sometimes i dont mind little televisions, where you can't see that well. I wouldn't go as far as saying it was endearing or comforting, but it seems right for televisions to know their place and not try to be cinemas of the house. they look like teenagers that should have left home, those big ones

we got one of those freeview things where you get extra hollyoaks and gillian mckeith and channel 5, and you can see a bit clearer, but luckily it didnt work. i dont know why they have to have the tv on the whole time, especially when they leave the room. ive never seen people turn the tv on and then immediately leave the room so much. and then look bemused to come back in one hour later and it not be on anymore

Ahaha. One of my roommates leaves the TV on and the other and I take turns shutting it off as soon as he leaves the room. So far, no tempers have flared but it might be a countdown.

actually they were watching tv last night and i came in and was making some food, and there was this show where some poor people had to come on and justify why they should get given some money by these rich people. and they had to kind of prostate themselves in front of the rich people who then passed judgement on their lives before deciding who they would give their cash to. and i wondered how long it is before there is a show where 2 members of the public go on and one wins a bunch of money and the other has to have a family pet put down

and then there was csi miami where apparently ordinary cops fly to brazil on a whim carrying out personal vendettas to catch drug dealing terrorists.

i cant imagine what this stuff is actually like if you can see it properly.

one of them has now taken to going downstairs on a saturday afternoon, turning the tv on, and immediately going to sleep on the sofa. she even says, do you mind if i put the tv on to sleep

i think i managed to spray moth repellent in my eyes. this is worse than looking at Ulster Unionist profiles on myspace

I dunno, there IS something about lying on the sofa after a late night, drifting off to a cooking show or decorating schtick or something that is equally silly but that doesn't necessarily make you doubt the future of the human race.

My father used to walk into the living room where I was reading, see how quiet it was, turn on the television, and then walk back out of the room.

He wasn't naturally sadistic. He honestly thought(thinks) that a room without some background noise is too weird.

I shudder to think what the verb usage might involve.

I have friends with really bad tinnitus who must have a tv or radio on to sleep.
