mj Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 and shortland street, home and away ... all of those tediously boring tv shows that all seem to have the same storyline (just different accents) now it would be ok if these shows were on once a week, BUT EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK AND Edit Billaney- Swearing removed RERUNS!!! I lived in aussie for a while and was totally over home and away/neighbours - then saw shortland street and thought "just as bad but with kiwi accents" and now coro st which is really making me dislike the english accent (one I have always been a fan of) anyway bringing this rant to an end ... (help me out guys ) ... :-? (if only rugby/cricket was on every day of the week then things would be even :bounce: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_W Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Corro is great :lol: sit back with my Nan and a G&T...accept In OZ they where a couple of weeks ahead, so have to watch repeats this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southerrrngirrl Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 :roll: Come on now, Home & Away is 100 times better than Shortland Street. At least they have hot people on H&A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southerrrngirrl Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 But you know, I would also like to see some LIVE cricket on FREE tv too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew_W Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 But you know, I would also like to see some LIVE cricket on FREE tv too. WTF? we need to cut that teams funding and give it all to Team New Zealand. AC in NZ will bring WAY more money to the country than those useless cricketers...and ETNZ is a little less embarrassing to watch. I hate sailing BTW just not as much as I hate black caps. BTW I am aware that we LOST the AC...but we did get beaten by KIWI's...Kiwis that would be sailing for us if we could afford them. :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mj Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 <3 bully what do you mean cut funding to the blackcaps ?? seriously - costs us nothing compared to the once every 3-4 years teamnz who LOST at the cost of multiple millions to us blackcaps are on the up and at least we get to see them many times a year [edit] anyway back onto the soaps and how many of us have to endure them due to partners/flatmates (point I was gong for) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mj Posted January 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 lolol flatmate is 43 (english lass hence the love of coro st) .. small inner city apartment and I'm not one to hermit away in my bedroom .. we actually joke about it, she is like "Guess what is on tonight!" (I'm all for compromise when flatting so give and take) I just didn't realize until recently how many of these shows there are and how often they run as for the cricket we were ranked 3rd in the world in the one day version last year and had a chance to be second - don't get me wrong I'm a huge fan of teamNZ just 4 years in between drinks is a long haul I love almost all NZ sport, just wish there was more of it (and less of the soaps lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I am not forced to watch soaps or sport (unless you count endless reruns of Top Gear) but I do have to listen to the National radio station when Grant is at home. Thank goodness he often isn't! :lol: When he is home we are usually both working in the same room so have to compromise who listens/watches what. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whetu Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 My mother seems to think Coro Street is more real than real life. She often starts off by telling me something someone's been doing - "Did you know X is having an affair with Y but he doesn't know that she's actually his daughter by Z who died in a tragic accident with a faulty sewing machine?" And it takes a while for me to realize that this is something that's happened on the TV and it's not actually real people. But they are real to my Mum. :roll: Meanwhile something genuinely interesting is happening with my real family and Mum knows about it but doesn't think it's important enough to mention!

shadowfax Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 you've got to wonder if some people think they are in a soap & thats why that act like Edit- Billaney , Just not nice or if its just the way they are???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
