You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
Good news: my chem professor agreed to give me an alternate exam time because I have to work during the scheduled evening exams.
I set my moving in date for my new Halls as the 12th on my TV licensing thing, because that is when I officially move in. However, I have already moved half my stuff in, and now I can't renew my TV license until I officially move in,
we kept getting letters telling us to buy a tv license and we dont even have anything capable of playing tv and we told them this and we still kept getting the letters and now we got one that says 'WE ARE SENDING A LICENSING OFFICER TO YOUR ADDRESS'
i have a completed draft of my dissertation and now what is left is the donkey work of redrafting and sorting out referencing and formatting and thats the worst and most boring part of work and i reeeeeeeally dont wanna do it ._.
My flatmate is like that. She only uses her TV for video games, and watches everything on iPlayer or the equivalent. She told them repeatedly that she doesn't even watch live TV, but she still got the letters. Pain in the arse.
I think my new flatmate has a TV in the kitchen. Should be interesting.

And I'm watching Barefoot Contessa on Food Network, and as I was typing "new flatmate has a TV in the kitchen", she was talking about sugar, and so I typed "new flatmate has a TV in the sugar".

The one year they were threatening to take us to court by the time we moved out.

I think most Americans would fly into a blind rage if you even suggested the concept of a TV license over here
Granted, we barely have a public broadcasting system anymore, and even that's being gutted (e.g., Sesame Street's first-run episodes moving to HBO because they need the money to keep it going)

I leave the skin on the potatoes now when I mash them. Add flavour.

They're actually not allowed to advertise for commercial businesses on there.
Do they even try to look for decent music today
Before that people were saying everything from the 60s/70s was good and the music of the 90s/00s was bad.
