Blimey, my life isn't the kind people would want to read about!

Don't undersell yourself. The interest group within the book market
might be tiny compared to the group targetted by the 'Celebs' but at
least yours would be a high quality product consumed by people of
taste and learning.

Yeah, but don't forget to put the rampant sex in. If none ever happened
to you just make it up.

That's me!


Yeah but like I said there has to be some shagging in it.

Erm... not in Scotland via FreeView. We had the excitement of Scottish
Country Dancing and a prog about the countryside. No doubt we'll soon be
having a series on how to make shortbread... :-)

You should get yourself a satellite system, Jim. You'll then have the
choice of any BBC1 region. And very high quality radio from other
countries. They can be bought very cheaply, and don't involve paying any
fees to view other than the licence fee.

I've use mine to view BBC1 Scotland on occasion.

There's been lots of rampant sex in my life, but always alone. Would
people still want to read about that? (Rhetorical, that.)

Yes, Dave Spart is right on this occasion. Jim, you'd love it, honestly.
It's good to have access to 28E and 13E. The audio quality from some
of the European classical music stations is suburb.

Well I don't know. My generation always thought of masturbation as a
substitute for something else, but I notice that the generations now in
their twenties and thirties seem to regard it as a part of their fuller
sex life. To me this is quite odd. I always thought that you masturbated
until you obtained a partner, then you shagged him/her until he/she grew
old and repulsive, then you attempted to persuade him/her to toss you
off while you thought of someone else, then when that failed (which it
usually did pretty quickly) you went back to wanking. Evidently that is
no longer the case. Fair enough. More power to your elbow.

I'm more likely to use the net in the future. The main reason I don't
already is that we're still stuck with a bandwidth of just over 3mbps.
Right on the edge of being useful for SD TV. But eventually I'd expect the
net to give a much wider choice, etc, than satellite. All we need is for
openreach to realise we exist... 8-]

But not Alba TV? ;-
