    I haven't had tv channels (even rte) for over 10 years, I have the attention spa of a gnat, but I don't give a rats what anyone else does with their spare time.

    I'm certainly guilty of this, I spend far too much of my free time watching rubbish or sitting in front of my computer screen. That's not living, I don't want to idle my life away at this crap. My main hobby is mountaineering and hill walking but because my club does most of its activities on weekends I find myself at a loose end after work during the week. I need to take up something new and productive.

    Imagine reading a book and every 10 minutes somebody snaps it out of your hand and starts shouting at you about the deals in Harvey Norman. Not even worth it.

    I just have developed a dislike of people lately so I prefer to stay home and get lost in the endless rabbit hole of the internet lately...

    I am absolutely not watching too much TV and I'm sure that Sookie, Ted Moseby, Sheldon Cooper and Agent Rossi would agree with me.

    I was getting off the internet to do an assignment 4 hours ago. Now I'm telling myself I'm going to bounce out of bed in the morning and fly through it while eating my breakfast. Right now this seems almost realistic. It's not.

    I've not watched TV in maybe 2 yrs at least and that when I was forced to!(ya know soaps etc). Defo not watched much tv(less a hour a week) for maybe 10 years, no sh1t you say.

    I usually download and watch my stuff on a media player at a time of my choosing. Oh I do keep in contact with current affairs, have d'internet(including boards!) for that :)

    I despise people who spend hours sitting down in front of the tv watching all kinds of garbage. These days i would much rather read a good book than spend time looking at my box. I'm beginning to think Ted was right and tv really is chewing gum for the eyes. How do you stand on this issue?
    So you spend hours sitting reading a book instead :rolleyes:

    According to the OP, reading a book is better than watching garbage on TV. I'd love to know what s/he is reading and what s/he defines as garbage. The OP might be feeling all superior as they tuck into the latest Jackie Collins meanwhile I am watching Discovery.
