about what he wants, but he seems to think you and him are operating on an intellectual level the rest of us can only dream of - so he opens himself up to ridicule and the point he's making is flawed.

Don't know why you need to talk for him on it, surely a man of such intellect could defend himself?

We're actually a very friendly bunch who pass the time ribbing each other and taking the piss.

If you don't like it, stop posting.

You're actually a very friendly bunch, are you? Well pardon me for not noticing.

And if you think I'm going to start taking instructions from any Miss or Mister Bossyboots try thinking again.

Also, looking at Bob's last post whilst I've been writing this, it's no fun to stand alone and feel got at by others when you don't think you've done anything in particularly wrong - and he hasn't really has he?

Why not give him a chance and accept his ways are a bit different than what we normally see and tolerated him as we have done with the 'slipper' fetish, the twix loving 'gender bender' and myself who likes to write a little bit more than most?
