Someone spiked his early grey that night.
Joking he was being tortured and asked if he saw 5 lights.

EDIT: My all time favourite moments from Top Gear are when they tested the durability of the Toyota Hilux and in another series made the Toyboata.

Q is at it again...

The star trek thing in this thread has really given made a life of its own,
and i am quite surprised so many of you guys are so clued up on star trek.
 
what can i say? I watch a lot of shit when im bored!!
 
haha
adverts annoy me so much i avoid watching tv if possible,
inevitably my head is full of useless information that i will never be able to work into a conversation :laugh:
 
what annoys me is that how programs go on break all at the same fricking time. so it doesnt matter which channel you hop to - its all ads
 
i remember reading up about it a while ago,its good for people in the A&R trade, as peak viewing times=a waiting audience to soak up your wares,but its unscrupulous and given that you pay for tv with a license and sky anyway,its got to be cheap enough now its soo widespread to not have to sell adverts to cover the broadcasting/satellite time.

i watched a movie on tv the other day and i found a use for the pause button!
as it went to an ad,i could go make coffee and come back and fast forward past the ad,but i drunk soo much coffee i couldnt sleep :banghead:
 
Well i watch and read a lot of random stuff to fill up my time. I recently subscribed to National Geographic £15 for 12 issues, usually £5 a magazine off the rack! I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't on sale but its cool to flick through and i got a free fleece!

I tend to watch my tv on the iplayer so i can watch it whenever i like and in HD if its available.

You'd be surprised what kind of things people know about without being hardcore into it. Also i agree with Freedom i even surprise myself and the things i find myself watching or reading up on.
 
National geographics Is interesting,i always pick it up at the dentists/doctors/hospital...
readers digest too,to a lesser extent.
I just prefer to control what info i take on board as opposed to being bombarded at every step of the way.
 
Well you might find it strange i notice these things but i think those baby wipe and nappy adverts are a bit paedo, they always creep me out. I dont want to see someone kiss a babies arse!
Readers Digest is a bit hardcore for me but National Geographic is cool, it had this massive section in one of its magazines about people who rave in tunnels under Paris.

EDIT: What is starting to annoy me more than advert breaks on tv is adverts on streamed videos like youtube. I end up being forced to watch the same for example car advert over and over again, if anything its more likely to put me off buying that product. Most adverts don't annoy me but i get irritated badly at sofa and bed adverts, its like im being overly bombarded with them. If they are able to drop a £1000 seat to £300 they must've been making a massive profit when it was £1000.

you know,there is a huge underground dance (mainly techno but more commonly now,dub)scene in paris-disaffected students wanting to vent rebellious urges mostly,but its very nice to see!

On the subject i have a lot of respect for the students (not that i really like the ones i know) that riot etc when they dont like what the gov'ment is doing,we really could do with the same thing here...

Slovenia has a similar thing,and ther is plenty of buildings of various states of err build there to commandeer for the night/weekend,its like late 80/early 90s UK!

I'm sure there are places all over the shop that dont get noticed.

I got a couple of kids myself so i guess tha baby wipes thing is lost on me a bit,but the recent cgi baby ads where they are doing stunts etc sickens me and i cant see why..

Sofa firms are the biggest rip off ever!
i was after a nice sofa a few years ago when i was financially better off (Much) and some doris tried to sell me a leather 3 piece for about 3 1/2 grand,i made her know that i was in the market and had some paper and she dropped 600 odd in about 20 minutes,disgusting thing is that the sofa was all belly(crap cuts of leather) so it would have been torn in months..she knew it and i knew it and she wouldnt give up though-eventually it became sickening as it became clear it was a commission scenario..desperation shining through,poor girl.

i have been following the lulsec thing and i dont beleive they would stop any more than shutting down the guy who made the ps3 hack tools will make sony invincible,time will tell!

i think everything has its place and time,and violence isnt a weapon but a defence,personally.
sometimes its the only solution but most times its a form of bullying.
