    No TV...

    It has now been two years since I dispensed with the TV...

    Lost 3 stones.

    Far happier.

    Far healthier.

    Just had an interview for a TV company, quite ironic.

    Bought a house last year, they had a TV in EVERY ROOM, even imbedded in the wall in the bathroom.

    I don't miss it.

    I'd quite like a TV in the bathroom wall, but I really love my baths. An iPad suffices well though - only dunked it once so far.

      I find very little on tv to watch these days, but I can spend hours playing Minecraft, so just ditching the tv wouldn't have much benefit for me.

        I do watch less TV than I used to, it is one of the recommended steps to happiness. I do enjoy the extra time.

        I suspect the loss of 3 stones meant you substituted TV time with something healthier?

          Sounds quite like a massage parlour setting!

            I bow to your great Experience I don't tend to go to such places.

              You would if you lived near Cullingworth.
              I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful. [Christopher Hitchens]

                Why, do they have really good ones there?

                  If I didn't have a TV I'd probably have to resort to leaving the house, talking to people or possibly even using my brain.

                  No thanks.
                  Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                    Don't worry, you'd still have CUK.
