My friend John has a history of introducing Simon and I into TV programs he discovers. While there are a number of shows we do share a love for – Peep Show, Family Guy and South Park – which neither of us can really take the credit for discovering, the new programs John presents to us are generally poor at best. Simon is a lot more tolerant than I am; even claiming to enjoy some of John’s choice of internet downloads. He’s probably just being polite. The American comedies, with their canned laughter, which I am forced to endure on my rare visits to his Marshfield home, drive me to the brink of insanity. I normally escape to his toilet until the rubbish has come to an end and I can force my choice of television upon his eyes and ears, which, to be fair, he probably hates.
This weekend, however, while visiting my house, John brought along a memory stick with yet another program he wanted to show us. It felt ominous. John’s latest piece of television was Moone Boy. I had seen this advertised on Sky a few times and hadn’t really taken much interest. I watch far too much TV than is healthy for any human being as it is, so avoided it for the good of my well-being.
I must admit, I was wrong. John had actually discovered something rather good. Dare I say it – a gem. Three episodes were packed onto his rather small memory stick (John always reminds me that size does not matter). Once we had watched all three, I went straight onto Sky’s On-Demand service to download some more. John and Simon left, leaving me with half a dozen more episodes to watch, which I spent most of Sunday afternoon and Monday evening doing. I’ve now seen them all and have the whole thing series linked so I never miss a future episode.
Bravo, John. You, sir are a genius.

Britain's Got Talent: Complaints rise to 10,000 for Diversity performance
More than 10,000 people have complained to media watchdog Ofcom about Saturday's Britain's Got Talent, which featured a Black Lives Matters-inspired routine by dance troupe Diversity.

Channel Four recently showed a documentary on people who go dogging. I only realised it had been on, when I noticed social media had gone into meltdown over the programme's content and the individuals who took part in it.
Being the inquisitive type, I downloaded the documentary - which had been given the rather witty name,... - Uproar In A Bed
I'm a little late to the party with this blog post, considering it is about a bit of telly from last week.
The TV show I am referring to is Four in a Bed. If you have never seen this programme before, you are missing out.
The gist of it involves four sets of bed and breakfast... - Eva Braun’s Boys
With all these British comedies being withdrawn from television schedules and streaming services, due to historical instances of racism, I am hoping that the BBC will shortly be removing Mrs. Brown's Boys.
As far as I am aware, the series has never been accused of being racially offensive. I just want it gone because it's shit.

I am sure that everyone knows the legend of Robin Hood - whether it be Prince of Thieves, the Walt Disney adaptation, or Men in Tights.
It therefore needs no introduction to the fact that he is said to have taken from the rich to give to the poor.

About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
