    I hate it when you are involved in a conversation and you have no feckin idea whats going on e.g.

    - I dont watch Soap Operas like Coronation Street, Eastenders etc. (because I'm straight) yet people constantly yack on about them. I hate that!!!

    - I dont watch Reality TV or Talent Shows like Big Brother, X Factor etc. (because they are ****e) yet people constantly yack on about them. I hate that!!!

    - I dont watch British Comedy Sitcoms/Dramas like the Inbetweeners, Shameless etc. (because people hype them up too much and I refuse to bow to their promotional bullshit) yet people constantly yack on about them. I hate that!!!

    ****ers!!!

    The Wire.

    My mate says it's the best thing ever made for TV but I've never seen a single episode of it.

    Don't usually watch American TV so all the conversations about Lost etc. were lost on me.

    You should it's a good movie.

    I stopped watching Shameless years ago, got to a stage where it just wasn't funny anymore yet still hear people bang on about it. Hate people talking about that Only way is Essex. Never seen it but the concept just seems moronic

    The US blockbusters. Yeah Sopranos and West Wing were good but Heroes, Lost and a few others whose names escape me now were crap and everyone talked about it all effing day. What really makes me laugh is that a lot of the people doing it about those shows and the X Factor etc. are the self same people who moan when there's too muuch football and horse racing talk going on around them.

    The Sopranos is a good show and worth a watch but people bang on about it too much...

    Dexter is a good US show but again, nothing special <ok>

    I gotta admit, I watched some of the first series because people kept talking about it but thankfully the novelty wore off after about 3 or 4 episodes <ok>

    disturbing know you so obsessed that you remember everything i say

    just to clarify, i am straight

    I could explain context etc, and the difference between swearing at people and using swear words etc but you would have to be an adult for me to do that
    so no point

    how did you become a mod?

    oh and i am hard <ok>

    It's a Holywood movie interpreting history, they usually don't portray the truth. I guess she realised how successful it was and thought why not.

    i appreciate that. her argument was however that his role was not portrayed correctly and he was 'evil', yet history will remember him as something he wasnt due to people believing the movie
