You would think that with the 297 channels America broadcasts, they could carry the 3 channels Europe has. (I love it when Europeans complain about American tv channels…..)who complaints? :o :D
yeah, yeah, UK is the worst!

297 channels of shite….50 of which carry shows made ten years ago by one of the three "european channels".
"Oh, my name is Vansmack and my head is up my bum"
I'm sorry, do you broadcast every football match on Saturday and Sunday? Not even locally? I couldn't even imagine…
did I ever get around to thanking you for Big Brother and Who wants to be a millionaire? I always meant to….
"Oh, my name is Markie and my head is my bum 'cause everytime I open my mouth shite comes out"
you can also thank us for "three's company" "men behaving badly" "queer as folk" and "the Simpsons"
..you're welcome! :p
..you're welcome! :p
football is broadcast. You have to pay for it, in a similar way you have to pay for runny-catchy and runny -throwey.
So no difference then? you need satellite or cable to receive it. Just like America. Funny that, eh?
As for programming, the shows you namecheck might be the low brow entertainment you like, why not check out inspector morse or a period drama like red dwarf.
And just returning mine own insult is a very week retort, you will never make a heckler.
Now go away and pretend to be British some more.

"Men behaving badly" bombed over here as will the American version of "Coupling" - which raises a good point - why does Britian show American versions of TV shows ("Friends") but America insist on remaking British shows?
America is a larger market, is the short answer.
America is deemed cool in Britain…. What could be cooler than friends or the friends lifestyle?
Americans dont understand British accents…
what, what?

I didnt see it, but eastendes is the best. Nothing can compare. I stopped watching coronation street when someone stole dereks gnome. A yawn fest it had become.
you probably liked Emmerdale too though?

He forgot to mention…."must be into anal sex or just bring your young brother or son!"
If you can't get laid in a holiday resort in Greece then you must be a sad bastard, but then again, the ad says it all really.
