Throw away your television
As the Red Hot Chilli Peppers say: throw away your television.
It is a good idea. Really really. You will have withdrawal symptoms for a while, and sit on the sofa gazing blankly at the fish tank you will buy to replace the original box-esque centre piece. You might even order your poor undeserving coinhabitants to present their own version of Eastenders to you. As a puppet show with squeaky voices. Substituting kings, crocodiles, Punch and Judy for the characters as we know them.
The symptoms pass. You find you are busy, where you once had no time to be, because you sat watching the most pointless shows on earth. And you will stop asking people who don't spend three or more hours a day sitting infront of a box: "How do you LIVE?!" and "What do your sofas all point towards???". Because, if you thought about it, those really are silly questions. Since when have sofas had to be arranged around anything? Is there a sofa law which states:
"You must arrange thine living room so that all armchairs and sofas are placed in an advantageous postition re: the TV. You MUST be able to see fully the television from whatever end of the sofa you are sitting on. Or else." ?
Listen to the Chilli Peppers. They are wise guys. They also said once: "This time of night's for singing songs about the local news." How very very true.
