You're Toast!


So there I am for another night sitting in front of a television at three thirty in the morning unable to breathe or sleep and watching a man attempt to sell a toaster to nine enthusiastic disciples.  Quite why anyone would spend over £60 on a toaster, no matter the many additional super facilities it offers, beats me.  It is just sliced bread burnt slightly does that require paying out £60?
I turned off and eventually after slogging through several channels of the same advert offering gym equipment you don't need found an old US WW2 documentary on the fall of Berlin.  It was that or another unfunny US sitcom full of bright young things with no future until they sell their trauma stories to the media in ten years time.

  
Somebody out there is buying this stuff!
Who are they?  Do they live near you?  What makes them appreciate an object like this with a tosser salesman like that selling it?  The audience, both male and female, were enthusiastic thereby proving they were actors taking what jobs were on offer.  
Would it not be a better idea for Amazon to sell books here during the night?  How about an E-Bay channel where items could be auctioned all night?  Something needs to be done to improve TV for the sick watching life pass by ...

I am not sure about what is on in the early hours on Costa Rican television, but judging by the muck in the shops as they gear up for Christmas a chain selling Chinese plastic tat would go down a bomb.

I hope you have dragged yourself to see a doctor...this is going on too long.

You could always read a book! The Wright Brothers by David McCullough, there that is a good one for you!

Fly, Chinese tat, now if I stock up now I can make a killing by Xmas.

Kay, I have dozens of books to read, I just could not concentrate on them.

You need to get streaming on Netflix, Stan or similar, Adullamite!
