I'm a fan of the BBT but I reckon you gotta get in at the start to appreciate the characters.

Yeah I'd agree that all those shows are sh!t and maybe add that couples one with David Spade into the mix as well. Scrubs is quite annoying also more so in that it used to be good when it kicked off.

The one thing i'll give the BBT credit for is the guy who plays the lead geek, Sheldon I think it is, really great acting to be able to portray someone who has some form of high-functioning autism/ausbergers with all the unusual characterisations, ocd ticks, and emotional detachment that it entails. Very impressive role. It's just a shame about the rest of the show.

The poxy weather. Absolutely bucketing down for over an hour now and no sign of it stopping. Have to walk to the car which is about 10 minutes away now. The security guard better be ready there to let me out!

A few months ago I posted my annoyance at the over-using of the word "random" when describing virtually anything; "Aww, we had suuuuch a random night out. We got locked in my house and then went we to Copper's." Hmmm, Copper's instead of Dicey's is hardly 'random'.

But random has been overtaken now by "awkward", especially when it comes to liking FB pages. It is just so retarded. Lads, it was funny the first time, like "That awkward distance when you dont kno if u should hold the door or not..." but now everything is f%~king awkward...

"The awkward moment when Steve realised he had a big head....." or "The awkward moment when Rachel high-fived the foreigner" etc - No, I'm not "liking these pages"

Now the recent flooding has been been hit by awkwardness......."The awkward Winter when Dublin prepares for the Snow but God sends the flood instead" ------- awkward?

I am totally with the shagger on this one. Although I could never watch it for more than 3 minutes. Even back in the 80s when there was a lot less choice, it was still a loada meballix.

You're both wrong lads, seriously no Murder She Wrote and there'd be no Dexter. Think about it she tours the US and wherever she turns up people start dying in murderous circumstances and don't get me started on the Cabbot Cove Sherrif's department Richie Cunningham's dad has a lot of shoddy police work to answer for...

Dalayed flood damage to a car :(

The AA warned yesterday that it can take 2-3 days for water damage to a starter motor etc to be noticed. Don't drive the car often but was out on Monday night, was careful to try and not drive through any big pools of water....Tried to start it last night and it sounds like the starter motor is fooked :(

Need to call the AA for a diagnosis :|
