I’m currently typing as First Dates Hotel plays on TV. If you feel any worries about the future of the human race this is the programme for you – it will confirm all your fears about idiots breeding and the gene pool going down the plughole. Looking on the bright side, if we need to lose a few million people to save the world I would start with anyone who has ever been on a scripted reality TV show. They are probably lovely people, but I’m not feeling in a generous mood.
I went to an NHS course this afternoon and am feeling in an evil mood. It lived up to my expectations, which were low. Three hours could have been condensed into about twenty minutes, and the quality of information was patchy, as was the quality of instructor. One was very good. One was not. We have another three hours of it next week. I’m not looking forward to it.
To be honest, I attended better courses when we were on the farm. This is particularly noticeable in the case of asking questions, when the two presenters seemed unable to answer anything that wasn’t on their list to talk about.
Back to the original subject – do you think that watching reality TV, or even having it in the background, can cause a loss of brainpower? It certainly feels like I’ve had something drain from me during the time it was on. Of course, it might just have been the will to live.
Reality TV is a question I cannot answer as I have never watched an episode, and the TV has only been used for movies for the last 25 years.
🙂 Good for you. Once seen, never forgotten.
It will be good to get back to singing God Save the King again after all these years of singing the wrong words. Mind you, I have got the hang of singing God Save the Queen now so all that learning will go to waste.
I’m sure we will all have to concentrate on the right words for some time to come.
Wait…except for British baking which starts tomorrow here… oh…how’s the Queen?
I don’t count baking, cookery, sewing, pottery or jewellery making as reality TV. They are education. 🙂
The Queen’s family are all gathering, as are various reporters. It is not looking good.
The Queen…end of an era
Yes, it happened while I had the TV off, so my last comment was out of date. It’s strange, as I’ve only ever had a Queen until, now. I may yet live to see two KIngs . . .
Though that family has longevity…wow (except her Father, but otherwise)
I’d better start looking after myself if I want to outlast Charles. 🙂
Me too…
🙂
Reality tv definitely cause lack of brainpower…
Glad it’s not just me. 🙂
What is reality TV?
Basically you look under some stones to find a group of people, then you put them in an unreal situation and watch them do unbelievable things. It’s like Sodom & Gomorrah meets the worst soap in the world and seems to be very popular.

These were your tags. “bad mood, NHS course, reality TV”. If you put that up as the title of your post you could save your readers a lot time.
I will make a note of that and give it serious thought. Next Wednesday’s post will be good – it’s the second part of the course. 🙂
