Actually, Pel, much as I missed LT when he wasn`t here, and much as I`m delighted that he`s back....No Expert DOES have a point! Until now I hadn`t realised the Apprentice thing was a Beeb effort. It does show some dichotomous reasoning on LT`s part, though I wouldn`t agree about the shit for brains remark because I like LT and am convinced he`s very intelligent really....

Fluffy it is on BBC1 (at this time)
correct - but Alan Sugar makes the programme
what it is.

It does not change my view and millions of others who want a end
to this well out dated BBC Tax.

I`ve listened to Beeb Radio 7 today, `Three Men On the Bummel`, 15 minute segments of sheer Funny!
Today`s episode, describing lodgings in the Black Forest, then a hilarious rumpus in a mountain restaurant. I`ve heard it 3 times today, then put it on to share with the menfolk this evening... and I was still giggling at the same bits, fourth time around.

NE why don't you crawl back under your stone and stay there you slimeball?



Oh sorry for pointing out that the forum's number 1 poster for ill informed barely thought out 'opinion' has shit for brains. But lets face it, he does. Seen how he writes? That is the thin end of a wedge that ends with having a brain with the processing power of a speak and spell.

So why do you worship this idiot god? You always pop up to defend him, despite him being by and large, a total prick.

Gah! LT said goodbye on this thread and now it's gone. Come back LT!


posted by that poster?

Makes no logical sense
I return then get abuse from the same poster.


Thanks again to BornInHove and Pel.

What a boring world it would be though, if we only spoke to, and only liked the folks who agreed with us...and what a boring microcosm any forum would be without some dissent, some outrageous rubbish, some ranting and some name-calling.
LT, I haven`t watched TV as such for many weeks. It started with having to clear the living room of as much stuff as possible for my daughter`s chap to decorate for me (my resident menfolk not being that way inclined) and the telly (a portable) top-box, video and DVD player and their attendant spaghetti of cables etc., got put in my son`s room, where my grand-daughter`s X box got connected to some of it, and I`ve never felt the slightest urge to ask for it to come back in here...place seems a lot tidier without it. Channel 4, BBC I-player, and radio 7 and radio 2 (all online) are providing `entertainment` more than adequately, more than I have time to watch/listen to.

Shudder ... Can you imagine seeing this every night on your TV screen?



Mind you, I doubt he'd be any more biased than their current Middle East news department ...

Grumble...grumble...Nick-lies-through-his-bloody-teeth-Miles ... grumble ... grumble.

Yes The Iplayer from the Bloated BBC
has created bigger problems for Tiscali and other companies
who say The BBC is short sighted.
Typical of the Bloated BBC
they do not care what problems they create

OK, LT, I read that article, but I hardly see the I-Player as creating any more `problems`.....what DOES create problems is companies offering `free` broadband deals, and selling bandwidth that they haven`t got!

Of Course you would not see any problem with the BBC
you think they never do any wrong.

Actually LTNS Fluffy is right and as for never seeing wrong - I think it is more a case of you never seeing right where the BBC is concerned (as well as quite a few other things you get a bee in your bonnet about)

I watch The BBC
but it is time to take that well out dated BBCTax away,
which of course you do not pay Miriam
as one of the few folks who do not want a TV,
which is fine.

But, still `no comment` from you LT, about the REAL problem - people selling bandwidth that they haven`t got!

who are angry with the BBC.

I pay for the BBC - they make big bucks charging expats like me for our weekly dose of 'stenders, and then lumber us with endless repeats of Dad's-bloody-Army and Keeping Up-Bleedin-Appearances. That and Bargain Hunt, too. And I pay for it!!

Now, if they could make BBC2 available on the satellite, I wouldn't mind paying so much, but putting out daytime tripe at prime time is really too much. You know what we get from 6.00 - 8.00? Changing Rooms, Ready Steady Cook and The Weakest Link. Gah! Curse you BBC Prime.

It's a good thing I've got 600 other channels to choose from - Hamas's Al Aqsa TV provides some great kiddy shows - Suicide Bomber Giant Bees, Anti-Semetic Mice and now a rabbit who wants to eat up all the Jews - and I'm not kidding, this is really children's TV.

Anyway, at least I still get the World Service on my shortwave.

Glad to see the middle east finally getting on message with multi-culturalism then. Nothing worse than feeling victimized in a society or that everybody is out to get you.......

I came into the world with nothing and still have most of it left..

I pay for it
endless repeats
and as for BBC2
4 hours of Golf - how bleedin' boring.
I want a Refund.

And the Bloated BBC is now refusing
to allow ITV1 Local Regional News , Ch4 Docu's
and Ch5 childrens education tv,
part of their Public Taken Tax money.
Typical of the BBC not sharing that stolen money from the UK Public.
They will go
if they do not get funding
so The BBC will be made to share that money.

I dumped my TV years ago. It went on the blink and I did suggest that LTNS buy me a new one but as he hasn't bothered, neither have I.
