doesn't anyone watch on the PVR. I record (inc radio) and time shift. Skip 2 minutes (or twice) and you miss most of the ads. And even live, I pause and go and do things, especially if the phone rings. When ads (inc BBC promo) come on, I can skip.

Rarely do I need to hit mute, or as my Canadian cousin calls it, the Blab Button. Unless waiting for a good prog to start.

Has anyone noticed that programme makers have long ignored the ruling about jump-cut sequences and epilepsy? I am not a sufferer. AND I DON'T SUFFER THE PROGRAMMES NEITHER! Irritating so say the least. Fast forward makes them worse!

I hate it at the end of a programme when, one is enjoying the accompanying music and looking at the credits to see who was in it when they shrink the screen down and talk about programmes to come.
Can't they wait until the credits finish? Blooming annoying.

Ricky Gervais in The Office was superb but I absolutely can't stand him in anything else. And I simply can't watch Graham Norton. In fact, I can hardly desist from inserting an expletive between the two parts of his name whenever I have to say it. If he's on I have to leave the room.

Many TV soaps characters appear to be quite confident actors. However a growing number seem to have developed an infuriating habit, namely in particular that of not being able to act out their scene until they have posed with arms folded across their chest first. Yes, that does irritate me!.

Hi Sen

T could not agree with you more. We like to see the cedits. especially the cast of actors because we both like to know the names of familiar faces and the credits have solved many an argument between us.

At our age we are not good at multi tasking which is what this makes us try to do.

regards

Mike

Wholeheartedly agree with Steve about Ricky Gervais and Graham Norton, two most irritating gentlemen.

Hello there Mike! What's so frustrating is not being able to listen to the music at the end, especially if it's something we love.
We're the same (old folk) very bad at remembering actors' names.
And sometimes, if a drama has been very moving, one wants to spend a few seconds reflecting, not hearing a voice-over and seeing the screen shrink.

Hi Sen - ( hope you don't mind)

Yes I agree about us getting older and some things like this don't help.

We don't like Ricky Gervaise but Graham Norton we liked him in Father Ted. Don't like his chat show and don't watch Eurovision Song contest'

Another guy we don't like much is Nick Hewer on Countdown. We love the program but we can't stand his obsequious patronisg attitude

Regards Mike

It may be that there aren't really any quantities which are constant in time in the universe. The quantity of matter is not constant, because matter can be created or destroyed. But we might say that the energy of the universe would be constant, because when you create matter, you need to use energy. And in a sense the energy of the universe is constant; it is a constant whose value is zero. The positive energy of the matter is exactly balanced by the negative energy of the gravitational field. So the universe can start off with zero energy and still create matter.

[ ARE YOU ANNOYED?] If so you are being annoyed by steven hawking verbatim.

In simple terms, if you dig a hole the volume of the stuff you remove from the hole equals the volume of the hole.

As Minkowki geometrically demonstrates there can be more time than space in spacetime, an imbalance can occur that leads to a overall phase shift.
Just as water can go from a plasma to steam to liquid to ice, a phase change of the universe tends toward entropy and a lower energy state.

[STILL ANNOYED?] if so I already know I can be annoying.

I think annoyance is a good thing like one of our senses.

I found Rowan Atkinson quite irritating as Mr. Bean but I can tolerate him as Maigret.

Much preferred Michael Gambon but I can cope with RA in that role.

A couple of cringe-worthy to me.

Wesley Crusher/Wil Wheaton - Star Trek Next Generation.
Gail of several surnames/Helen Worth - Coronation street.
