I blame Jack Bauer.

in Compers chat corner
I used to feel so smug using my spare 4 hours a day comping. I was always on top, dailies done, always up to date on the main board. Then I discovered 24.


I am YEARS behind with TV shows, a couple of weeks ago I found out how to use (yes even more years behind technology wise) the anytime/box set doodad thing. So I downloaded the 1st 2 series of 24. Whoops.


Comping hasn't even been taking a back seat, it has completely missed the ride :(


So I've asked Jnr (not so Jnr) to hide the remote and I'm going to sit here and comp till I have caught up.


Hope everyone has been lucky!

    Blimey Sax! Living on the edge ;) comping at work.


    I get up about 5am every morning working or not (damn body clock) so I usually comp then. The shifts I work vary so I never get to do a straight 5 days Mon - Fri.


    To be honest I never thought 24 was my thing. I am a big girls blouse when it comes to violence, but so far I'm really enjoying it. Although I've been told it gets a bit more erm..colourful with each series so I might duck out before I've watched them all!

    I'm currently negotiating with my uni to take six months off (depression :( )

    Cannot get addicted to TV box sets for six months, but you've reminded how much I enjoyed watching 24 first time round... :rotfl:
