I have a computer next to the TV.
No television in the home?

My TV screen is still bigger.
me too to watch 2 games of footy at once
I’ve listened to a couple, Barrenjoey Rd and The teachers pet. Both excellent.There are lots of good true crime podcasts, you should add a third medium to your collectionI listen to a few but only one episode at a time.
I have not had a television in the house for well over five years. If I watch something I just watch on my laptop. If I put something on for the kids they watch off a monitor (24 inch I think).
I don't like televisions because they take up so much space and attention for so little utility (for me). The same goes for beds, such a waste of space. I haven't watched FTA channels asides from football finals for a decade or more. TV sucks!

Bigfooty is interactive communication though.....Kind of hard to have an active dialogue with the telly.....Though I've seen some do so when the footy's on.
We have moved a tv out of the dining area; if I want to watch breakfast tv I just think I will stream it on my phone
Surly you wont need to watch breakfast tv

you had me worried there for a minute
Regardless it’s a habit to see the 7.30am visual news update

Funny you say that, the Boomers in my family were discussing TV licenses yesterday and I was reading up on them. Good idea in theory as it would have boosted the ABC's funding, but fairly stupid making people pay the government for TV. It also means that there was no such thing as FTA until 1974 when the licenses were abolished by the Whitlam Government

In Britain they pay a tax on bedrooms apparently. Like the more bedrooms your house has you gotta cough up

As a kid in the UK I can remember mum running upstairs to turn off my little black and white tv and hide it in the cupboard for an hr
Hadn't paid a licence for the second tv.
Tv detector man would drive around the streets.....detecting tvs

Well I was about seven years old so my interest in why was far inferior to nearly everything else in my life at the time
I'd say it would've been a fine shell
She even used to put a blanket over the tv in the cupboard like it emitted some alien space signal
Id say they only detected them when they were on tho.
Dunno if they still charge them for a licence over there???

I read in Ukraine you don't pay property tax on apartments unless they are more than 60sqm (120sqm for standalone dwellings). If an apartment is well designed you could get one within that size with three rooms (2 bedrooms).

Thats a good idea. I didnt have to pay stamp duty tho as its my first property saved like 20k.

They do - its how the BBC is funded. Actually makes ok sense when you think about it.
