    hahahahahahahaha....... very good I'll admit......... me a dumass....... i was just over excited and wanted to lash out at the first thing i could think of

    how about


    "I'm a tax payer who has to pay for, my house, my TV (21%VAT on it), my car (VRT,TAX,Insurance,NTC and 89cent for a litre for go go juice), my clothes, my food, medical expenses, dental expenses, DIRT on my savings, my home phone bills, my mobile bills, ESB bills, Gas Bills, repayment on loans, €42 for the pleasure of having a credit card, €10 for having a ATM card, €5 for a blood sandwich (that was crap), €4.50 for a pint, €1.30 everytime i want to go across dublin, mad amounts of money for a mouthy TAXI driver to take me home after paying €20 into a nightclub and listen to him solving the worlds problems from the front of his puke smelling NCT failing mobile skip, €1.50 for an Irish Times and oh yea my TV licence and NTL bills, who just wants to go home after work and watch some decent TV without having to be subjected to mind numbing drivel of fruitless, pointless undereducated failing career PR limelight hunting z list stars, so please get my brain outta here" shows!

    I have enough of my own "get me outta here" problems.

    Switch over you might say?? Well my remote is broken and do you know the bloody price of batteries in this country....... I'll wait till ITV start to show something better.

    maybe i'll get on to the Dept of Communications and see if we can get our coax cable pulled out of england completely. Where did that lovely TV test card ever go with the girl and the blackboard, that was nice and more entertaining.

    true, but it's taking up a lot of time on 2 seperate channels, so it has reduced the options significantly if you don't have sky/cable.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 289 ✭✭Fudger


    nobody asked me if i wanted a crap tv program to beamed into my sitting room.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 289 ✭✭Fudger


    correction "to be beamed"............ over excited again


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,922 ✭✭✭Dave


    If tv upsets you that much, i suggest you throw yours out, there by saving on your licence and the minutes you wasted ranting on about some show which no one is forcing you to watch.

    That was certainly the cunt's intention, it was billed as an internet only pay-per-view event.
    Thankfully, it was cancelled. Don't know why though, anyone?
    The money hungry sick fucking whore, prostituting her child's birth.

    O, my god! The Guardian – which is imported and normal bigger - is 80 cent on weekdays.

    Though not a programme maker, George Hersee created one of TV's most enduring images - Test Card F

    The never-ending game. The poker-faced, Alice-banded girl locked in eternal combat with the gurning stuffed clown. -"Five quid on the clown"
    It's reminiscent of the feudal knight taking on Death at chess in Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal ... only with noughts and crosses, in colour, after the pubs shut.

    Test Card F - an eye-baffling arrangement of lines and coloured bars with the photo of Carole Hersee mid-game at its centre - has graced British TV screens since 1967.

    The BBC card has clocked up a serious chunk of airtime. Transmitted when TV stations closed down for the night and during the working day when no programmes were broadcast, Test Card F has been shown for an estimated 70,000 hours.

    Nothing baffling, the lines are to measure defintion and the colours to measure er colour...proberly.

    I have'nt seen the test card in years - the time is ripe for a BBC channel on digital!

    you obviously missed all the excitement of a month or so ago

    If tv upsets you that much, i suggest you throw yours out, there by saving on your licence and the minutes you wasted ranting on about some show which no one is forcing you to watch.

    hmmmmmmmmmm..... i never said ALL tv was crap, just that program. Now throwing a perfectly good tv out wouldn't really be a solution (hello to the bin charges) also the whole brain dead factor would have to included in that idea. It has to be pointed out that its not only the physical element of the 'crap' program beaming into my sitting room its everything that comes with it, ie: papers covered with it, every person who finds it hard to make conversation talks about it (note i'm a newbie). The whole most annoying factor of people saying "nobody is forcing you to watch it" yes correct nobody is forcing me to watch it (thanks for clarifying that point) but i would prefer not to be a sheep following the flock to the field of idiocy and instead question not only the intelligence of the makers and broadcasters of this program but the intelligence of the obvious major percentage of the population who seem to be almost defending the whole idea of being subjected to such rubbish and accepting it. Some people might say i wasting my time ranting on, i thought this is what this place is about (ie: rant but not change the world) and to the hecklers of "your wasting your time and you don't have to watch it i say "blaaaaaaaaa blaaaaaaa black sheep have you any intelligence no sir no sir three bags full"


    hey, that sounds like me. we must be the only two people in the world who are in that situation.

    hahahahahaha individualism noted. I thought i was the only one, o joy to the world we are not alone.
    the times is only 70cent for students.

    hahahaha if i was a student i wouldn't be wasting my 70cent on a paper but i would be in a position of not needing 70cent towards a pint.

    Fudger.... complain to ITV, I'm sure they'll be bothered that you don't like it.

    ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the humanity............
    you relise that you can edit your posts?

    no i'm a newbie trying to break the ice but i'm very slow.......... maybe a tutorial could be arranged before my illiteracy starts to clog up the whole of boards.ie. ( i mean that)
    fudger you rule! bang on! you and me should get together and shoot up a mcdonalds!

    hmmmmmmm should i be flattered??????? but I don't like corporate americas fast food outlet, but i'd be starting to stray of the point if i give you my views on that...... but thanks for the vote of confidence (i think)


    thanks for the test card, it brought a tear to my eye............ i remember as a kid telling my parents...... "some day i'm gonna be on tv" as it stands i never made it to the test card scene but i live in hope...... "i'm a tv test card celebrity and i love it"
