OK ok ..I know that by now most of you are saying " for Christs' sake Rick get yourself a Life !" and our ever present ANON friends are gearing themselves up for some more intellectual banter and amusing input ("wanker" "shit" "tosser" etc.).
BUT ..what should people of a certain age who (a) don't want to shout at each other in a bar or (b) take pictures of each other with the mobile or (c) dance in Ibiza - expect out of that big ugly box occupying valuable space in our living rooms?
Well I reckon we're being short changed. Here we are in the 21st Super Space-Age ultra Cool Anything's Possible Future and the quality of entertainment gushing from all those channels on that box is, in most part, poor quality marketing and cheap per minute reality rubbish. And the best joke is, we pay for it!. WHO WAS IT who decided that the British TV viewer has (a)the brain of a pea and (b) is obsessed by trivia and wants to die from an early death of static TV boredom ?
(FYI all you sharp eyed ANON critics, nothing to do with CAFC either)

Hey man, I watched 'The Fisher King' last night. Sheer genius. That man Gilliam is a wizard. Tonight on spanish TV, we have four channels of talk shows about who's shagging who etc, and four quiz shows with maybe a fim after midnight. They say you get what you deserve, and I admit there's no licence fee over here....but 20 minute asvert breaks !?!
Don't get me started about Spanish TV. When we lived out there it was all bull-fights and quiz shows. plus or course the ever present news and weather. Why weather ? It's always the same, HOT. With you on Gilliam.
With you on this one Rick
There isn't even the consolation of watching 30 seconds of Charlton on Match of The Day anymore.
The Fisher King -great film .
