Grumpy old buggers thread

[RANDLOVER]

It’s not just TV. One of my biggest pet peeves is people who forget (or just won’t because they are more important than everyone else) put their phones on silent. That applies to tv, video conferences, meetings, offices, kitchens, bloody everywhere really.

On the other hand, I always got a laugh when there was a doorbell on the telly and the dog barked and rushed to the door.

According to her grandson, Agatha Christie (famous author) had a mad/grumpy/scared dog that would bite the person nearest him when the telephone rang!

I'd probably do that if I were a dog. Often I'll jump when the damn thing rings. They say I'm highly strung.

I bet she never had many visitors.

Are you a Violin? Re Dogs & TV.

For those who watch the UK Gogglebox Series.

You will have noticed the family who have about 5 large dogs in a tiny TV lounge + 4 adults also watching TV would just about tear the TV into tiny pieces if they could when certain animal noises are broadcast.

One of them usually uses the interruption to thieve some of the table snacks which usually do look quite good.

I'm getting ****ed of with all those Zoom interviews with all the crap furnishings & Photos on the wall.


If they could only see themselves & I'm sure a lot of them load up the background with **** that is only personal to them, but "Hey look at me guys, I've been to Bullamakanka" Idiots!

I used a custom virtual background so that nobody could see into my house.

Easy really. You sit in front of telly, switch on, select channel, prepare to laugh, piece of ****, job done.

At the end of the day it is freedom of choice & I like it & it is good for a laugh & then I don't suppose I'd like any crap you watched.

More like a 4 string banjo with 2 broken strings.
