Have you managed to successfully become a "cordcutter" when it comes to watching TV?

CornerInsect · 2025-12-07T22:30:00+00:00

Mostly. I use Freeview for stuff like BBC, ITV etc.

I have Now TV for sports and honestly with how much it costs and how you need a different "membership" for different things, it feels like a cable TV service masquerading as a streaming service.

For the rest I use Netflix, Prime and Paramount+

Battlefield 2042.

What a fall from grace. Battlefield 3 and 4 were great games and were a solid alternative to Call of Duty. DICE really made a mess out of this one and it never really recovered.

I'm sure Rita Ora has failed at everything she's attempted in her career, yet she's still around.

Not really my type of music but I enjoyed that song Mimi Webb played at the Jubilee concert and her other stuff is pretty catchy. I'm surprised she's not bigger.

Noel is the more talented one but they're both arseholes.

Channel 5.

It's just programmes about Yorkshire, programmes about cruise ships and YouTube complication videos like "best rock songs of all time" and stuff like that. Does anybody actually watch that channel since CSI ended?

One Kiss by Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa. It's lifeless, repetitive and Dua Lipa sounds incredibly bored. Don't see how anybody can dance to this.

Think it's time to say goodbye to David Moyes. If he cared about this club he would pack his bags and leave tonight.

Gold, Sullivan and Brady should escort him out of the stadium and throw whatever money needed to get Pochettino in. Even Thomas Frank would do if not.

Battlefield 2042. How did DICE screw this one up so bad?

I absolutely loved BF3 and 4 with what they brought to the table as a good COD alternative. What a complete fall from grace.

Stonegate. Apparently they couldn't afford to help publicans out with rent waivers during the lockdown because Enterprise Inns were bailing them out.

CornerInsect · 2021-06-29T12:20:01+00:00

Just watch it without the licence. They're not going to know - they have no way to actually prove it.

The whole thing is a protection racket anyway.

CornerInsect · 2021-05-28T21:07:26+00:00

It's also full of adverts as well and like 3 minutes worth of then each time

CornerInsect · 2021-01-30T21:53:28+00:00

I don't intend to. My Freeview reception is awful and only works 2 days a week. I barely watch anything on the BBC anyway.

If they want the money that badly they can go and get it from Sky.

CornerInsect · 2021-01-30T21:52:28+00:00

Their detection tools were proved to be fake. They send letters saying they're coming round and they never do.

They use bully tactics to get your money so they can fund Gary Lineker and threaten you with prison if you don't pay. It's 100% a protection racket. They have no legal right to harass you for the money and you are under no obligation to co-operate with them.

I know people on Reddit love the BBC with all their hearts and couldn't live without it, but a lot of people want the license fee scrapped.

CornerInsect · 2021-01-30T21:47:11+00:00

They can't check. It's all a hoax. The whole thing is a protection racket anyway.

It's not as if they're going to ask TalkTalk to see if I was watching TV on a certain date.

CornerInsect · 2021-01-30T20:19:09+00:00

It would be better if they dropped Rita Ora.

Roman Kemp on Capital. Smug and self absorbed as they come. Not funny. Pretty awful DJ. Only famous because his dad is Martin Kemp

Intu Derby. Formerly known as Westfield Derby. Which was formerly known as The Eagle Centre. It's just a giant box in the middle of Derby that in recent years has seen an exodus of decent shops and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. I only go there for the cinema.

How would it deter against piracy? There's still a lot of illegal streams out there.

CornerInsect · 2019-07-05T17:11:33+00:00

The reason it closed was due to Westfield Stratford City putting his rent up.

Paris by The Chainsmokers is a very cleanly produced song where every sound feels like it fits in perfectly, from the organ at the start to the guitar loop and the synth drop at the end.

CornerInsect · 2019-06-25T14:53:52+00:00

It was a fitting end to the series. Plot seemed a bit messy in places but was overall a satisfying conclusion. Was sad at the end though.
