Not only content with having me miss Teachers and Scrapheap Challenge, the b*stard Welsh broadcasters have now decided I have to miss QI, as well.

It's payback time for all the episodes of the Tube that I couldn't watch back in the 80s because we couldn't get English Channel 4 in our area of Somerset - too many hills in the way of the transmitter you see

Ah, but you get to watch pobol Y Cwm- the best and least comprehensible soap opera in Britain!

Well, apparently today "Sheryl goes out in search of revenge, and Rhian meets up with Simon."

That's not strictly true, last weeks episode is on video awaiting his arival at some point this evening.
The Bristol channel and the hills work nicely for my area, we don't have to suffer S4C.

I'm here for you, B. Though I can't tape anything as I appear to have broken my VCR when moving house.
Liam.

Helpful that.
I've found out I _do_ get Scrapheap Challenge, just four weeks late and at 9:30 on a Saturday morning.

Well, um, that's bit perculiar. I wonder which Welshman thought that would be a good idea, and *why*

Mu Beta Posted Oct 12, 2003
The same Welshman that decides that nothing in the English Language gets broadcast on the fourth channel between 12 noon and 9pm

I have been, actually. Unfortunately, my vocabulary does not extend much further than:
Rwyn hoffi cwrw = I like beer.
Actually, I seem to have all the essentials covered, come to think of it.
