On a separate note, if any of you ever go to Mexico check out their TV weather girls. Mouthwatering! It's basically p*** but with clothes on.

I bought a Radio Times while I was in Tescos the other day....much more in hope than anything else. Independent content makers operating on the Internet may not have anything like the budget of the TV companies and are just talking heads but their content is free from the shackles and falseness of 'approved' TV....TV is anodyne and corporate. There is still value in some radio output though. Edited by Stirlingsays (17 Dec 2018 6.24pm) 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

anodyne adjective 1. not likely to cause offence or disagreement and somewhat dull. But it seems to offend a lot of people here. Are they offended by its inoffensiveness? Edited by steve1984 (17 Dec 2018 6.35pm)

Telly is a powerful medium. In a world where people call 999 when KFC runs out of chicken is it any wonder that propaganda is doing such a great job at distorting reality? I feel a bit safer with anodyne news. Edited by steve1984 (17 Dec 2018 6.31pm)

Edited by steve1984 (17 Dec 2018 6.35pm) Its political neo liberal, pro feminist agenda is offensive to me certainly....but I was referring more to entertainment value.
