News and more

[Taali]

Hi everyone 

Anyone who has read my posts before will probably know that I have a serious television addiction (I blame recent surgery)

I watch loads of news broadcasts which I hope keeps me on top of current affairs, good and bad.

BUT I have to say that I'm really really really sick of the back forthing spewing out of budget squabbling. 

Hey pollies, just get on with your day jobs and get off my TV!

I'm not making any political comments here, just want to find some balance. 

Interested in how others feel. 

Switching to QI & WILTY reruns for a while .

@Taali there's a reason I don't watch TV at all or go on social media much cos I can't stand all the politics and depressing news stories. I get annoyed when the news comes on the radio but I just zone out of it. 

Yes I'm aware there's alot of bad things going on in the world but there's also good things that don't get mentioned cos they don't get the same attention as the bad stuff which is quite sad really.

Hi @MissGremlin 

So true about never ending focus on bad news reporting. 

Drains our souls.

Turn off. I hear you say...

Should do,  NO! Will do.

There. Done (for now)

Anyone else a fan of QI or WILTY?

@Taali  How are you? How is your recovery from surgery going? I really hope it is going well and you are fully on the mend. 

I personally avoid all news as it affects me. The news is always very negative and when not mentally well for me it really drags me right down and causes worse symptoms. Especially at the moment. 

sending you a lot of healing and a very quick recovery.

@Taali  I’ve never heard of them. If you want to (no pressure) what are they?

They're both British quiz shows.

Very funny. To me anyway. BTW I'm not British.. 

Quite Interesting { QI  }

Originally hosted by Stephen Fry. 

Would I Lie To You  { WILTY }

Hosted by  Rob Dryden

Really naughty and funny even if you don't quite get some of the very British references ✨️ 

@Cuddlebear @MissGremlin 

If you check either out let me know what you think.

@Taali I've seen some of would I lie to you ☺️.

@Cuddlebear 

Totally get how news can be a real downer, I sometimes just shake my head in amazement at how crazy the world is

Would be laughable if it wasn't real.

Loony, scary powerful people. 

And I'm the one in therapy????

My surgery recovery is going to plan (according to the doctor), I'm a bit impatient though.

Driving short distances, so really glad of having some independence. 

How're things for you?

Be gentle friend ✨️ remember you can always find support or even just an outlet here.

Love Taali ❤️ @Cuddlebear @MissGremlin @

@Taali  Oh dear. I actually know both shows! They are both comfort shoes and I like the laughs even though I’m not British either! 

QI is awesome and when Stephen retired from the show I was like oh no who’s gonna fill those shoes! Then Sandi was given the host role and I really really love her too. I also like the regulars they have on! 

Would I Lie to You is so funny too and such a clever format as well. Rob is very naughty and funny 🤣
