You've pretty much summed up why I've not bothered to get a TV, nor is it missed. Everything I want is available on demand through the internet - why bother?

That went well. I was still up well past 4am. :lol:


I think I got to the letter I and thought fuck this. Seems I missed some funny bits though.

Whatever happened to post pub TV on a Friday? We only had four channels back in the 1980s and '90s, yet there was always something decent on when you came home from the pub. Now there are loads of channels and it's all repeats and crap.
There used to be a great pairing of Roseanne and Cheers on Ch.4 on Friday or Saturday (?) nights. The good thing about there being so few channels was that there were always a few people who'd watched the same as you so you could chat to them about it a day or two later. Community, society.

Yeah pretty much this. Haven't had a TV in years, just get everything online, especially with Netflix et al stepping up their game on the original programming front.

It seems that way.

The bloke doing the interviews is normally the one that does the games reviews so I'm assuming he's a fan.

Yes. It sucks so much. Get to a GP if you think it's definitely more than just a UTI (i.e. you're throwing up, got a fever, back pain that you can't massage away), leaving it can cause it to get pretty nasty. They'll give you antibiotics. In the meantime drink plenty of water.

Yeah. If you've got a kidney infection you'll pretty much be delirious with pain and throwing up etc. Sometimes bladder infections can travel up your ureta if they are left unchecked though.
You've probably just got a bladder infection, as they can give you pain in your back, kind of where your kidneys are, I get them on the regular. Go get some antibiotics!

Even the staff are cats. Although that one died they have now got a new one.
