scottsdad Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Gogglebox used to be amusing. Then I realised that it was just a mechanism for pushing , first, TV shows and, later, streaming services. "This week, on Apple TV..." f**k off.

19QOS19 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Gogglebox enjoyment goes in and down depending on which families are showing at any given time. For example, the older Welsh couple make me laugh, as do Jenny/Lee in the caravan. I quite enjoy the grumpy guy who owns the Rottweilers too. Alternatively, the 2 fat Leeds lassies make me want to rip my TV off the wall and launch it out the window. Their accents grate.It's the lassies from County Durham that piss me off. The red head is particularly irritating (though a wid). I refuse to believe people can be as thick as her. Gogglebox used to be amusing.

I don't mind that part of it tbh. I have watched a couple of programmes as a result of them being advertised on Gogglebox that I otherwise would never have went near. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been totally dry since 2014, I was never dependent but like Richie said, one or two always turns into a sesh and you end up black out drunk having made a c**t of yourself, or worse. that was my reason for stopping. I was 25 at the time so it completely turned my social life on its head, nowadays less so but it's still shite not being able to go for a pint. If you had been sober for 2 years then the good thing for you is that you are definitely not dependent therefore you can stop right away without any external help. Perhaps I could offer a couple of things that helped me get to where I am (no support groups) Best thing I heard was; You have to make a decision whilst sober to have your first drink. if you can manage to stay strong with that then everything else will fall into place. alcohol takes away your inhibitions. 3 pints might not be enough to get you pished but it is enough to make you change your mind about only having 3 pints. Also, when deciding it had to be absolute zero, I technically could manage limiting drink to 1 or 2 pints on occasions BUT I knew that if I tried this as a rule going forward then it would fail. If you only have 1 or 2 then you are still a drinker, you can easily end up talking yourself into making an exception to the 2 pint limit for special occasions and the like. As soon as you do that the games up & you'll be back to bevying like never before I followed Kevin O'hara who has a youtube and blog called alcohol mastery. no god bothering shite, just straight up advice. after couple months I didn't even need that All the best 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superwell87 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Just got asked by one of my neighbours if they could use my broadband until they get theirs reconnected. Kindly told them I got rid rid of the internet a few days ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
