Could you live without TV?
I dont own one and bloke I work with always says;
"did you see so and so last night"
and I always reply no but never actually say why, then on friday he said;
"you always say fooking no, do you ever watch anything?"
So I told him I dont own one which is why I've never seen anything he's on about, then he said;
"jesus, thats a bit sad, I couldnt live without the telly"
I thought it sounded a bit sad that he couldnt live without it, so which is sadder? not having one, or not being able to live without it?

I don't watch as much TV anymore as I used to - I mean I have it on now, but I'm only half watching it as I am doing stuff on the PC.... Just on in the backround really....
Not sure I could live without one at all tho.... Like the internet, it's not ESSENTIAL to life, but without it, you'd get pretty fucking bored! I couldn't imagine life without the internet now and can barely remember life before it, and we've only had that for 10years - I've had TV all my life, so I DON'T KNOW life without it!

Thing is, when I lived at home all I used to do was slob in front of the TV and watch any old crap just for the sake of watching it.
Now I've got my own gaff, I never got round to buying one, read plenty of books, listen to music ALOT of the time and invested money heavily in my Hi-Fi (probably more than a good plasma would of cost anyway )
and spend time on the net, more or less fills my time so I dont really need one, I've got enough excuses to not work on the car as it is without a goggle box

I could live with out one, I dont watch much anyway but I do quite enjoy it a bit.
Out of interest how do you get on with the TV licence?

I don't watch much TV at all. To many other thing to do.
The wife watches it all the time and it really annoys me.
If I had to get rid of the TV she would probably go to!!
HMM Anyone want a telly?

Very rarely watch TV now.... only for the sport and top gear really, maybe the odd film now and then.
Spend most my spare time at home on the computer now.
Saying that, the TV comes in handy for the PS2 sessions

I don't watch much TV, prefer to have music on. Saying that, it is nice to have friends round and part of the evening be sat around in front of a DVD. Also there are a few shows I like to watch now and again.
Could I live without it? Probably yes. Any reason to? Probably not

I stay on my own and very rarely switch the TV on TBH but I dont really spend a lot of time in the house apart from sleeping 
Remember last year, 2 weeks after nat day I tried to turn the thing on and after ten min or so checking wires I realised I hadnt plugged it back in since the friday before nat day
