I should've said, it gets me away from the sheep! Though of course I miss the company of my dear wife on friday nights.
Band of Brothers was good, though our interest had slowly fizzled out by the end.

Band of Brothers was a bit like a book I read as a kid called Currahee - from Mount Currahee where the Paras trained in the states. I don'tkn anyone else who's ever heard of it. I wonered if they'd got some of the stories from there.
I think Phil is probably only entertaining to people who don't have to share the house with him.
We only have public channels through one of those converters; I get my other shows via internet.
The cocktail glass wins hands down...I may steal that picture as my new avatar!
Now don't be hating on the CSI; I mean, all the females just get all tingly when Horatio does that hand on the hip thing...even though he's been doing it for ...how many seasons. I liked Grissom and the madam...
You almost don't need television with internet; I get all my favorite shows without commercials. The chinese websites are great; they have all of our old stuff!
It's just wrong for you to leave her out in the cold pasture on a friday night
Wow, am I out of touch!
If I knew there was a character on TV called Horatio, I would have picked Hornblower, and I'm guessing that's wrong.
Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

Thats Easter sunday over with. How is it you can eat a whole easter egg plus innards on Easter Sunday unyet on any the other day of the year 2 pieces of chocolate make you feel sick? Devine intervention?
I ate one of my two small Easter eggs and the kitkat bar out of the other. My Mother in Law got me the kitkat egg. She said she picked it for me ecause it was the "chunky" one.
I'm afraid I have an addictive personality. I have to stop eating chocolate completely otherwise I will eat all in sight. My self imposed ban will begin soon.
Hello!Wow, am I out of touch!

It would probably be Horatio Caine from CSI. I just can't stand his sunglasses and look to the future, truth, law combined with some great and profound quote. I just hope they will kill him very soon

So, so wrong. I can't for the life of me think why they have this fellah who's from the "walking away to action whilst talking to you" school of acting. He's a little hypnotic - can a bloke really have that much make up without cracking up. I think they give him the hammiest lines as a kind of in joke - you can almost hear the crew guffawing when he delivers them. Just watch the opening credits and you'll see what I mean.Wow, am I out of touch!

He's the ginger one.
The Who song is great with the line "We don't get fooled again" but you will be if you watch it.
No wait - someone has collected his hammy one liners:

I really like the sunglasses technique.

Ah, now that I see it's David Caruso, I'd be surprised if someone doesn't kill him.Hello!

Yep, that's why I don't watch TV!
Pretty sure Caruso's one of those guys who plays every role as himself, which may explain it.
He's a twat.

Is it not an expletive in the US? The world's our profane oyster.
No, it isn't. Somehow, they never caught up with it as they have with "wanker" which took them a while, but most of them do nowadays. I can recall, in the late '70s Mork & Mindy, whose landlords were a "Mr & Mrs Wanker".

Do they know bollocks yet?
I think you may be on to something; the characters are supposed to have similar characteristics.Wow, am I out of touch!

I don't know, I get sick whenever I overindulge...particularly during holidays. It must be your male iron will that keeps your stomach in line.
It's really great that your mum in law bought you easter candy; in the states, they always leave the adults out. Why did she buy you the "chunky one"?
Now once I start eating chocolate; it continues throughout Christmas.
I think alot of men share your feelings; but the ladies love to see that bit of glued on hair blowing in the wind and that pursed lip, hip out, putting on the glasses at sundown swagger..Hello!

I don't know, does a twat mean some part of the female anatomy...if so, we do have a general idea of what it means in America. Americans seem to prefer the more vulgar words that leave no doubt as to what is meant...

Chunky - a synonym for fat, flabby, obese, big boned, carrying too much, of inestimable girth, porky, a gut bucket, beer bellied - I like synonyms.
I think she was joking...although she is definately not on the large side, so she might have been getting her own back for my references to her height. (4ft 11)
Yes - female anatomy. I think it's considered the worst word by the UK media.

Twat was definitely considered a swear word where I grew up, I'm pretty sure it's used in the US as well, but isn't that popular. Fanny isn't used in the same way in the US.
