Without TV

[BJ99]

How long have you ever stayed without watching TV ?
I have been so far 2 weeks without TV signal , cause of renovation works at the house beside me and it looks that it will be like that for another 4 weeks !
What do I have to look forward to when the cold turkey sets in ? Cold sweats , rushes , shaking hands or other symptoms of TV deprivation known to occure ?
How did you cope with it ?

Did it for a year once (was abroad & couldn't speak the lingo so no choice) but obviously find other things to do - got into the whole outdoor scene thanks to that.....still at it.

Funny how TV is such a big part of peoples lives & ya drop off the tv schedule planet for a few days (Electric Picnic coming up ) ..... and ya don't give a shite even about the news!
Anyways it seems to be all reality shite & reruns these days

.......and the government feel justified in their €160 tv licence bullshit cost

I honestly have to say I can't remember a day when I have'nt watched tv,it may just have been the news while having
breakfast or catching up with sport in a pub,but at some stage in a day I will watch tv.

I think I might even start to enjoy the sitiuation !
Found a very good page to read books online , very recent prints and really good once and for free ! I might be dead and in heaven !!!! onread.com you can read online or download .
The only thing I really miss are my news , I love watching news indifferent newschannels and the buffering drives me mad , o have to read it instead , not really the same but it has to do for now .
I broke my own ( very old ) record in Mayong against the Clock and I am ahead in my tax report ( I am shocked about that , never happend before )
I didnt sign up for netflix , cause it seems I have to have a Facebook acount and I have no intention to open one just for that !
After the first shock not to have TV , its not SO bad !
Thanks for all the helpfull tips , XX

You should be having hot flushes and not cold sweats Lilian! How are you finding time to even think about TV! You should start Shaking that Arse and purchase a magnet, to draw all the metal mickeys in to your life!!
Paddy McGuinness would say Lights Out, All Out :-))))

Months. There was tv here but I rarely watched it. Now with the recession I watch a bit (usually dvds) but when working, between training , cleaning , the animals etc I have little time nor desire to watch tv. Throw in a gf and the only time I get to watch it is if she was watching soemthing. The last time I watched tv was a few days ago.

not sure when,
Westside.
