The wide eyed scream or roar at a tense or frightening moment is OTT and cringey. Mrs Khaki does something similar and every bit as annoying with horror movies. I CBA with them, but I'll sit with her through one or two for the sake of peace and quiet. If it's a movie or a scene I've already seen, I'll even warn her 'jump scare coming up right now' and yet still she does a 'loony toons' like jump out of her seat and exaggerated screech. I've actually seen her go and bury her head in a blanket so that she can't actually see a scene she finds particularly creepy. She has no answer when I ask her why she knowingly puts these things on when she's just going to refuse to watch half of it, and why she still shits herself at jumpscares even when they are entirely predictable. I just find it baffling, but f**k knows what goes on in their heads sometimes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. Nobody watches this pish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

Boo Khaki Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Gogglebox used to be worth a laugh when the quadruple gin drinking pair who regularly sat on their dog were on, but they left and I stopped watching it years ago. 0 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...
