Yeah, we have/have had (I'm not sure what is current) Pop Idol, X Factor, "reality" things like Big Brother, then there's The Apprentice, and so it goes on... One way or other, there is far more TV output that I have no time for whatsoever than there are programs I might enjoy.

Those shows are terrible. But I think some of the blame is nzs because we started some of these kinds of shows.
The very first one called Popstars. When the spice girls were in, tv executives decided to film auditioning for a made up girl band which named themselves True Bliss.
Another was a precursor to Big Brother called flatmates. Filming people flatting.
At first it was interesting but then the novelty wears off. Very quickly. Oh and survivor? We had something called Treasure Island.
Then americans took these ideas or was it the british...and turned them all funny cos they saw they could make money from them. They were originally ok shows, but now you get shows that ruthlessly exploit peoples lives.

LOL beyond tomorrow. I remember that show. Whatever happen to the flying cars that were supposed to appear by the year 2000? heh
I am with you, I used to watch TV but I do not anymore and I do not miss it. From a bible perspective it says:
"I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me." Pslams 101:3
I believe it just opens the door for Satan to implant his ideas in your mind. Another verse that comes to mind,
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2 Cor 10:5
God Bless,

What, no toad in the hole?
Fish and chips is more something you get from a shop.
I had to look Lamingtons up - Wikipedia seems to suggest Australian.
Yes but there is a very british way of doing fish and chips. With mushy peas I think and plenty of lard.
Or kippers.
I have no idea what toad in the hole is..it doesnt sound very appetising!
Maybe I was thinking Chelsea buns. Australians like to think they have everything. Eg pavlova, which is a nz creation.
