Nor am I having to record such things as The Sky At Night, or Horizen because my partner claims they are boring, (when what they mean is, they haven't got enough between the ears to understand what's going on, (most of the time neither have I, but I'm willing to learn)).
There are times when I think that would be a boon, but then again some of the benefits of having someone whose whims are different to mine, outweigh that desire.

He once said he was going to visit Oz, (on his own) for six months I was rubbing my hands...thinking I can stay up and watch what I want.....get up when I want......eat when I want(instead of having to produce meals to a set time)stay on the computer all day if I want. He didn't go and I felt just a little bit cheated.
