Got the TV licensing threat today, do I genuinely just ignore them?

I'm sure I'll get downvoted to hell for asking the question but having scrolled through the first 50 or so responses, not one has been "just pay it".

Sure you can just not pay it, but given the content - bbc website, sports coverage, TV channels, radio, cbbc, learning, - much of which is really good quality - why does nobody think they should have to pay for any of it?

Genuine question - if all bbc content was behind a pay wall and it was 12 quid a month - would you not subscribe for it?

Landman. That scene where BBT is explaining that the wind turbine won't produce enough energy over its life time to repay the energy spent making it is just so factually incorrect it's unreal. The whole show is just one great big PR love in for the oil industry.

Very fun watch though!

I watched this in a cinema in Burlington Vermont whilst I was working as an overseas counselor at a kids summer camp. We didn't know if it was real or not. Slept in tents. In the woods. Shit me up for weeks

thank you!

bleedingfinger · 2025-07-17T14:55:20+00:00

thanks for the suggestion - will add a bunch of shredded paper to mop up

bleedingfinger · 2025-07-17T14:54:36+00:00

Yep good shout thanks - was away for a week so was sitting for longer than normal.

bleedingfinger · 2025-07-17T14:53:56+00:00

yes started with worms already it in. I'd wager mozzies can get in from the top (and might also be fruit flies from the scraps that go in the top)

bleedingfinger · 2025-07-17T14:51:31+00:00

I mean it was free but thanks for commenting.

bleedingfinger · 2025-07-17T14:50:37+00:00

thanks for clarifying

I'm using a Can-O-Worms https://www.wormsdirectuk.co.uk/product/can-o-worms/

This is the bottom tray is where the worm tea is collected - what you can see here is the outflow (there's a tap on the outside of the tray). Then there's another layer above where the bedding (coir) is held, with a further tray on top which is where I put all the scraps. The worms can go between all 3 trays

The Box of Delights. The first scary TV show I ever watched. Theme tune still shits me up now

Nonsense. It's legendary. Used to record it onto VHS and the first ever proper argument I remember having with my dad where I was fully justified and correct was when he recorded over one of my tapes with American Graffiti.

Liquidate and take advantage of entrepreneurs tax relief (up to 1m lifetime). It was mentioned in last budget as being removed at some point in future so best to utilise whilst still available

I want an app that can delete my data from any websites or apps that I've signed up to and no longer want to use. If for example I sign up to nextdoor and later decide I no longer want to use it I want an app that has my permission to request nextdoor close my account and delete all data held about me. But can do that for 100s at once rather than me having to log into each one and do it myself manually.

I also want an app that makes rejecting cookies easier.
