    I feel for you, Mig, but what exactly do you need to learn - not to switch TV on? They don't need a TV. Mine goes into Victor Meldrew mode the minute he starts driving the car. Every other motorist is an idiot. Their only pleasure lies on being miserable.

    If we didn't have the tv on that means I would have to talk to him more often than saying " it's on the table",I must learn not to put contentious program's on like watchdog ,the news ,soaps basically anything ,I have over the years learnt how to tune him out but sometimes something's sneak through.

    It's a bloke thing. Maybe it's time for a second telly so you can watch what you want in peace and quiet and he can watch and rant in another room. I was chatting to a friend yesterday about our respective moaners, mine has hit the age where he now routinely grumbles at the weatherpeople. I've given up saying it's not their fault. :roll: Mind you, there is a comeback you could employ: wait until he's watching something he loves and you talk all the way through it. :wink: DD

    And there was me thinking I was the only one. Having a Victor meldrew myself. Doesn't drive you mad. I tend to go into auto mode and nod at the right moments (I hope)

    So what's the difference between a bloke having a good whinge at the tellybox (Guilty) and a woman using a forum to moan about their man moaning?

    Isn't it obvious? Without the moaning men, we wouldn't be moaning :lol:

    [quoteOf course you would, you'd be moaning about something the men did or didn't do ;-)[/quote]

    If they'd just shut up and do as they were told, there wouldn't be a problem! :o:lol:

    Strewth. :shock: Mig, you have my unbounded sympathy (I've never watched BGT with or without an imaginary buzzer) but surely some things are beyond the pale. DD
