    Cue compelling before and after story.

    "Before" pictures in grey, "After" pictures in sharp bright colour.

    Oh, and make sure you put in the magic words:

    "It can change your life"

    You should be watching Starship Troopers on BBC One!

    Would you like to know more?

    Well, my old knife, which was bought by my wife while on holiday in Fyfe, caused me a lot of strife.

    So I guess it HAS changed my life!

    Absolutely horrific channel, easily the least watched channel on my set, it's either absolute shíte programming about country life in ulster, sub standard local news, or repackaged ITV reality dross, less than nothing worth watching on it. Films all over the tv schedule and they have home-shopping, shows the level they are at

  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators, Help & Feedback Category Moderators Posts: 9,808 CMod ✭✭✭✭Shield


    Well if it hasn't, just return it within 30 days for a full refund of the *cough* purchase *cough* price!

    I hate the way they show classic 70s and 80s films, but always at 2.30am, and always with the little man signing in the corner (no offence to deaf people, but it's quite distracting!)

    Nope, but I have a shed full of Parker Pens because I spend most of the day enquiring to Michael Parkinson about his over 70s life assurance plan!

    I really don't think there are any tv shows named any of those things!

    It can receive them as long as it has a compatible dropper receptacle that was installed before 1986.

    Yeah but I bought a pair of Gravity Boots off UTV Teleshopping last weekend. So whenever the aeroplane is upside down, I can still be right way up.....................or inside out. I can't remember which is which!
