REmote Control

Written by monwy from the blog NAPPY NOTES on 21 Oct 2009
Favourite this post


The SABC especially SABC1, is so so boring these days...they keep on bringing the old shows. for example SOCIETY gals is coming next week tuesday, I am so not looking forward to the show as it will only bring boredom to my life! Y dnt they fire those people who are tired of doing the job and hire volunteers who will do excellent jobs without payment if they dnt wanna pay salaries? IS THIS WHAT WE PAY TV LICENCES FOR? I am a student but when a had to buy my TV for ERez...I had to pay for a TV Licence!





Same applies to DStv




Would sum1 plz tell me why the person who writes the DStv programme information, which appears on your screen when you press the "i" button on your remote control, still has a job? the grammar is that of a 10 year old, the spelling is awe-inspiring and too many times I have come across the previous week or even month's programme information.

I've laboured over this, and the simple explanation must be a severe case of dyslexia, and for fear of discrimination lawsuit, they, keep this person around at our expense!

What I want to findout is if such information ibhalwa ngubani, isn't there a possiblity that they'd hire sumbody else who is passionate and willing to do the job?


Remote Control


and lastly ... Remote controls always get lost...y doesnt the manufacturers of the DVDs think of putting a subtitile button on the DVD Machine? Its no fun havin to listen to a polish movie without having to read the english subtitles because the remote control is nowhere to be found!

2.Season 2 of so you think you are funny..as wack as it was, we cant blame sabc for boring reality show but the contestant.
3. My beloved Home Affairs
4. SA's Got talent
5. Precious africa....

Can't wait for Zola7 to see what he's got for us this week, cos that lady from last was just something else hey....infact, I think Thursday has got the most interesting shows from all the other days....or kanjani? lol

I don't understand why she acts so childish in her show really. It's like she's a YO-TV presenter. That is what bores me about her show. I've got the same problem with her too Cheesa - only watch it now & then when i can't stand KK arrogance, the chicken head mlungu (white man) & Bhangiseni on Muvhango but i never finishes it - also of 90 Plein Street 

I'm one of those who're looking forward to Society - SA's Got Talent is good - i like it, and Home Affairs

Remote controls always get lost...y doesnt the manufacturers of the DVDs think of putting a subtitile button on the DVD Machine? Please ask them that AGAIN...

sorry to be off topic guys, my nephew ask me why is Angie on the Relate
my son's nanny was angry at Angie yesterday saying that she never solves peoples problems. They (produce) could have at least hired a proffesional councellor or psychologist to help people cause all that Angie says is "i'll refer you to the nearest FAMSA" and the FAMSA thing never works

I was speechles cause she is the one who wants to watch it. I hate it. useless advice all the time
"you must hire the movie Sex and City and see what will happen thereafter"--i mean WTH???

Tholi
21 Oct 2009 12:20

yep Cande, Mom Angie always and it by saying "See u nextweek Wednesday @ 19:00."

Can't wait for Zola7
thanks but xa ngibonga, i dont watch this show. the presenter always look untidy, lately he has added chubyness (if there is such a word) oh! no i dont do that show. 
a scruffy presenter with siphanda is not appealing to me, i rather fix something to chow while waiting for Top Billing and now SAGT (uvegot2cit2bilivit)

21 Oct 2009 13:22

to the Aurthor..I dont think society will be a repeat
I heared an interview with that girl that plays a lezbo in Society she said the show will be a new season, the story continues exploring their relationship and otehr issues...lokin foward to it

ms.tebby.....you can it in  zulu...
                        "lomfan' uyang'nyanyisa nje mina..upaqe kakhulu
"

Zola 7...well for all the gud he's doin..he can go jump in the lake...(and have a bath while he's there..mayeb we can talk)...the other day he was telling this woman that she cries too much and he kept on saying that...so much that by the time he got donations for her she could not speak..(i think she was a bit annoyed by him repriminding her like a little girl..and he asumed that because she's neva been helped she cannot handle it....BOLLOCKS..its because she was gonna cry and already yean had repriminded her about crying. LOL..he's full of twap...njengamanje...mncm!!!

I think remote controls and keys shud have a buzzzer, or something.... where u could just buzz it whenever it does the dissappearing act!! Nothing is more frustrating than having to look for these things....

and ja, bring back Society, loving Montana and Home affairs!!!!!!

I used to watch Zola & when it played at 8:30pm,but now I can't stand it anymore,somehow I feel they lost the plot.Eish,Plein Street le yone ya mboranyana sometimes,but when I have nothing else to do I can stomach it.Now pleeeeease dont get me started on Stoan Seate of Afro Cafe,he is so fake Khanyi's 'boot-bags' have nothing on him.His voice...it's like someone pushed something into his arse-hole,nx!

Very funny TL, i was beginning to wonder what has tupperware got to do with this blog, oh why I love TVSA

I was thinking last night when I was watching Home Affairs as to why is there no one in TVSA doing recaps, maybe we should get one of the Society actors to recap/preview Society like Chantal did, it will surely up their ratings........ask Chantal if you dont believe me
