... for long periods of time these days e.g. entire shows or close to entire shows? Or do you dip in for maybe 20-30 mins at a time? Or, are you like me, dipping in for maybe 5 mins max once or twice a week if that?
I simply don't find any of it entertaining to watch any more. The presenters and most of the 'experts' annoy me. I hopped on last night and they were selling a handheld vac for £80-£90. The 'expert' (can't recall his name but he's an 'expert' on a few things) proceeded to show how amazing the vac was by vacuuming up a load of rice from a bowl ...
:mysmilie_17:
... how I laughed when it became evident the vacuum was going to struggle to pick it all up. He resorted to tipping the bowl and essentially dropped the last grains into the mouth of the vacuum!! He then proceeded to show how good the suction would still be by putting a placemat or something over the end ...

... how I laughed when that started to fall off!!
Mind you after those 30 secs I was back on to mainstream. I'm not getting at anyone who still watches for longer periods, each to their own etc etc ... but all I'd ask is WHY?!? What still draws you? Is it the fact it's pure car-crash telly? Surely there's only so much burnt milk in a pan, vacuuming up bits & bobs, horrendous bulky watches, carpet cleaning, sh!te fashion, paint spraying etc etc you can watch???
