What it says about you

I read today that your television says a lot about you, frustratingly it did not say what TV says what about anyone :twisted:
Does anyone have an opinion ? if someone has a large TV what does that say ? if someone has a small TV what does that say ? is it like the comparison with car size and manhood ?
I am intrigued now lol
What other possessions people have do you think say about them ?
My wife has just said I have too many... lol
Cars, televisions or both ? wink
and why do people who do not watch TV always sound so superior when they say it like watching TV is a bad thing, I mean I know that watching too much TV could be seen as a bad thing but too much of most things can be bad and a small amount of everything can be a good thing.
I learn so much from TV, I watch a lot of documentaries and I learn from other programmes too, sometimes it annoys me, it can anger me and teach me, it can frustrate me and make me laugh, it can be entertaining and misleading but I enjoy it for the most part.
As for my car, it is big but not flash, it is built for purpose, a people carrier that carries just about anything I need to squeeze into it, it has served me well for 3 years making it possible for me to move house twice using only my car for transportation.
I dont watch a lot of TV but i dont think of myself as superior because i dont watch much TV.
I am selective about what i watch though and maybe that makes me sound superior because i am aware that some people will watch anything and everything smile
Well being honest, yes it does make you sound like you think your better than those who watch anything and everything, some people find religion helps them through their lives, some people have hobbies, some spend their time with families and some watch a lot of TV, be that documentaries, movies or what to some is mindless crap that has nothing to do with reality, either way it is people's choice what they find enjoyable. I don't judge trainspotters or people into collecting things, whatever it takes to make you happy and get you through life's turbulence.
I am at this moment watching a war movie, to some it is boring and insignificant, to me it reminds me what some went through for my freedom and it is part of my personal history, it is entertaining and educational but I never allow TV to rule my life, I have a pause button and a record button, so I can pick and choose when I want to relax and watch TV.
I don't think that those who don't watch TV or don't watch much TV are missing out on some very educational stuff or even just entertaining stuff, I just think that they probably get this part of their lives elsewhere, perhaps they like to read or go out to a pub or chat with family and friends or use the internet, each to their own.
I don't watch a lot of telly but think it makes me feel smug not superior!
I feel superior due to my sparkling personality, ready wit, rugged good looks and the ability to lie about it to people I have never met lol
Joke apart, I really don't watch much TV, don't think the time in front of the box is an issue though, each to there own. If it becomes an obsession though, that's another thing! I am aware of a friends parter who will not miss an episode of Coronation Street! to a point where when they get back off holiday she watches every episode she has missed back to back before she even unpacks.
24" £150 telly from Asda btw
My Car says a lot about me
Its small and neat and goes like the clappers :bounce:
as for my telly - its always switched on lol
Now that's what I like to see, honesty without remorse lol and a car fit for purpose not for show wink when it comes to TV though mine too is always switched on in the background while I do other things. We don't have a TV in the lounge and we find that when people come to visit is good not to have that distraction, however in our bedroom we have a 42" 3D telly on which Sasha watches what I think is total crap :lol: she loves all those celebrity programmes like the Kardasians, Peter Andre, 16 year old cribs and the like which I hate so I use the guest bedroom when I want to watch my documentaries or movies in there we have an 84" 3D cinema style screen. other guest bedrooms have TV's ranging from 32" to 52".
Not sure what says about me....but I have a Camper Van......always wanted one and managed to have enough pennies to get this one two years ago now.
As for telly....well I watch the sport.....but have to be honest at the moment not much else. Used to love Big Brother, but know everyone knows format and so becomes predicable with people playing up to the cameras.....and oh..its a 52" Plasma, which I brought for the World cup 8 years ago now !!!

It may make me sound superior but i dont think of myself as being superior just because i watch very little TV.
Its a matter of choices and i chose to spend my free time doing something other than watching TV, nothing superior about that at all, just a matter of preferences smile
Im not sure what my car says about me though .... its new, small, has 5 doors and i dont pay any tax, its nippy and it has a childs car seat in it, it also has stickers showing my fav football team smile

What other possessions people have do you think say about them ?

But yeah, I have too much stuff, 2 cars and 2 land rovers (one ex military lightweight)
Landrovers ranked there with the mini (original) VW beetles and Camper vans, improved but hard to better it when it comes to design kinda like the Harrier (but I can't drive (fly) a harrier.
i had a 32" hd tv and got rid of it for a 21" to save space.
hardly watch tv as i am now working a lot more than i use to. if anything i use a tablet to catch up with news items and other programmes i like.
And i have noticed that the larger tv did give off a lot more heat.
as for other things i sell most of that when i get bored with it so every 6 months or so have a clear out. only keep what i really need.
I wish I could do that, not exactly a hoarder but have too many boxes of things that "might come in handy" in the future but can never find them when I need them, especially remotes, cables, odd electrical bits, power transformers and the like.
i live like im going to die tomorrow.
now i know that sounds terrible but in life you really do not need a lot of things.
people seem to value ipads and the latest phones more dearly than a human being and thats sad in itself.
i admit i do own a mobile phone, a tablet and a expensive motorbike for some that maybe excessive, they could be right.
i have what makes me happy and no more than that. anything could happen tomorrow and i could be living somewhere else if work sends me that way so less i have to pack the better.
if i had kids or a wife things would be very different so i shamble about from one corner to another lol
