This whole thread would sit nicely in the "Rant" thread currently running.
I'm constantly irked by the rolling cookery programmes offering an endless opportunity to observe so called celebrities telling me how to make my dinner whilst showing me how lifestyle is pale and uninteresting measured against their beautifully designed homes, cosmopolitan friends and educated taste.

However, my wife likes them.

This is a source of some disagreement as her enjoyment of such twaddle now extends to "Come Dine With Me". A show about dim-witted dullards who can't cook, no nothing about entertaining guests and seem to have strange personality quirks, making them the worst possible people to have over for dinner!!
I don't know how I keep my foot out of the TV!!!
