The off topic thread #2

You are going to miss plotlines amongst other things if you do that. Fair enough if you are watching sport, light entertainment etc though

Am I? I watch the screen, I only look down every now and then for ironing etc. I never feel lost while watching.

Yeah if what you do isn't overly capturing your attention you can watch and not miss anything. Football manager and bigfooty though can be quite enthralling at times though

BF isn't too tough to multitask with, I touch type quite well so usually am fully engaged with whatever show I'm watching while dismantling some poor fool's argument.

The UK number ones of the 90's

Just watched a Billboard one WR

Mariah Carey, Toni Braxton and Boys II Men dominated the 90s

I'll respond to this tonight while watching The Sopranos.

You must have some super-human qualities then, which I always suspected. Why I never correlated that SM stood for superman is beyond me

That's not a good thing right!

I was going to post an 80's one to show how popular music declined - but quite frankly it wasn't much better

Sh*t i never realised that until now too... Mind blown!

SM stands for so many things it seems to work in numerous contexts. Thanks for adding another one to the list.

That's not to say I don't sometimes tune out from what I'm watching by playing on my phone or something, but that'll usually be deliberate.

told you it was an awful decade

 

[WealstoneRaider]

80's had good music trust me on this. But for every good tune on those lists there's an absolute horrendous one, so I kind of didn't want to defeat my own argument

 

[Quivorir]

I multi task while watching TV. Get my ironing done, cook dinner, talk s**t on BF, etc.

Are you a woman?

 

[SM]

Are you a woman?

No, I'm just a competent adult. Try it sometime.

 

[Loonerty]

No, I'm just a competent adult. Try it sometime.

Sounds too difficult.

Nice.

I thought Last Kiss by Pearl Jam hit number one in 1999 for example

It didn't

Must've only been in Australia/other countries

Never.

 

[SM]

Nah cheeky download.

 

[SM]

Never.

Maybe someday when you have kids.

Never!

Complete opposite the Ethernet on mine is busted. Registry errors galore. Sucks as the Ethernet speed is brilliant.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Never.

Maybe someday when you have Foxtel.
