Guest Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Evening all!! Just thought I would apologise to those who are thinking "where has mummyspud gone?" (and to those who aren't thinking that I apologise!!) I have recently bought 24, season 5!!! I dont know if any of you are fans or know the name Jack Bauer, but I am addicted!! This happens to me every time I buy the box set of the next season! I cannot leave it alone until I have watched it all! I realised that there are those of you who feel this way about Desperate Housewives or something (sorry I dont watch any of them, so I dont know the names) but for me its 24!!! I warn you all now - extravision have season 6 on special offer as well and I will be purchasing this next week!! You might see me at the weekend, you might not, but right now I have to go and see if Jack is successful in catching the terrorists who were responsible for trying to expose half of L.A. to the deadly Sentox Nerve Gas, especially as CTU has now been absorbed by homeland security and also find out how high up in the White House it goes!!!!! :rolleyes: :unsure: :wacko: Just wondered are there any other addicts out there and if so what is it and how irratable do you get when you cant get watching it (Obviously I am talking about TV!!) I'm not addicted, honest!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I'm with you on 24 Bought sky plus especially for it and was lost to everyone - too many late nights and glasses of wine ( although actually preferred getting the DVD's cos you could watch 5 or 6 in a row rather than just 2 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Oh yea - a fellow ...no 2 fellow 24 fans!!! I love it - want a phone with a CTU ringtone! Right need to get off here before I tell you what happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alison Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 well until it finished a couple of weeks ago it was Gilmore girls (who? I hear you ask) it was on early mornings on e4 and my mum got me watching it and I was hooked on the silly banter between the characters the story line is second to the sarcasm and bizarre characters. before that it was grey's anatomy, Ghost whisper and Charmed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMaz Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Since we don't have a tv at present I am happily addiction-free when it comes to TV! However we can still access iPlayer on our tv when our broadband is quick enough so we tend to watch what we want to when we want to. So I'm able to keep up with some 'must sees' including Dragon's Den, but I can see that Walk on the Wild Side is fast gaining cult status in our house. Alan! Alan! Al!

Upsy Daisy Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'm in the no real addiction group too. Apart from FSF that is! We did the no tv thing for a few months last year and I went cold turkey. It was the best thing we ever did and I'm determined not to get hooked on anything until I've finished my Foundation Degree.

Panders Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I love walk on the wild side. I saw a pilot episode months ago - so funny, I'm glad they have turned it into a series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 for me its NCIS.. but always wait until DVD is out as I really get irritated with the constant adverts!! and more recently Torchwood...

Inge (and still need to catch those mice on FB ) I record everything I want to watch into planner (Sky +), then I can fast forward all the annoying ads. I like: Dragons Den The Guardian The Mentalist Come Dine with me The Wright Stuff and now of course X FACTOR (1st episode, a male primary school teacher who in Simons words had "The best first audition he's seen in any of the series so far". So, maybe one more male lost from the Early Years profession) Taping everything means I can watch at my leasure, I also delete if too many are recorded for me to 'catch up' with. My other addictions are of course FSF and just recently, Texas Hold-um Poker (via Facebook) Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmajess Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 For me, it was The Wire, but now we've finished all 5 series...s, and now Mad Men. Have just finished the first series and my husband went on Amazon to buy the second and its Soooooo expensive, we're going to wait till it comes down in price. (Unless anyone has it and would like to lend it out - I'll pay p & p!!!) Peggy - was he a primary school teacher on X Factor? He was amazing, wasn't he. I don't usually watch it, but now I'm going to HAVE to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublinbay Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 X-factor will be my addiction for the next few weeks. I'm also waiting for Strictly to return. NCIS and the original CSI do it for me too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Aah, Mousehunt! I've always found it totally pointless, but I just can't stop clicking obsessively on that stupid horn. >.< Where are you? I spent 2 months without success trying to get the back pages of Plankrun's journal in Digby, and I've spent several weeks without success trying to catch a Hydra mouse in the Lagoon. =-P And everyone else must have no idea what I'm talking about and think I'm nuts.

Alison Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) face book and fsf too, forgot to mention them. it's the stupid applications and games, I think its the mindless escape from it all that is the attraction, spending ages on FB rather than worrying about the real world and all its paperwork and bills. I think these little addictions are a healthy distraction to keep us sane Edited August 25, 2009 by Alison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Walk on the Wild Side is fast gaining cult status in our house here too-that koala with Rolf Harris' voice 'Can you tell what I am yet?' had me in stitches but we had to explain 'Paint with Rolf' to the kids. I'm addicted to routines coffee,switch on pc, check e-mail, check BBC news, check web site vistors, check FSF same chair in the staffroom at lunch, same cup and er......Neighbours really really sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know that there are some on this forum who have an addiction to farmtown and farmville on FB, but I wont be mentioning who they are, they may need some therapy before they can admit to it!!
