Compassion, Courtesy, ROAD RAGE!
Americans back in the saddle and mad again
Discussion
Carzee, thank you for pointing that out to me! I now blame sloppy journalists not blinkered scientists.
I was getting increasingly infuriated by the so called new research that we hear about every week.
Once a year, the BBC will report that
- "moderate alcohol intake can be good for you"
- "junk food causes obesity"
- "a healthy diet can include chocolate and other fatty foods if eaten in moderation"
and get this, last week I heard a headline being read
- "a five year study concludes that bad parenting is linked to child crime"
No shit, Sherlock!
It's not often that I shout at the TV because I'm fully aware that it's a one-way method of communication, but...

Shouting at the TV is a passtime that has been handed down through the generations in my family 
And the Radio. And PCs. Just anything that tells us bullshit really..
I had to make a real effort to stop throwing stuff at the TV when we bought our plasma screen too
A friend of mine, fellow PHer who may or may not make himself known, once took his TV out into the front garden and dropped a concrete gatepost on it because Ireland won the eurovision song contest.
people came out of neighbouring houses... "What are you doing?"
"Ireland won the Eurovision so we're killing our Telly!"
"Oh right. Fair enough."
And back in side they went.

You may think that watching TV is a one way thing, but this man clearly doesn't www.five.org.uk/.
For those of you who can't be bothered to click on the link, it is a website created by a man (in the UK) who believes he is being monitored through his TV set by newscasters working on behalf on MI5.
Mmmmmmm...
Yep, I remember that telly well.... We were really pissed off when Ireland won so we took the telly outside and started kicking the sh1te out of it.
The telly was very resilient until we got the fencepost with the big lump of concrete at the bottom and dropped it through the screen.
fcuking Wogan got my my tits too.
The neighbours weren't that surprised, after all they'd lived next to us for a year already, so they knew what to expect

I just laughed until I cried. When I've finally bought this sodding house I'm trying to buy at the moment we must go for a Basingstoke PHers evening
