Shouting at the telly thread

[ruffers]

There's a fascination about watching programmes you know are going to make you shout at the telly.

Today's entry Scams Claims And Compensation Claims, on Channel Four now.

Wot kind of shouting we talking about here?

[ruffers]

Any kind, I'm not fussy.

Usually only when there's football on for me. Plus swinging my leg trying to kick the ball.

[KalamityKel]

I often find myself shouting at me neighbours telly... they really do watch a lot of rubbish!

[ruffers]

The programme I referred to is people suing councils for tripping up, getting hit by a branch falling from a tree etc, and claiming they're doing it for 'justice'. Rubbish.

There's another thread I'm sure to be had about how the council may or may not be responsible but...

I enjoyed shouting at the telly.

I saw the first half of this, before Rab C Nesbitt came on elsewhere .....

What a load of bollocks. Greedy people just out to make money because they can. Cut yourself shaving? Sue the razor company.

We've just become a sueing (sp?) culture, innit.

What I don?t get is why people look for ways to sue their local council. Ok fine if they have been blatantly negligent and driven a lorry through you front room or something. But some troglodyte who trips down some stairs and then decides to sue the organisation to whom he pays a couple of hundred quid a month to provide him with a liveable environment thereby putting more financial pressure on the council and indirectly himself which inevitably leads to his environment being worse and him being more prone to accidents.

I?m not sure if it is because people are selfish or stupid or both.

I also have a sneaking suspicion that they do this sort of thing just to piss me off.

Ever since the lawyers were allowed to advertise on the box...........................damned lawyers.

In younger days I have occasionally kissed the telly - does that count?

An old CRT? Didn?t it feel all electricy?
