Irritant of the day!

I am still back at the family home for Christmas celebrations until mid January and I face a big problem...trying to enjoy sitting in the living room whilst my father decides he wants to Star Trek.

Yes this is the problem I face. Although, many of you reading this may in fact enjoy watching Star Trek, the episodes on Channel One are haunting my families lives. No, we don't have the heart to tell him that we can't stand all these episodes, and that we have to go sit next door. Why? Because he puts up with us watching trashy TV.

I am the first to admit I love a bit of si-fi on the TV, but there is something about Star Trek that grinds happiness down.

I look forward to heading back to University for my couch potato program...F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

Moan of the day

So at the moment as we sit casually here on our backsides scanning the net, watching TV and eating our Sunday roasts, the world is turning round and getting ready for the darkness. That's right..the night's here in the UK are coming sooner as the sunlight fades early around 6pm. Before we know it at 5pm it will be luminous black with a glow of street lamps, walking home from Work, School and Uni after a hard day without experiencing the sun.
The benefits of this are little, as the prospect of darkness comes closer the delights of warmth beings to seep away.. and we can no longer just jump out of bed with joy and be ready for the day.

Oh let it be different this year, give me strength to get out of bed.

Moan Moan Moan.......

So I am short sighted and only occasionally wear glasses when I drive, or to read white boards.

However recently as I have been getting older my eyes are beginning to fail me a bit more each year. I am always being sprung upon whilst watching TV when suddenly everyone has decided to use text messages on programs, however with text boxes which I can never read. It is always a surprise and never get a warning to go fetch my glasses, which I couldn't wear all day waiting for this or Subtitles to appear.

What was wrong with the days when everyone just spoke what needed to be said. TV isn't a book.

Moan, moan, moan: Ticking off the clock

No, this isn't a depressing comment about the longevity of life.

It's the annoying clock in the corner that continues to tick every second of every hour of a long day.
Absent and silent whilst active or watching TV, but the minute you go to rest or sleep it is all you can hear or think about.

WHY DO YOU TICK? You tick me off.

Although, it appears some people find this relaxing and calming (who are you). Well try being stuck in a room with a Grandfather clock that chimes the time every 15 minutes, and continues to belt out a woodpecker tick every second. Try dealing with that without it getting on your tits
