Baby showers/reveals... and I can't be alone in my hatred for hen night/weekends.
Stopped watching the bbc . Stopped paying my tv license . Got fed up with their BSThe BBC. Supposed to be impartial but over the last 4 or 5 years it is abundantly clear they are not. Plus in this age of cable, satellite and streaming competition they shouldn't be given easy leverage with enforcing a TV licence on people who no longer want it.
I feel inclined to do same, but I know they send out inspectors (from Capita) to harass you for prove that you have no means of picking up any BBC channels from any source, and not just the TV aerial. Talk about "money with menaces"Stopped watching the bbc . Stopped paying my tv license . Got fed up with their BS
It depends, I’ve always had 2 birthdays because my parents are separated and refused to talk to each other or be in the same room, so I’d have a celebration on my birthday with whatever parent that had me on the day the custody fell on and then one with other parent the nearest day to my birthday that was their day. Technically I had two separate birthdays as a kid but it wasn’t really my fault as they wouldn’t communicate to figure out how to have me on the same dayBirthdays that extend past a day. We all have a day that we were born, you don't need a whole effing month. Get over yourself
They do but you’re under no obligation to let them in. They went to a guy’s door I know and he said he didn’t have a TV. The inspector said but you’ve got a Sky dish and the guy replied aye and I’ve got a pint of milk in the fridge, doesn’t mean I’ve got a cow out the back . If you don’t watch live TV or BBC iplayer you don’t need to pay itI feel inclined to do same, but I know they send out inspectors (from Capita) to harass you for prove that you have no means of picking up any BBC channels from any source, and not just the TV aerial.

Exactly i got sick of the bbc and did the same we told them we have a tv but we only watch dvds on it and that was fine as long as you inform them.They do but you’re under no obligation to let them in.

I had a TV that for some reason wouldn't work so just used it for Netflix and I got a series of letters over months that they were investigating if it was true I didn;t connect to TVExactly i got sick of the bbc and did the same we told them we have a tv but we only watch dvds on it and that was fine as long as you inform them.
That sounds promising, but would they ask if you viewed the BBC on PCs, laptops or tablets?Exactly i got sick of the bbc and did the same we told them we have a tv but we only watch dvds on it and that was fine as long as you inform them.
They just said we had to register that we didn’t want a license . But they sent us lots of threatening letters until we did.I feel inclined to do same, but I know they send out inspectors (from Capita) to harass you for prove that you have no means of picking up any BBC channels from any source, and not just the TV aerial.

Actually I've just noticed some older threads further down the forum covering this very subject!They just said we had to register that we didn’t want a license . But they sent us lots of threatening letters until we did.
But no one can come in ur home without permission or a warrant. And they can only get a warrant if they have proof of you breaking the law. (Which we are not.)
They’ll get a F O if they knock on my door !
Oh I don't mean it like that. That is acceptable and understandable. Its the people who, as adults, want multiple parties and people fawning over them because its their birthday month/week etcIt depends, I’ve always had 2 birthdays because my parents are separated and refused to talk to each other or be in the same room, so I’d have a celebration on my birthday with whatever parent that had me on the day the custody fell on and then one with other parent the nearest day to my birthday that was their day.

I was about to post this, 2 (necessary) celebrations is fine, but the amount of adults now talking about "birthday week/month" is insane. I don;t know if this is a consequence of social media or people always did this and it is just more apparent now?Oh I don't mean it like that. That is acceptable and understandable.

Oh that makes sense! I get what you mean, those people who are like "it's my birthday week", yeah pretty sure your birth was only 1 day but sureOh I don't mean it like that. That is acceptable and understandable. Its the people who, as adults, want multiple parties and people fawning over them because its their birthday month/week etc
I think it's social media. It's like that standard posing with age balloons thing. I have no idea why you'd want a birthday month! I cba to celebrate on the actual dayI was about to post this, 2 (necessary) celebrations is fine, but the amount of adults now talking about "birthday week/month" is insane.
