Are you really holding that Mockney up as a 'hard man'. Please tell me you were joking?

I'm hazarding a guess that it's to do with a TV show called "Strictly Come Dancing" which I understand had it's final in the UK last night, and that he disagrees with the result.

If you aren't familiar with the show - and neither am I - it's a dancing competition for washed-up Z list "celebrities" broadcast in the Saturday night "Prime-time" slot. And probably sponsored by the brewing and distilling companies to drive people out of their homes rather than have to watch it. Wink | ;)

Ah, that explains Pompeys comment as well.

I understand we have something similar over here. Luckily the only TV I'm watching is cartoons with the kids, and an odd movie every now and then from Netflix.
Which I watch alone since I don't watch anything together with my wife. She only watches RomComs or political talkshows. Dead | X|

If you aren't familiar with it then you won't know that it has the biggest audience for any TV show in Britain all year and is amongst the most successful franchises ever with a version showing in over 40 countries. As a BBC show, of course, it has no sponsors!

Garbage is garbage, regardless of how many fans it has: One Direction, Justin Bieber, Jedwood, iWatch, ...

Ok so that is commentary on the British audience. You people will watch any garbage!

Injustice! The evils of 'first past the post' electoral systems. The Instagram culture! The collapse of all that is best and proper and right! And that's just for starters!

Congratulating oneself on one's mental health is the first thing that psychiatrists look for in potential ~~victims~~ patients!

I use it a lot of times. I spend some bucks. Don't forget that it is hard to manage this without money.

I don't know what CCC means.
Anyway I would do the same for CP (something lower amount because of advertising here) if I would find the donate section.

Couldn't think of a better thing to spend my money on at this time of year. I'm sure my wife and kids will understand that I've donated to Wiki and it's owner Jimmy Wales(net worth $1m ).

A million dollars wouldn't buy you a rather ordinary town house in London these days. Dollar millionaires are ten a penny ... well, not literally, obviously!
