A place of one's own

A saying runs 'An Englishman's home is his castle'. What a load of bollocks. Mine ain't. Let me tell you about my evenings. I've been watching dvds but this is how I watch them. I watch until the stampeding starts, stop the film until things quieten down, play again for a minute or two until the noise starts again, stop it until it quietens down, and so on. At least the kid goes to bed by nine now, so I only have a few hours of it to put up with. And at least that evil man ain't there no more.
