Col1874 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Please get that utter shit off our Tv's. Our wifes, girlfriend, partners or whatever all seem to watch it and make us have to suffer it in the background - I get an absolute anger rage whenever I hear "I'VE GOT A TEEEEXT" And that Scottish narrator.... Please stop speaking. I could rant all night about it, I'd rather watch that Welsh TV channel or Bangla TV than have that irritating shit in the background. Rant over, for now.

¼½¾ Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 My wife decided to watch it, after the demise of her beloved Big Brother. Thankfully, like she did with Big Brother, she has the decency to record it and watch it when I'm not around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pans Jambo Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) Ive went complete Stalin and refused to have Love Island anywhere near my TV when I’m at home. Mrs PJ records it & lucky for her, I’m working in England 2-3 days a week just now so she watches it when I’m not home. Effin hate love effin island and all those attention seeking “look at me, fake tan, I do sit-ups” morons that are in it.

Dagger Is Back Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Sat on the PC watching Stan and Ollie with the headphones on and my back to the TV which wife and daughter are glued to. Married my Mrs 30 years ago this year. Id always thought she was reasonably intelligent and above such shit. Clearly not. I’m actually more disappointed in her than I am a bunch of poorly educated, selfish, arrogant wannabes My understanding and sympathies lie with the OP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to watch it to rage about it, I do other stuff whilst it's on, but you can't avoid the sound of I'VE GOT A TEEEEEXT, even if you're outside hoovering the car with music blaring whilst the kids are shouting and screaming about who gets the last fruit shoot in the fridge & a police helicopter hovering above chasing a prick on a loud dirt bike all at the same time, for example.

AlphonseCapone Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I know it's cool on these sorta threads to claim you don't know what or who something or someone is, and I've obviously heard of love Island but I honestly don't know anything about the premise. In my head it's a bunch of folk trying to shag on an island? How do you win, shag the most folk? It's the sorta show I'd have been raging at 5 years ago but what's the point, just ignore it. If folk enjoy it fair enough, a show by simpletons, for simpletons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graygo Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 The op is right about the "I'VE GOT A TEXT" screaming, the other thing I hate is the amount of times they say the word "like" in a sentence, it's almost like a contest to see who can say it the most like. I don't watch it but and the wife thinks she's doing me a favour by watching it on her laptop but that's worse. I get the annoying chat but don't get the dolly birds to ogle at.
