So glad I don't watch any TV during weekdays

[OwlHoot]

In my lodgings I use my TV only to watch films and suchlike (currently watching a DVD of Stressed Eric)

But if I watched BBC news, it would be hour after hour after hour, on the hour every hour, of obsessing and agonizing over the Manchester attack, yet again as always desperately trying to absolve the UK muslim community from any blame.

There are other channels available on freeview that don't show the news e.g. Film4, Pick, Dave, ITV3.

And people lining up to show they're more upset than the next person.

I do find it rather narcissistic (not people who have been directly affected, of course, but the usual assortment of 'slebs and their lachrymous outpourings).

especially celebs who say "we must stand firm", "this won't change us", etc, but then promptly cancel their gigs!

I guess some people like owly do enjoy exploiting the mass murder of children for their own entertainment.

I thought this was going to be about Bargain Hunt being on EVERY day!

Yes I agree. It was terrible, but other things are happening, and there hasn't been very much actual news about Manchester. Just the same story being repeated. I turned on The Daily Politics earlier and they were talking about it too.

Psychocandy is usually on Jeremy Kyle if anyone fancies a change.

I put it on thinking surely the hand-wringing must be over by now....nope, still going!

Oh well back to the hunt for obscure Fluvia Lacerda pics (which is what afternoons were invented for in the first place, of course).
