Im quite lucky as i am quite busy with a course, work, and friends and that i no longer have a TV (mine broke at christmas and i never replaced it) so i rarely get bored, but when i do i go to my piece of paper on which i have written down all those little jobs i have to do, phone calls, emails, things to look into etc.
maybe try that?
but don't try on tV to releave the bordom... plleeeeeaaaaassseee!!
