yonmei mentioned the kind of TV you can watch while doing something else, which is a concept that I find baffling.

So. A quiz.

It's easier to comment! I don't watch tv much, but I get twitchy *just* watching tv, because it feels like a waste of time. So on the fairly rare occasion that there's something I want to watch on, it's more likely I'll have the ironing board out too. It's rare that I'm not jumping up when the adverts come on to put washing on the radiators or whatever too! Mostly if the tv's on it's because someone else wants to watch it; I can happily fiddle about on the computer or suchlike while that's happening but I wouldn't be able to do work that needed concentration like writing a report or something while there was tv or music in the background; for that I need silence.

Good point - my attention span is such that I can sit and watch without fidgeting.
