fabled injunction

the news papers has gone injunction mad telling us "we know something you don't know and think you should know because we think it may sell more papers so it must be in the public interest"
then some people on twitter do some twitting and soon
we all know what the news papers know and think we should know.
so are they happy?
no
and in the big fight between freedom of speech and right to privacy
no one has pointed out (not when i've been listening) that the court time and taxpayer money is being wasted to stop someone telling other people who there sleeping with something thats going on in pubs up and down the country and the easy way to stop this is to make it illegal for news papers to buy story

it's at this point i should reveal that a married celebrity who can't name for due to an injunction has come over to my fictional house she spent a lot of time on my nonexistent Futon doing things I'm not allowed to tell you with me
but due to the wonders of the internet you can speculate all you want on twitter and help boost my traffic

do we need more rubbish on tv?

yes!
some time the would sends you signals and over the past week it has been telling me to get nostalgic for the time when channel 4 filled the night with odd programs and bad movies the first signal i was sent was in the form of Joe Cornish constantly popping up on fillm4 to promote his first feature film Attack the Block
it was the low budget The Adam and Joe Show that kick off the night with a bad movie rounding the night off which brings me to the next signal sent to me from above

when in a charity shop with my brother he pulled this guy out of a bucket of action figures

for those of you how don't know this is The Toxic Avenger the savior Tromaville where a good number of these fantastic bad film were set.

with more tv channels than ever we should have a b-movie Smörgåsbord to fill up on but instead we get the repeats of the same programs that was in the daytime

so my massage to the tv executives of the world is if you must fill the schedule with rubbish can we please have a bigger variety of rubbish to pick from

do we need more rubbish on tv? Mug

Import export

When I was working on my last post i thought that although English is the primary language of numerous country we import TV programs from very few of them.
We have an overwhelming amount of programs from the us two soap operas from Australia but I can’t think of any programs from Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, the British Indian Ocean Territory, the British Virgin Islands, Canada, the Cayman Islands, Dominica, the Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Grenada, Guam, Guyana, Ireland, Jamaica, Montserrat, Nauru, New Zealand, Pitcairn Islands, Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Singapore, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, the Turks and Caicos Islands currently on our box
So I thought I would ask any international visitors what programs you think us Brits should be watching from your neck of the woods
