Well, on a few occasions I have looked at a guide and
found I'd missed the start of a programme, then
realised I could time-travel. It's not as if there's
a lot of good content waiting for space for a first
showing.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Brian Gaff"
saying something like:

Hear about the Irish version?

-1 channels so everything starts an hour earlier than on the main channel..


That'd be a bloody good idea, given RTE's inability to start any
programme on time.

saying something like:

Alternatively ... spend £1/4m on a mobile phone advert for safe sex,
when someone discovers from a FoI request that it only got 5500 views,
and therefore cost £45 per view, claim those 5500 views actually
exceeded your target!

So they actually expected to pay more than £45/viewer? Unbelievable!

Been cheaper if they'd given each viewer a mobile to shove up their
gash.

it is handy if you miss your program and you can then watch it an hour
later, not all of us have sky plus boxes or v plus boxes where we can
record a program. saves waiting on the repeat being shown when it
happens

Remember! With digital tv channels it's about quantity not quality.
