Zetec The guy from The Office. I didn't find the program funny, though 2DTV's ripoff of that dance he did with the little asian lads was funny. -- Paul (Take my hand, I'm standing right here) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |

writes I have sent this to Sky's "Viewer Relations" department this evening.... Dear Sky, We get the bumpers during the ads for Ricky Gervais' appearance on the The Simpsons ad-nauseum. Every break it seems to be on... Now we get a message ON SCREEN underneath the Sky One "DOG" during all of primetime saying the same thing???? How many times do we need to be told??? Yes! We know! Ricky on Sunday on The Simpsons - WE GET IT!!!!! Turn the bloody thing off! Thanks for listening, Simon Ough A rather annoyed Sky One viewer. I wonder if that will make the Sky mag, next month :-) This times star letter was a classic, someone had written in saying how much their family loved the mag, they'd even enclosed a picture with colour-coded book-marks for all the stuff they wanted to watch, and highlighted various entries, LOL. -- Sean Black |

I think it was when they started putting those settings for reminders on previews, a 'letter' requesting the same exactly as they appeared. -- Paul (Take my hand, I'm standing right here) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |

No, phoning earns them money as they charge you 8p a minute to talk to some Indian graduate who is being paid 8p an hour to answer the phone. Which is remarkable since Sky's call centres are in Scotland. -- |

Which is remarkable since Sky's call centres are in Scotland. Re-routed to India as you can tell (especilly if you mention snow on your satellite dish!) Great to have a conversatin on hearing some voddo doll answer and say "Hello, I'm ringing over the *Get Sky for free on your PC* offer on Ebay" Always seems to be a long pause so after some indian mumbo jumbo meaning "Eh?" , "Alright then, how about this crack for the Sky viewing card...Where can I get it from?" |

Dear Kathy and Claire, please make Sky put reminders on screen telling me when I should eat, otherwise I might starve to death. :O)) -- Paul (Take my hand, I'm standing right here) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |
