I love my husband, but why does he watch such sh*te television?

[dulwichmum]

I once loved a man that simply adored a TV show called Quantum Leap. He would toss his cerise pink ribbon bound buff files to the floor and focus as though his life depended on it when the show came on TV. Naturally, I considered him unworthy of my charms and moved swiftly on...

When I met my husband, I realised the intellectual giant that he is (he is incredibly influential you know!), but play the damn music for Heroes and he behaves like a hypnotised child. My son of seven years old makes more sense when faced with a previously unseen (there are none) episode of Star Wars.

Am I alone in this? Is this phenomena restricted to men of breeding with wardrobes like Rupert the Bear? Please re-assure me that men up and down the country behave in this irrational manner, and not simply those at the helm of this home we call England?

DM swearing!? OHMYGOD!

I always knew the Penge roots show through in the end.

[dulwichmum]

Darling Ant,

you are a love, but clearly, you feel my pain, non?

[Ant]

Well, it's true. The missus does watch some godawful mopey crap at times. Anything to do with families is like crack cocaine to her. Especially gloomy ones. Why can't she just watch Top Gear like any normal person, eh?

[dulwichmum]

I too love a good episode of Top Gear. There is something strangely attractive about that many who is something to do with Paddington Bear.

Can I top up that drink for you dear heart?

[Michael Palaeologus]

Clearly he lacks other forms of stimulation.

You cant help feeling sorry for the poor sod, not only are his failings now broadcast in the Forum, but earlier this year in the Daily bloody Telegraph for the whole country to see!

Is its surprising that he hides in the world of sci-fi and fantasy?

Look to yourself Woman!

[Ant]

Perhaps he needs a hobby. I hear pets can be very good in this respect. Take a note of the TV schedules and then send him out to walk the labradoodle (ahem) at the appropriate times. Job's a goodun.

And yes, I'd love a top up. Ta. *glug*

[SimonM]

You're asking Dulwichmum, of all people, to get her hubby to try dogging instead of watching "Heroes"?!

[Michael Palaeologus]

She loves it. Often to be found hanging round the car parks of Dulwich Park.

[dulwichmum]

You boys (sob), you all stick together.

[LuvPeckham]

May I recommend a PVR for your other half, he can record what he wants and watch it later as a distraction whilst you are showing the gardener, Pool boy or Butler what exactly they have done wrong and how you need it to be 'fixed to your satisfaction' ;-)

Two problems solved by one electrical device !!!

(Edited because I was catching up on Heroes and I did a grammer thingy)

Dulwichmum...you should be a saint in the kitchen, a whore in the bedroom and turn the football on in the TV room....thank me later

[KalamityKel]

dont forget the beer too (tu)

[mockney piers]

I feel your pain brickie, I just have one word to say, Hollyoaks.

Or is that two?

[batdog]

Hey d-mum,

if I had a wife like you, I wouldn't waste my time watching any tv at all >:D<

My other half hails from the jungles of south America so you'd assume she'd be pretty unimpressed with our T.V but no, Eastender has worked it's evil spell on her as well. I watch Top gear, C.S.I and I can't stand football.

[giggirl]

Dulwichmum,

What sort of language is this? Did you have too much sherry? It won't do. I couldn't have been more shocked if the Queen had rapped her speech this year.

It won't do. It just won't do.

[PeckhamRose]

At least he's not on the PC all night.

Watching crap on telly is - I think - preferable.

Maybe only marginally though.

(Edited to delete references to porn channels which made it look like I look at porn channels; I don't!)

[bigbadwolf]

Youporn and Porntube are pretty softcore all round, if you want really filthy check out east dulwich sl.. does an.. first time volume 9.com

[Polly D]

DM ma cherie, Hairy Smelly Love cannot be prised away from Family Guy, Simpsons, Flight of the Conchords, etc etc for love nor money. But he lets me watch Eastenders and X Factor so we are equal. What happens chez vous when you want to watch cra*pola sur le box?

[Mathilda]

whoah!!! Let's not compare the quality writing watched by HSL with Eastenders and XFactor PollyD! You might not like them but crapola they ain't..

[Polly D]

I know I know, I meant I'm watching the cra*ola. But he does go into a complete daze when watching his progs, like a 3 year old in front of In the Night Garden...

[Keef]

Family Guy, Simpsons, Flight of the Conchords

Well be pleased that your husband has superb taste, you should take it as a direct compliment from him to you ;-)
