Birthday Party - The Second Coming

[wiseheart]

As you all know by now, LJ has decided to crash our birthday party - the original post is no longer visible. But some of us still had most of the comments in our inbox and decided to reconstruct the original party as well as we can, because we had great fun and the discussions were wonderful.

However, to avoid the same mishap occurring to us, we've decided to open up a second entry for further comments while working on rebuilding the original. We still have two days left, and we won't allow LJ to crash our party!

The original entry had 1328 comments, on 6 pages. The reconstructed party has now 500+ (all reposted within one day and a few new ones added), having reached Page 7 already.

Let's see what else can we come up with. New guests are welcome to share the fun. :)

The first series was on Channel 5 - there may be repeats on one of their channels at some point...

Thank you! I shall have to keep my eye out. One of the drawbacks to not watching live TV is that you end up not knowing what is on, and therefore missing things that you might have liked. On the other hand it also means that you generally don't watch a lot of rubbish just because it is on, so I suppose on average it works out in my favour.

*nods* I end up having it on in the background a lot (recently silence has been an issue for me due to depression), as I don't generally get drawn into it as much as radio/audio books, so it is good when I want to focus on something else... ;)

We only had the telly on when we were actually watching something when I was little and to this day I find it hard not to watch if it is on. So I try to turn it off if what is showing is not something I actively want to watch. Somehow I find the radio easier to ignore; I can filter out the sound if I am concentrating on something pleasant like reading or chatting with friends through LJ.
