I don't watch anything on tv regularly. My youngest boy loves to watch educational programs, like the History Channel, or Discovery Channel.

Sometimes I'll watch something with him.

However, I just can't sit in front of the tv very long, usually don't finish watching anything. I have too many other things to do, like posting here at Discuss NY!

Or on several other forums.

I prefer to do other things. I used to be addicted to tv though, and sometimes would watch the one-eyed monster for many hours a day, everyday! Not anymore. My tv addiction is cured!

License?
I'm afraid so kim, yes
It's to pay for the (supposed) privilege of receiving quality? BBC programmes, which is a bit of a contradiction in terms - but there ya go!

BBC radio programming isn't too bad to be honest, but most of the television offerings, especially on a weekend, are low key at best.

Fat cats getting fatter on the back of everyone else's contributions.....if they were paid exactly what they were worth, they'd end up oweing us!

I hear you vja!
I'm pretty sure after a few months of consistent exposere to the repetative jawboning of this new found toy I'll be throwing a blanket over the frame & removing the batteries from the remote

Thankfully it's never ruled my life. Though I can see how easily some folks can become addicted to it.....I'm a sucker for a good drama & love my sports, apart from that I can take it or leave it.

For the time being I'm back to watching the daily stock shows and a little something at night when going to bed.

Bloomberg, CNBC type shows popowich?
I have them on at various parts of the day as part of my work tasks.

One or two pretty faces flit in & out of the U.S segment of those shows on occasion too.......makes the viewing a little less arduous

What is your day job?
I got 2 actually.
I trade foreign currencies for a mid sized tranche of speculative capital on a sub-contract basis.
Basically, when they need another body to cover a specific event or busy period, they dial me into their platform & away I go.

When I’m not doing battle in that arena, I manage a property portfolio for a group of investors/business suits.

Hence the sporadic need to eyeball the financial world & it’s often unfathomable antics.

This is pretty much my television. If I do watch, I like home improvement, and love
