    What erks me ....

    ... is falling asleep during a film late at night and then having to down load a dodgy copy the following day in the full expectation that it is probably a load of tulip otherwise you wouldn't have fallen asleep in the first place.

    For example, 'White Noise' on Ch 4 last night or 'The Village' from a couple of weeks ago. Actually, I didn't bother with that one because I had it sussed as a wrong 'en.
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

    I was watching the tennis earlier and Sue Barker promised if I pressed the red button I would see "Laura Robson in action".

    Could you imagine my upset when I followed her instructions and discovered, to my great upset, that she was only playing tennis.

      Im terrible at falling asleep during films also. Many a DVD I have had to watch 4 or 5 times to get to the end.

      I suppose the fact that I fell asleep 10 minutes in probably should tell me that the films not really worth watching.

        My girlfriend doesn't let me fall asleep - I'm subject to much poking if I try to

          As a rule, I will curl up in front of a good thriller with the missus, she will identify the villain within the first 10 minutes and then fall asleep.

          Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

                  My wife misses the first 10 minutes of any film, and then spends the remaining time asking questions that were settled at the start.

                    I have yet to watch an entire film with my wife (of 20 years).

                    The cinema just makes her go to sleep - reliable as clockwork.

                    Then she says things like 'I really love that film' when I know full well she has only ever seen the opening 15 minutes and the closing credits.

                    You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.
