Suppers ready

My previous posts about how healthy I was have taken their toll as over the past few weeks I have been struck down cruelly by a bad chest. Time spent gasping for breath and coughing up phlegm has been less than productive, I spent the entire week horizontal on either the settee or the bed watching films and getting addicted to 'come dine with me'. I’d never watched it before and have only just started to watch it. It’s a nothing programme about 4 or 5 nobodies hosting a dinner party and vying for a £1000 prize (quite modest I thought for a popular show). The addictive thing about this is the people they have on, they are all either - awful, shallow, selfish or eccentric. It’s like a show that gives a glimpse into how British people really are. They bicker, snipe and sabotage other people’s plans; I find it really addictive and can’t help watching it.


The other thing I found strange in my daytime TV hell was the amount of repeats of house programmes and property market programmes. Is the person in charge of the programming schedule on a different planet to everyone else? Has he looked outside? Most people are barely clinging on to the houses they’ve got never mind looking at expanding into the rental market. Fucking idiots.
