that sounds like a place you put someone in time out to punish them so they can't watch their favourite show or charge their phone.
nah, it is like I said the time and place to interact with each other, have a chat about things which happened or which are interesting to talk about - it is not the time to do something else and smart phones are not allowed in the room as well - it is the time to interact with each other, not with devices. Just look at people and how they behave in public nowadays, having their smart phones glued to their hand and staring into it, unable to interact with others - they are busy with their devices. This has to be avoided, to actually have a chat and interact with each other - anything distracting from it is counter-productive to the whole purpose - namely to have an interaction among the people living in the house, getting to know what they are currently about, what drives their fancy or whatever they want to talk about - it is actually paying attention to the other person, without to charge your phone or any of these activities - it is the time and place to chat in a relaxed way while having tea and biscuits or scones and interact with each other.that sounds like a place you put someone in time out to punish them so they can't watch their favourite show or charge their phone.
I don't wanna surf the net on my television for the same reason I don't want to urinate into my dishwasher

w're alledgedly going to get some snow today - so todays plans = corner shop for emergency supplies (Beer), and sit in with a warm fire, warm cat and some rugby.
Don't want to overdo it.
hmmm good point, and it's only 8:30. Not a great start.morning, you seem to not be awake yet - it is sunday, that corner shop might be closed.
extra vent would be difficult, the property is inheritance listed and changes to the outside appearance of the house are normally not allowed. In this case there might be an exception possible, because it is a safety issue. But when we applied for allowance of proper air conditioning with vents to the outside, this got denied. So, it might be a problem.Sound advice. Think we had to have extra vent fitted, one in the floor (we have a cellar), and one on the outside wall. Makes you wonder how the victorians managed to breathe when they had both fires working
Yep, already seen a couple of unhappy looking brass monkeys here...Morning. It's colder than a witch's boobie bird.
in Germany one had to pay for it as well when having a PC, regardless if one is watching tv with it or not - pretty annoying. I actually stopped having a tv set when ads and "program information" together occupied more than 1/3 of the time and a 105 minutes movie takes 3 hours to watch. This is unbearable.I was quite happy living without TV for about 30 years...
Fun story - I lived in a very nice village for a while, and had a 37" display to play movies from NAS and Xbox / PS3 on.
TV Licensing visited one day telling me I had no license (true) to which I pointed out I had no TV reception apparatus... Smart-(slang for rear-end) bloke points at display meaningfully... I invited him in, handed the remote over, and asked him to find any TV channel on it. He wasn't a happy womble![]()
The BBC here (for whom we pay a license fee) are also trying to push for the same, as TV can be watched on any internet connected device, they haven't won yet, thankfully!in Germany one had to pay for it as well when having a PC, regardless if one is watching tv with it or not - pretty annoying.

Kale? Sprouts?kale.
Although I like @Factabulous idea of sprouts - an awesome veg provided you don't over cook it.
Sadly the morning after smells like you've drunk a 6 pack of out of date Yakult.
