There’s rarely a day that goes by that something happens and one of a crowd of three or four doesn’t bemoan how awful it is or make some overdramatic comment.

I don’t generally have a problem with the Forum, but my enthusiasm for reading does get sapped by the doom and gloom that some members love to spout at every possible moment.

That's partially why I post a lot of the left field threads- like unused idents celebration, the closedown thread a while back, and stuff like that. I feel that those threads make the forum more fun and less monotonous. I have no problem with anyone on the forum, those who run it, those who use it, but some of us are misers.

Making the BBC displaying their graphics on Clive Myrie's forehead, would be fun but impractical, which is a shame.

This election went on for far too long, which I have to wonder make things a little bit worse for the broadcasters. In terms of pres, I think it has to be the worse that many have thrown out, heck STV have been down right lazy, with not a single promo anywhere for anything to do with this election. Did Brexit and co zap all the creative juices out of people? or has people become demoralised by the cuts made within TV? BBC election promo, just felt bland and lazy. While some of the news channels rather have given up with UK. It's like many of the pres departments have just ran out of steam.

It still my opinion that overall across the broad none of the election packages were anything to write home about, especial compared to the other presentation that has appeared, doesn't mean its less valid but its clear its not a very popular opinion either.

What is a more popular opinion is I need to visit Specsavers.
