Channel 5

Has anyone had trouble viewing Channel 5 for the cricket highlights? The Channel just blanks out at that time (1900 hours).
I do have a problem with my Sky Box in that it freezes and when reset the programme synopsis or mini picture is not available, but by carrying out a modified reset procedure I can overcome the problem for a while - we have to wait over a week for an engineer to call and fix the problem, I suspect that the box needs changing out.

Ah I let him watch the cricket while I washed up and had a bath and then as soon as that finished he didnt get a look in with the remote Marg!!

I watched a film while he had a bath and then he fell asleep on the setee next to me!!

I dont like cricket thought, I dont mind others but never really taken much notice of cricket!!!

He holds the remote like it is some part of his anatomy...a special part at that! He can be asleep and I have to prise it out of his hand....and then he will say 'I was watching that'....course he was ...projected onto the back of his eyelids.
I leave him to it and come and surf the web...then he complains that I am never off the computer. Can't win!

Flashy...that wouldn't work....he thinks I am the master at fixing all things technical.......on odd times he has touched the 'input' button by accident, the cry has gone up ....' Maaaaaaaaaargaret come and fix the (expletive) TV'

I'm surprised you haven't heard him in Blackburn, it is akin to the call of a wounded buffalo.

We have another TV, but he complains if I go and watch that one....I'm supposed to sit there bored witless watching dross on TV.

No Margaret, but close....more like a cross between Jim Royle and Victor Meldrew.

Re: Channel 5

Do you never fancy watching anything on TV?
Some things I watch I think they are going to be rubbish (nothing else on so I watch it) but then they turn out good.

Not much Heth........I sometimes watch some of the drama series...but they really have to grab me. I am not good at watching films....too antsy.....I get bored quite easily.
I like doing, rather than watching.
