Don Malvado, so bitter my cat won't even lick me Started conversation Jan 21, 2004
For the last few months I've been watching TV without a licence. Today the TV licence inspector man called. I stalled him and told him I was out.
Looks like I'll be buring it in the garden.
Where's my shovel?

Tsk, tsk, tsk! You'd better hope the TV licence man isn't a hootooite, else they'll realise you were lying when you said you were out - 
hang on, how exactly do you *tell* someone that you're out, without being there to tell them...?

You're posting on the BBC website to tell everyone that you haven't got a TV licence?!

In fact, posting to a publically-funded website to say that you have been illegally avoiding paying towards the public fund which allows that website to exist!
Not that I blame you, really - I mean, it's quite a lot of money...

I live with 8 other people (5 of whomb have tvs- one has a licence), so I said "No the person who lives in the room you want to see is out". Its OK! I've hidden the TV elsewhere in the house. I'm safe!

if the TV inspector comes, you just ask to see his ID, then say you don't believe it to be genuine and close the door.
The TV licence is stupid. They don't have a radio one, do they, but we all listen to that and it still costs money to produce. Silly silliness.

Strangly, the TV inspector did come and look round.
3 of the people with TVs' were out, I'd got rid of mine, one bloke got buy with the excuse "I only use it to play on the PS2" (this worked, oddly) and the other one had a TV card he failed to declair.
Got away scott free!
The only comment made about our house was "how did you (me) get the biggest room?"
the answer?
Ruthless cunning and ambition!
(I got in first)

This thread has the makings of a play... maybe even a musical... complete with a flashback of Evil One getting the biggest room...

No!
Anything but a musical!
All that up tempo singing and dancing!
I don't think I could stand it!

Tv inspector came round again. Perhaps he likes me. Anyway, my TV is currently hooked up to a DVD player and an X box and not an ariel so he can look at it all he wants. He sill made me flip through all the chanels to made sure I didn't have a ariel in there on the sly. He can look all he wants I don't watch TV. They still send me rude letters in the post
