South African TV programming

If there was more than thirty seconds of programmes worth watching on SABC TV 1, 2, 3  or ETV I would be pleased to pay the wretched TV licence.

Tonight's offering of 40 year old British programme called "Mind your Language" has been shown so often that I think the old VCR tape has stretched beyond its capacity.

"Mind Your language" was quite funny forty years ago but viewers have reached a point where they can chant almost verbatim the dialogue used.

I have made my new LCD screen into a monitor for my computer and removed the CRT tube from my old TV which died and replaced it with a fish tank.  Fish are just more interesting than TV and at least they are pretty and do different things which the programmes on SA TV don't

Found these instructions:


How to Convert an Old TV Into a Fish Tank


Another option would be to hang a paper mobile in the old TV or make a kaleidoscope out of old tin foil and wrapping paper.

OR make a cat or dog bed out of the case.  

Personally, I would love to take it and dump irt on SABC's doorstep in Auckland Park and tell them what they can do with it.
