I've got DirecTV here (satelite) and it has the recording ability to add time before and after a show (which I do).  When I used to have cable, I wanted to do this but couldn't if I needed to record a different channel as well.  My new setup can record up to five shows at once so it can handle the overlaps well.

Ok, while my last post was technically correct, I just went to watch the movie I recorded a week ago and what do I find?  44 minutes of the end of a sporting event followed by my movie "joined in progress."
 
Useless.  Bah.

US TV must be much better than ours. I can barely think of one "must see" show. The chances of there being 5 on at the same time are about as likely as me going to the moon and bumping into Bapu eating spacedust and counting moonrocks during a well earned posting break.

You've obviously been reading John T's international bestseller "Why I am not sad, lonely, single, and sad"

Your testicles are writing books now ? What next ? "Life on the left" by Plummy ?

Well, when you have 785 channels available (which is what I currently get though I've reduced the list to "only" 220 that I'll actually use), you have a lot of choices.

He is thinking of writing something a bit more fruit-based...
 
The Plums of Wrath or such like.
 
And I think he's a little intimidated by his companion down them nether regions.
 
Although he did mention that he talks a fair amount of bollocks.
 
... etc ...
 
 
 
 
 
 

Is it a short story or more of a cod piece?
