How to be unpopular with your children
« on: June 04, 2008, 03:12:37 PM »
Fed up with the kids watching absolute cr*p on TV? Bored with them always wanting to watch triangular faced cartoon characters with American accents? P*ssed off with teenage daughters watching nothing but old reruns of programmes you first saw thirty years ago and what is worse knowing that she doesn't actually understand half the jokes but simply laughs a spilt second after she hears the canned laughter track?
I have the answer. "Parental Controls". What a wonderful invention.  spider:

I thought it was meant to allow me to "filter" porn channels so that, if I were daft enough to pay for them, my children would not be able to access them BUT OH NO! It's much better than that. Using the PIN, that only I know 8), I have spent a happy half hour barring their access to all the programmes that get on my t*ts, all the channels that their mother objects to and anything else I have deemed unsuitable. So pick the bones out of that my little ones.

Now get on with your f*cking homework! freddy:

Oh yes. Using your PIN you can bar access to any channel. Once barred the only way in is via the PIN. Three attempts with the wrong set of numbers and you are locked out for ten minutes. So I have barred the channels that carry the programmes we don't want them to watch but if there is something I want to watch then I simply punch in the PIN and watch to my heart's content. Devilish clever what?  char062

They are now playing ludo. So much better for them than American High School "dramas". Both boys have done reading practice and have learned their weekly spellings ready for tomorrow's test at school. THW has actually done her homework ~ or so she claims.
