[05:14] yep [05:15] <- is not a morning person [05:19] same /me blames partner [05:21] at least you get to hear the chirping birds going about their mornings. noisy little sods [05:22] zxmpi: and get to see BBC News [05:25] haven't had a tv in yonks. i do listen to bbc news podcast once a day though. plus an irish one. [05:29] i kept waiting after the switchover to digital tv when the analog signal was killed for a decent tv and i'm still waiting :-) [05:30] ah here i think its some sattelite thing on the roof but not sure [05:34] used to be so simple when all you needed on top of the tv was some bunny ears :-) [10:22] https://i.imgur.com/S09NSQB.jpeg [10:34] bunny ears for the 21st century. i don't know i'm reassured or disappointed they still exist at all https://powercity.ie/product/073465 [10:35] i rarely watch regular TV at home, mostly watch Twitch or Youtube or listen to webradio or Linux podcasts [10:35] tv is.. obsolete. it used to be everyone tuned in, now it's a shock to find someone was watching same thing as you [10:36] zxmpi: when its not Eurovision or Soccer :p or maybe you call it Fotball [10:36] Football* [10:37] not a sportsball person. now if they made robotwars a regular thing maybe :-) [10:37] zxmpi: heh same here [10:37] used to watch some Robot Wars on Swedish TV4 back in the days, they even had a Robo War flash game [10:40] also used to like scrapyard wars and the great egg race.

[10:46] ah alright [10:47] same here in ireland. working class had large meal in middle of day for energy for manual labour. then tea after work as getting home meal. [11:10] quite regional as well [11:10] very much so [11:11] we use Tea/dinner interchangeably here (north Manchester) [11:13] but no one understands fluent mancunian so no one noticed :-P [11:38] true, it's like a secret code [12:07] i'm just suprised the british didn't use glaswegian code talkers during wwii :-P [19:53] evenings [20:30] o/
