bbc news 24 depression

[Abitrary]

I've been watching bbc news 24 for the last 3 weeks because the batteries ran out on the remote, and I think I actually slipped into depression.

I took the AAAs out of my rear bike light and put them in the control, and have just wound down with a bit of Waldemar Januszczak, the art critic, on caravaggio on BBC4. I might be up for a bit of celebrity something tommorrow.

I reckon all freeview things should have a safety switch that puts you back to non-news channels for the safety and sanity of the nation. Your nation and my nation.

chapeau.

I too have suffered from BBC news 24 fever. Except I had a choice. That or Belgian TV.

A regrettable move. The Baroque program was awful, thanks to the witless lump of lippy lard hosting. Just terrible.

But get away from the evils of 24hr news. I've made a conscious decision to stop reading the local rag and lots of the nationals because the endless tide of negative bullsh*t was giving me indigestion. Even Wonderbra Anussack has to be better than that.

eh? Apart from AA Gill, who was originally an art critic, name a better art critic than waldemar? Don't say bryan sewell.

I did however feel a bit bilious when I saw his fat little sandalled feet stridently pottering around courtyards.

Those pudgy little piggies were a bit much.

Can't remember the chaps name but he did a series on the Renaissance recently. Tall chap, moderately posh. Oh and my ex-roommate at college. He was the person who first introduced me to Bernini's Ecstasy Of St Theresa with the immortal words 'she looks like that because she's having a glop'. Mr Janitorsmop chose to disagree. Bernini was portraying religious ecstasy and 'how do you do that? You do it like that' <points pointlessly to statue> Yes, thanks for that illuminating explanation, you portly little tw*t. What Bernini did was co-opt an expression of sexual ecstasy, because that's what's happening to her. But that was beyond your chubby toed imagination. Witless tool...

AA Gill just thinks that The Baroque is a little trattoria in St Johns Wood that only he has heard of.

Oh and Brian Sewell is just priceless.

If you don't mind a bit of honest criticism yourself, that busy little lump of unpunctuation that you wrote there is reminiscent of bonj at his most overexcited.

You're ex-poly aren't you, abbers?

Don't go much on a TV that can only have its channels changed with a remote control!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've made a conscious decision to stop reading the local rag

Shame on you! By far the most interesting stories are the reports of local bring-and-buy sales, school fetes, aikido in the local community centre, etc etc etc.

But I do genuinely like the local paper and always have - wherever I've lived. And now, I find that I pay far more attention to our weekly local rag than the daily regional. That's partly due, I suspect, to our different situations but also because I do, in all seriousness, like local papers.

I gave up on our local rag when the headline once was, "Failed handbag snatch in Worthing"

Stone him!

I guess that the BBC are determined to see this Govt out. Regardless that their constant doomongering ultimately affects everyone. It will be interesting to see if they run a story on what % red nose donations are down on last year

I am a sad excuse for a human being as I don't give a toss about any of these things. However, being someone who works for a local authority, the endless council bashing and the distorted near-lies that make up a lot of the stories do get very wearing after a while and can give a chap indigestion. If you see stuff from the other side of the looking glass, the crap that the papers print, nationals and locals, starts to look very, very shabby indeed.
