Compulsively having to change the channel when a soap theme tune comes on

[Skweeky]

Does anyone else do this? :unsure:

I really hate soaps and I just can't even have the things on in the background. I always feel like they might be sending out special waves that steal my (already diminised) brain capacity :fear:

Every time Eastenders or Hollyoaks or one of the other horrors come in, I frantically jump up trying to locate the remote, thus injuring my already injured pelvis even further.

Do you think I can claim compensation for this?:unsure:

[Squeamous]

I thought I was the only one! Those bastards on C4 only put The Simpos on before Hollyoaks to try to catch us out :fear:

[Agrajag]

"Simpos", "Simpos" ... are you on something.

[Squeamous]

I'm drinking cola

Exactly! You think you've got time to get some tea and a biscuit and before you know it that annoying tune is playing in the background :angry:

Does that normally have the effect of making you post like some kind of Australian.

"The Simpos" indeed.

It's a term of endearment, I wouldn't expect you to understand. Australian indeed :snooty:.

Skweeks, I really don't understand soaps. Often my OH accuses me of watching them, when actually they've just come on while I was having a think about something and I haven't realised :fist:. I've been thinking about experimenting with doing away with TV but I don't want to become a smug boring book reading hairy new age twat :cry:.

[Skweeky]

Can't do away with the telly! :cry:

you'd miss brilliant tv like the X-factor audition. Always good for a bit of Schadefreude

That's one of them things I can understand other people liking, but leave me cold :(. What about Frost? Everone likes a bit of Frost!

[Agrajag]

It's a loophole.
