Well I'd have gone SPASTIC if I'd missed an episode of 24. Fortunately I have Sky.

24 is rather preposterous though.

You should watch The Wire instead, intelligent, crafted, realistic programme.
Ummm...no. I need my weekly dose of JACK, if only to continue the "DAMMIT" count - he's up to 53 this series already and its only just past lunch.

Hither (sometimes Thither)
I think i watched 22 episodes of 24's first series and about 8 of 24's series 2. During these Jack died a couple of times. And with those deaths and his charmless daughter being almost eaten by a puma, but instead held captive by a member of Dillon family for moments, my will to cheer this programme's stupidity perished for good.
How many times has he now passed away overall?

I notice that on the DVD an hour of 24 lasts about 38 minutes.

Same with Lost aswell

Thats why i waited and got them on dvd, might mean i have to wait a little longer but don't have annoying adverts and don't have to wait a week to find out what happens next

virgin media. can kiss my hiney. they have an utter freak of the highest order working in their retentions department.i wont name her but she is unable to hear properly cannot work a computer is entirely unable to send a letter to the correct place. can not give me a proper fax number. tried several times to transfer my call to her superior. failed. ended up getting her knobcheese boss to come to her desk and talk on the phone to me. knobcheese was not able to deal with my complaint so put me through to some other dipshit in some other rat infested call centre who pleaded the fifth and told me i was through to the wrong department. this total loser put me through to the original department who told me i needed to speak to losers department. i played phone tag for 2 hours. ended up back on the phone to the original dummy and asked to cancel all our accounts. two business and our personal one. oh no sir. i will put you through to sales. where they tried to get me to stay so i detailed the morons i have just spoken to and why i want to cancel so the butt muncher agreed to cancel my accounts.

i piss off to watch my sorry arse football club attempt to (and fail quite spectacularly) play football and the wife gets on here and someone tells her virgin media are the way forward and best of a bad bunch or whatever.

i get home in the morning with a thumpoing hangover and my mouth feeling like a lawnmower has down ten laps, the baby is screaming and wife tells me to phone up virgin and grovel and get our accounts reinstated. hands me the baby and pisses off out. i try to phone virgin. press 1 if you want a microwave dinner, press 2 if you want the washing done, press 3 if you want to speak to someone who will not listen to what you say, press 4 if you want an arrogant condescending teenager. press 5 if you want phone sex. press 6 is you want a brain dead bint press 7 if you want the time and weather for brisbane or banff

pressed 5 and got some patronising fruitloop who wanted to know why i had a change of heart. told her the truth, my wife was making me do this and she queried who wore the trousers in a joking fashion in our relationship.

but oh no. phone sex five can't deal with this. the baby is in my arms hollering and whooping because mummy dearest has bogged off. number five puts me through to Linda the scouser who has a very basic grasp of english. i ask if she woudl prefer to converse in another language of her choice. she puts me on hold and then puts my call through to what sounds like columbia but is probably southampton or something.

eventually get what i need done. 1 hr 30mins later.

three hours thirty minutes on the phone to those schmucks.

a pissed off wife and a baby who hates me.

virgin media can kiss my hairy arse.

and i was right and justified in my original complaint which has now be refunded. if they did that in the first place i could spare her downstairs giving me ear ache for hours.

but no.

so i know the refund is coming and treated myself to good ale.
