Toast is probably the single most essential thing in existence. No. It's a bread free house. Neither of us eat it. Closest I come is a Peshwari Nann with an Indian. So a toaster is a bit pointless.

Again, I’d be interested to know how many people restrict it to that, versus the watch whatever’s on brigade. I dont watch the news on the Tv ... I prefer a newspaper and the internet where i can choose what new stories interest me. Sport and films and some dramas and a few comedies plus occasisonal documentaries like Living Planet for me. yes some of it is for gorming out, but sometimes thats what you need.

AndyinLiverpool Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I have the TV on almost all the time as background to mask my tinnitus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I think it is a moot point whether people who own a modern mobile device on which they access news, messageboards etc on a regular basis can claim they don't own a computer. It's just evolution of technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SillyBilly Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 My TV in my rented flat hasn't been on this year as yet. Some obscure England qualifier would have been the last occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePrisoner Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I dropped a big chunk on one of those fancy LG OLED televisions a few weeks ago. Bloody love TV me. Very rarely watch anything on the main five channels though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably listening to loud music as a teenager. A pretty bog-standard way. I certainly can't trace it to any one event, though watching some footage on TV of an Iron Maiden concert did make me wonder about the Beast on the Road and World Piece.

That’s what I attribute mine to as well Andy, when I was young I used to be a roadie and was around loud music for years then there’s playing me drums with the headphones turned up to 11, I was a bit daft in retrospect but you don’t think of such things in your teens/twenties do you ?

It's just evolution of technology. That’s pretty much why I don’t have one - there’s no need if your phone does everything. By ‘everything’ I mean sharing pictures and music, buying stuff on eBay and coming on here. I realise that’s just a different form of distraction, but at least it’s interactive; it’s the passivity of tv that I don’t like. That said, I did watch five episodes of GoT last night and bloody loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no Monkey Island. Monkey Bloody Island! 84 discs of serious gaming. I had a magazine in my bottom drawer with the walk through in it - only to be consulted if I'd spent at least 3 full nights awake without making any progress. Those games took a fair chunk of my childhood which I don't even want back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Well I would have boiled a kettle, put the boiling water in a jug, put my baby’s bottle in the aforementioned jug and heated the bottle that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
