    I only have Freeview and it is always the same. Same stuff over and over again ..... considering Netflix.. but maybe it is the same.. repeat after repeat....

    Hi @Schildpad, I've popped you a direct message about the spam filter. Sorry about that - It's extra sensitive at the minute. Regarding Netflix, I've noticed the top 10 and new films/series changes quite often these days so I find there's always something to watch 😊

    i have not gone to the cinema for a very long time but there is nothing interesting.. maybe around covid times i think.. i want to go back but there is nothing interesting. in order to feel at home one has to like the place you live at the moment i hate it but i hope i will one day move. i would love to own my own place so i do not have to accept all these unwelcome people.. even if it is done by law i just do not like it… having to tidy up the room so the agency does not complaint etc.. in case someone from the agency comes… it is all anxiety and stress..

    I got rid of my telly last Friday, and i wish I had done it sooner!

    I am currently listening to Kairat Almaty v Celtic in Kazakhstan. The radio and Internet access is enough for me. When I locate an old crt portable, one not costing 300 quid, I will get my Sega Master and Megadrive back up and running.

    @Ranald

    That's interesting 🤔 😊

    I always thought the same, I lived without TV for over 10 years but now starting to appreciate something in the background, though I guess you can get that on a computer now, or radio like you say

    i am not sure.. sometimes i like the idea of not having tv.. i probably would read more etc… it is true sometimes i am with the computer and having it as a background noise. i am not sure i can live with out it. or it would be very hard. and the older i get the more i appreciate it in the back ground.. it is not just the sound but the images as well.. but maybe it would take some efford and ii would be able to do more stuff.. but maybe tv license will be harassing me and not believe i do not have a tv…. i am not sure but i thought about it in the pass. i know of a person who does not have a tv… he relies in internet… etc…

    I would have a big telly if I thought there was anything worth watching. The only thing I watch is Sportscene and some news programmes. I can do that adequately on my tablet. I am still keeping my tv licence.

    I'm having a small whisky as not had one for a good while. I went for Deanston 12 year old mostly as it was at the front of my whisky cupboard but it's half empty so I must like it. It's nice so far 😊

    I kind of get that, depending on the program I guess you can engage with it as much as you want or feel up to?

    Do you like to watch stuff you know, or are you happy watching things you haven't seen?

    I often watch the same videos on YouTube before I go to sleep, I guess because they're safe as I know what happens. I say watch but I mean listen to as watching keeps me awake, but I watch compilations of stuff like the Top Gear News, or Ricky Gervais Show 😆

    @Grumpy1314

    Sounds like a diverse mix 😊

    That's interesting about military.. is that something from your past or just an interest? Of course goes without saying please don't answer if not comfortable. I always would have liked some kind of military career if I'd never had health issues, I kind of liked the sound of the community and the culture

    You couldn't beat the earth trembling power, and thundering roar of an Avro Vulcan. Thankfully they were never needed!

    You seem to know your stuff, and i wasn't very clear. I meant their main purpose of carrying a nuclear payload, and dropping it on the Russians!

    Good morning everyone

    @Grumpy1314 thanks for sharing that family history, very interesting to read 😊

    I've never known much about military service in my family because those who were still alive when I was born were too young to serve in WW2. I do have a relative who grew up in a very middle class family - learnt how to drink tea from a teapot and always wore a hat outside etc. When he was called up it was a shock to his system seeing men eating their breakfast wearing a vest at the table and swearing, and he said after the inevitable first few weeks of being ribbed for being the posh boy he absolutely loved it

    Good morning.

    We had a bit of rain here and now the sun has made an appearance.

    I have to go for a full body bone density scan today to see if I have osteoporosis and I am meeting friends later.

    I hope you all manage to have a good day.
