I was wondering that too.

What about a guy who was born in Ohio, lived there most of his childhood, but now lives in South Carolina (which I consider one of the Infinite Layers of the Abyss)?

There was a T.V. program on this weekend which you may or may not have watched, I forget if you're still in Scotland. It was supposedly Stephen Hawking 'telling it like it is' on the topics of time travel and all that jazz.

The bit I saw started with the standard "train goes at the speed of light", I don't know what it is with special relativity and trains but they just go together. Anyway as per usual the actual point of special relativity failed to be explained.

Ended up with a theoretical space ship setting off from Earth, travelling at 99.9% lightspeed, it would make it to the edge of the galaxy in just 16 years!

Therefore the people on board are time travellers!

Come to think of it, this isn't entertaining at all.

I avoid popular science shows because they make me vomit.

Also British tv is fucking awful.

Top Gear is on British TV.
Doctor Who is on British TV too.

I'm going to just assume that you forgot to add a little exception there.
Go on, admit that you simply neglected to mention Top Gear and Doctor Who aren't included in that perception, because they're so obviously not awful.

This is Smarty. He probably hates them the most out of all programs.

Quite franky, blanket statements like that are false. I'd assume he hasn't seen the dross that appears on US TV, simply because it's dross and doesn't get exported, with a few possible exceptions. Only the good stuff. And vice versa for anyone else watching Brit exports.

I'll exempt some of the old comedies like Fry and Laurie, Not the 9 O'Clock news, Monty Python, Fucking Blackadder, The Young Ones pretty much all of them.
Out of recent shows- QI is pretty good but not watch every week good.
Top Gear is the same show every week and is full of shits who won't crash horribly and die. They do some funny shit ocassionaly but its drowned out by fuckheads being fuckheads mostly. When they were going mobile homing and Clarkson built a multi-level apartment on his car and Hamster had like a fortress in his car- that was total class.
Doctor Who is like objectively terrible and schlocky anda deus-ex-machina every week but is silly fun.
Nothing else really springs to mine, It Crowd and Inbetweeners are occasionaly hilarious.
My bgigest problem is no fucking ads. I'm watching a movie, I need to get food, to get drink, to go for a shit- that is what ads are for.
US tv is not great but it's got a lot of mindless fun which is generally waht I wantfrom TV. When it tries to be good,however, -see the Wire, Mad Men0 its generally pretty mediocre. The vast majority of British tv isn't entertaingly bad, it's just boring and dull.It just mediocre on all facets.
The onyl show that I watch with any regularity is Survivor which is pretty rightly classifiedas the bottom of the barrel dross of tv. It's my secret shame.

Hahahaha.

I'm just gonna bow out of this thread now. Because any further posts would just be me randomly alternating between laughing my ass off at you and unintelligible curse words that don't actually exist.

I remember watching a show once and Clarkson sepnt like 5 minutes laughing at people who couldn't afford to drive ad had to take a bus. In between some genuinely funny stuff he spits out right-wing hate speech. Have youread any of his newspaper columns?
And he goes around shitting on climate change because it would take away his ability to drive massive muscle cars.
Like when half your jokes are mocking poor people and people trying to help them I'm going to be put off. At heart he is a deeply unpleasant individual.
