Is sky three unwatchable ? (Kylie again)
 
What if sky three does one of those on screen kylie dogs like they did
the other week or like the one they did for battlestar a while ago .


They just have:


SKY three KYLIE MINOGUE NIGHT
FROM SUNDAY 8PM


Freeview shouldn't have any on-scren junk. I've seen shopping channels with
less crap.

To Sky & advertisers: I will make a point of NEVER buying products
advertised on this channel, until you remove ALL DOGs from your Freeview
broadcasts.

What puzzles me is that the music dips down as though there should be
some voice-over to tell you what's coming up next but there is no
announcer's voice. The music then comes up to its initial volume.

Is someone not pressing a button when they should be or are all
programmes on Sky 3 sold that way so that you can make up your own
announcements ? ;-)

Heh-Heh!, Nice one Richard.

That'll probably be in the next viewers letters section of the Sky mag
complaining " I can't hear the announcer and Have'nt a clue what is on
next, When will Sky 3 be letting us hear this"

( A nice,Safe complaint fo their letters page) ;-))

Sorry, I should have said "over the end credits!" At the end of Relic
Hunter (because Wayne's World's Tia Carrere makes me feel tingly -
mummy, what does this mean ?) was when I first noticed the sound ducking
and I was thinking "go on, say something. You know you want to!"

It makes me want them to go back to the early days of Channel 4 when
someone left the mic on and they could be heard walking around. Now
THAT was fun!

That's so cool!

If I had my wits about me and met someone like that I'd like to do a
spoof set (dangerous I know) where the first frame is like yours then
there's the second picture of the shocked look on her face with her
giving me a swipe across the cheek. Next picture of her hands around my
throat looking like a shaking motion going on, then the final picture
with me on the floor curled up in reaction to her foot swung back ready
for the kill, targetting my jewels.

I'm sure that's what most of them feel like with these fan-conventions
so it would be a laugh to do something a bit different!

It would be worth the look on my mates faces as I say with glee "and
that's her ready to put the boot in!" Mustn't forget the fake collar.

And even sader...

I think the look on your mates faces would be more "get a life"...

So, what's your life, Loz or is that a contracted 'los' ?

Well it's not living in a fantasy world where I fantasize what I would do if
I met a celebrity, that's for sure...

One tip: try doing exhibition/tv charity work and take a ****ty stick!

That's one area of work I miss doing after all these years but it was
great fun once the travelling to the ******** called London was done.
In fact, pick the right person and they love taking part in jokes on
mates. It's so different for them than being revered, being asked when
their next film or book is coming out and they can have a rare laugh! ;-)
