[OT] Man I'm getting frustrated!
Here I am, sitting on my ass trying to watch TV, and there's all these channels that suck! Home Shopping Network, CBN, MTV, and the list goes on and on! Stupid shows that never change, no matter how much or how loudly I shout at the TV! And there's dozens of them! I tried calling my cable company to make them get rid of these dumb channels, but they refused. Refused! ME! The impertinent bitch actually told me all I had to do was not watch them, and then went on about how I could program my remote. Imagine! She wants ME to go to any effort whatsoever on choosing what I watch! What kind of world do we live in? Anyway, I thought I'd pass this on to all of you because I'm pretty sure not one of you gives a damn about my needless whining and my inability to ignore something uninteresting. That's what great about Usenet! By posting, people can't ignore me! Hah, let's just see them TRY! [The point will be lost on most of you, so this is probably wasted effort. Oh well.] - Al. -- To reply, insert dash in address to match domain below Online photo gallery at www.wading-in.net |

All these channels are the video equivilant of trolls. Unwanted, stupid, and
always in the way. Fortunately, my filter is working great, and I see almost none of the posts that others complain about. "Al Denelsbeck" wrote in message . 6...

Tell the TV you're not ever going to watch it again. It's also more likely to take notice if you
include in your (dramatic) departure statement that you've been watching it for 3 years hoping it would improve but that the opposite is the case. -- Colm "Al Denelsbeck" wrote in message . 6... : : Here I am, sitting on my ass trying to watch TV, and there's all : these channels that suck!
