I'd forgotten about the repeat. That takes a tiny bit of pressure off the repair shop. Not that I'm going to tell them that!

Watching isn't the point - I want to hoard them on DVD as well! I can watch it without the recorder, or I can dust off the old VHS recorder.

I just make sure that I have nice dinner and lots of choc something-or-other for afterwards. Some nice crisps are a good thing too.  |

That's a useful checklist! I will defiantly have a bottle of perfectly chilled sauv. blanc to hand during Top Gear and for the rest of May Night! We had some terrific storms here last night and the TV kept losing signal.This better not happen on Sunday.  |

My OH has been invited over to my brother-in-law's on Sunday night to watch some golfists hitting balls about on Sky.
This means that after I have bribed my son to go to bed without the usual bath/story combo I will have most of May night to myself.
Yippee. ;D ;D ;D

Sit there at 3PM US Eastern time thinking about how everyone is watching TG, hating that I can't get proper BBC in the states, wondering what is happening on the show and praying someone gets a torrent up within 24 hours Ditto -j |
