david1111 18,029 Posted March 29 So I've been home this afternoon and watched daytime TV. Thank god I work as I couldn't sit and watch that every day. I've nearly ended up sponsoring a donkey, sending water to Africa, arranging a funeral plan, buying a verisure alarm and making a will and leaving everything to the lifeboats. Oh and next time I go to a restaurant I'll order the gravalax 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1pstaker 12,337 Posted March 29 When I was a lad, skipping school meant some great gameshows...chain letters, Going for Gold, Runway, Pyramid game and many more. If I am off work now, its Frasier in the background for an hour in the morning, and thats my tv done until Countdown, Pointless, and The Chase. Hope people dont take this the wrong way, but all those ads, my son always says "instead of sending them money, send them contraceptives" To be fair though, im not a really big tv watcher. Mostly sport, and things like Gold to reminisce. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My old man told me that back in his day the only suggestive material was a drawing of a girdle advertised in the Sunday Post , reminds me of the Victorian days where they would burn chairs as the legs looked suggestive 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
david1111 18,029 Posted March 30 So back on topic, watching tipping point which is so cringeable. Guy gets cocky as pissing it and starts flirting with the bird stood next to him. I'd be fuming if I got an unlucky dangling wedge on the end or a rider (I know the clique chat). I'd be hating the lucky git who won through. Also after all the years this has been on people still don't know when to push the button, unreal!

Some shit for brains gets a lucky drop then they get first go at the second round ( which I can’t understand).

University challenge and pointless being the top end and tipping point being the dregs of society. What fruit is yellow and curved and begins with B? Is it a Cherry Ben?

Gkell727 6,357 Posted March 30 I’ve had to turn tipping point off in the past. When they get to the final Ben asks after every question what drop zone. Like they’d go for anything other than the drop zone that the jackpot counter is in. But low and behold I’ve seen several people go for a different drop zone. For what reason is anyone’s guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
