TMINE

I’m moving home this weekend: woo hoo (or something). Anyway, BT in its infinite wisdom has completely messed up the phone line installation, ‘accidentally’ cancelling it this morning without telling me. So while I was scheduled to have a phone service and broadband from Thursday, it might be two weeks before an engineer can come round and another week after that before I broadband.

That means that TMINE might be a little truncated for the next week or two weeks. Certainly, the Daily News won’t be happening for a week or so (unless I’m very clever – but don’t ever rely on that) and I’m not sure what I guarantee about other content – not even TMINE’s birthday celebrations on the 18th. But I’m going to try to do what I can, so bear with me.

Have a great weekend and hopefully, I’ll be back next week. TTFN!

Interesting observation, today. I was on one of my regular commutes. I had my iPad with me, ready for me to watch the second episode of Sebastian Bergman, when I realised I’d left my headphones at home. How could I possibly watch it now? The noise would annoy everyone else.

So I didn’t watch anything at all and read a book instead.

It was only on the way home this evening that I realised that Sebastian Bergman, being a subtitled drama, possibly didn’t need sound. I could mute the iPad and still watch the show.

Duh.

And yet I didn’t. Now this could be for several reasons:

1. I’m stupid
2. There’s a sort of ritual there that I didn’t want to break
3. Sound, even if it’s not dialogue, is still important to full the appreciation of TV drama.

Which do you think it is (I’m expecting a lot of ‘1’s here) and if you were in my position, would you have watched Bergman with the sound muted or waited until you were at home?
