Living Without A Tv (Again)
Ive posted before about not owning a tv.
(A bit like vegans always have to let you know that they are vegans the minute you meet them, I know..)
But my sister and her new BF paid a visit a couple of days ago and he was like "where's your TV"?
Just what the hell is it that people can't comprehend that NOT owning a TV was the norm just a few decades ago?
I watch much more intersing stuff on you tube than the latest storyline on eastenders or whatever.
Honestly dont get the idea that i need a TV.
I occasionally miss a good movie here and there and the occasional drama (I would have liked to have seen the recently aired "The Reckoning") but my life is no less different because I havn't.
I wouldnt have a TV in my home again.
Why would I when Ive got plenty of entertainment here on AB?

When I was growing up, some people regarded TV as plebeian, and themselves as superior for not having one.
I have a lifelong passion for TV, if I'm home I watch something every day, almost all recorded, I haven't seen an advert in decades.
I appreciate that some people find interest and amusement elsewhere, but I fully expect to spend my last days watching and enjoying TV.
