I am convinced my life is all the richer for not watching a great deal of tv.

But I'm watching a movie from Mexico on SBS with my wife.

Unfortunately, our mods tend to live in their own version of the nanny state

Yer right, they're a bunch of nannies!

I love a bit of Jeremy Kyle - it makes me feel soiled but I'm glued to it when I'm back in the UK like a baby to the nipple.

Back to the subject of parenting... Dummies are for dummies.

Or people who have kids who just wont shut the fluck up without one shoved in their gob...

Thinking Gorgeous might benefit from one... But is 14 too late to start?
