Re: TV Forum Watch News and Information Board

I remember when I would first join forums, or newsgroups as they often were back in the day, I would hang back for a while, try to read the room, and would always assume everyone else was much older than me before I made my first posts. I’d probably still make cringeworthy immature posts when I did ...

Re: TV Forum Watch News and Information Board

I’m guessing that ”LWT Fan 1968” is a parody account or they are deliberately trolling Use an old ITV regional name to get people on side but then post deliberate drivel. Regarding the 2021 predictions thread, I can’t work out if people are posting ridiculous or weird stuff as a laugh or if they are...

I’m not sure why Brekkie seems to be doing his best to shut it down, I never knew he was such a big Kay Burley fan

I could have bet my savings on when that BBC social media rules thread started, which member or members would have been the ones to wade in and dominate proceedings

Re: TV Forum Watch News and Information Board

No offence but seeing a load of English/Scottish/Welsh people continually talk about the 'best' name for UTV in the UTV thread , whilst they think they're being 'sensitive' about Northern Ireland is disheartening. It's white people talking about racism all over again! That discussion line seems to ...

Re: Adverts that irritate and entertain

I like it in a weird way. I don’t think he’s insufferable, I think he’s quite endearing. You’re just a bunch of miserable sods 😂 The character is really annoying in the follow up advert, so I think this confirms Asda have done it deliberately to generate chat about how bad they are, rather than the...

Re: Coronavirus - Strange times

I think we are still a long way away from any leading politician, of any party, who is seen as mainstream and not a back bench nutjob, not supporting restrictions and suggesting there should be fewer. We know that if anything Labour in Wales and the SNP actually support further measures, and Labour ...

Re: Coronavirus - Strange times

Pret skews middle class London based journalists pretty highly. See also the way every journalist spoke about Greggs sausage rolls as if they were from another planet, the last time they were in the news. Yes if they wanted to be less London centric they’d focus on Greggs rather than Pret, and prob...

Re: The Unofficial Sainsbury's Thread

M&S rail station stores have been closed until a couple of weeks ago. I’m guessing on the same basis, but I’d have thought in the last couple of months there’d be enough traffic to survive... are they M&S or a franchisee tho? They are most likely to be SSP franchises and will still have bee...

Re: TV Forum Watch News and Information Board

I’ve never quite understood why Loose Women seems so popular on TVF. I’m guessing it’s because with 4 members of the panel every day, it generates lots of rota combinations.

Re: TV Forum Watch News and Information Board

Every single thread remotely about BBC News has been like that for a while now, there is about 4 or 5 threads, a few posters treat them like chat rooms, where the discussion just keeps going in circles, predicting who will be presenting today, and how great it was to see presenter A and how they sho...
