TV Today
For those who don’t know: TV-Today is a magazine for television. Always with those heavily edited pictures of women they wouldn’t recognize themselves in. Yes, we still watch TV sometimes, quite normally. The program is usually bad, my wife sometimes turns it on for fun and clicks through. Sometimes she gets stuck somewhere, but quickly turns it off. I can’t keep up with the clicking myself, and I don’t watch movies that are interrupted by commercials. It takes away some of the flow and excitement. It’s not for nothing that movies have commercials before they start, not in the middle. We also don’t stop every 15 minutes on the way to the North Sea dike to take a break. You can overdo it.
In any case, we’ve had a subscription to this magazine for many years. HörZu used to be much better, of course, if only because of the search images in old works of art „Original and Fake“ that I mentioned earlier, around 2016. But it only contained the program for one week and still cost a lot more. TV-Today initially cost €1 or €1.50 per issue with the program for two weeks. I don’t dare look at the cover, but I think the price is higher now. I don’t usually cancel a subscription, I find it hard to get used to a different layout. But if they change it at TV-Today, I might consider it. Nobody wants supermarkets to be redesigned, right?
A very long time ago, Germany had just won the World Cup, the best wife I’ve ever had says it was recently, I once accidentally threw the latest issue of TV-Today in the trash instead of the expired old one. I’m told this has happened three or four times in the last year. Each time my wife says I wasn’t paying attention. Then I go through the paper trash, even outside in the big trash can, find nothing, and still feel guilty. I tend to do that, I made the same mistake when Mertesacker was still playing, the one with the ice cream bin, you know. „Big f**kin‘ German“ was his name at Arsenal. Well, that was a very, very long time ago, 10 years or so.
Well, to come to the end: Shortly after Christmas the issue of TV-Today was missing again, which of course caused a nasty look from my wife. She often doesn’t need words to say much. Three days before the magazine expired, i.e. when there were still three days of programming to look up, it was in the mailbox. Much too late! That’s not possible. So I called the TV-Today service and asked them to change the delivery service. I wanted the magazine to be delivered by a yellow car instead of a blue bicycle.
It works great, since then I always get two issues, one without foil from the blue ones, one with foil from the yellow ones.
Blue and yellow! You should think about Ukraine more often. It’s no further away than Italy. Rome and Kiev are just as far from here, except for a few kilometers: 1650km.
