So, right, let's get this straight. I'm not a saddo, OK?
Not at all.
I have a life.
Have we established that?
Good.
But... last night I was... I was... oh, I don't know how to say it... I was watching the snooker...
...it wasn't deliberate! Honest! It just came on, and I didn't turn it over.
Anyhoo, there's some slow-mo footage of ugly guys in waistcoats at the beginning...
... and in the background, DOMINION is playing . A whole minute of Sisters somehow snuck (why am I using an American word?) onto the most boring programme on the telly. Utterly bastard surreal.
Anyone else see (hear) it? Or am I the only loser?
I can't believe no-one noticed...
I think someone mentioned it before...

It's easy to get sucked into something on TV that at any other stage of the day you would NEVER watch. I find myself every now and again being sucked into some mindless debate on Trisha at some stupid hour of the morning. It's horrible. You'd never hear Dominion on Trisha.

Now, Trisha... that is quality TV. Tells you all you need to know about The State Of The Nation...
...yes, it's very bad.

not sure if anybody remember also the Marry Whitehouse Experience but they had Dr. Jeep (if my memory serves me, which after years of farm house scrumpy abuse, it generally doesn't, so probably was another track) on one of the sketches

Not as shocking as the time BBC1 used a mash-up Skinny Puppy track for advertisements for that stupid reality TV show where they put a load of people somewhere to live an iron-age style life...... now that was weird...

Snooker is really hypnotic, much like cricket. You can easily work or read the paper while it's on, and the click of the balls will let you know if you need to look up. The BBC digital coverage is even more Zen-like, because they just put the camera on the tables and leave it there during the intervals. I'm not exaggerating to say that at least three times this week I've spent a good 15 minutes just watching the crowd sitting there doing nothing except occasionally cough, get up for the loo, settle down, or offer each other sweets. It really is quite entrancing...

Snooker is fantastically watchable. It's the perfect TV sport.
Everything happens within a comfortable camera view and it's technically exacting.
Can happily waste a day watching it.

I know you're right QB but who has time to leave them standing around open?
Well, unless it's a really good bottle...

The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.
