You call the viewer enquiry lines of major broadcasters to let them know that their channels are being broadcast in the wrong aspect ratio on Freeview (and then have to spend 20 minutes trying to persuade an engineer that it might well be a local problem, even though it's fine at his end)
59) When you get an email back from NewsWatch to say they'd like to speak to you about something you emailed them about, and wonder if you can mention the other things you've been complaining about recently.

When you're bored, you draw doodles of TV logos
You have a photo of an ident as your MSN Messenger display picture
You pretend you're Stephen Cole by playing the clean headline beds from your computer, and reading the headlines in that 'special' way.

Big anorak, big pockets so big screen still possible. Spare pockets

CV this counts as "multi-skilling".
