How do you cope? That's not even a day! Meester - you are missing the point. What you have just done there is come up with the idea of watching less TV. Angry - Twenty hours? How do you cope?

Meester - you are missing the point. What you have just done there is come up with the idea of watching less TV.

Scrubs is rubbish anyway. i didn't think so at first, but i've seen the light. recorder doesn't sound right. it makes me think of small children in blue sweaters playing <i>London's Burning</i>. you *could*, and i realise this is a radical suggestion, just ditch the recorder and not bother with TV at all unless you’re in and it’s on and you’re not doing anything else. that way you don’t have to decide and you’ll have more time for other stuff. maybe?

Painfully so, infact. My own generic hard disk recorder is one of the older models, so only has about 20 hours of capacity, which runs out very quickly indeed when you watch something good, and then press the 'series link' button. There have been many times when I've avoided TV for a few days, and come back to it only to realise the first few things I recorded have been overwritten. Cue much wailing and gnashing of teeth. That said, the only thing I have watched live in the last year or so is football. So TV no longer dictates my schedule. This is extremely familiar. Painfully so, infact.
