nice thecoastman But worry if you start naming the players with terms or microscopic creatures from your research.

It sounds like you speak from personal experience!

I've become addicted to hollyoaks since starting my PhD

Becoming nocturnal. Standard routine: start work at 4pm, work till 2am, sleep till 10am.
except with the clocks changing I am now getting up at 11. Oooooooh what would my mum say

thanks for sharing that Tricky It makes me feel better (same sort of level as Neighbours I assume)

Bad storylines, shockingly bad acting and annoying characters... But still can't miss a show! I have also got all my other housemates addicted aswell hehe

hollyoaks neighbours and eastenders.. maybe i crave a life so like to watch others peoples disasters/romances etc!

when watching those soaps, do you make inner comments like "why did you not tell the truth to your family, now it's gonna take at least 8 episodes to correct that mistake!"

I was always a fan of Neighbours and Eastenders, in fact, have watched Neightbours since I was six
As for new bad habits - checking the BBC news website too many times a day. By the time I get home and watch the six o'clock news, I could pretty much be reading it. That's a bad trait I want to cut out.

"Neightbours"?!! NEIGHBOURS!

I can't stand soaps, so boring and predictable, like most tv.

I could watch UKTVfood all day long though.

Apprentice is starting tonight

i like boring and predictable. unlike my life..!

yay! Apprentice.. Another thing I watch, and feel guilty.

I watched neighbours for about 2 mins today and had no idea who anyone was except Steph and I heard someone mention Toadie. Storylines haven't changed though.....
